List of #IPv6 services in Azure (from May this year): https://msandbu.org/ipv6-support-in-microsoft-azure/
I generally use Azure virtual servers, which support dual stack, with a public IP (which supports IPv6).

The thing where Tumblr and maybe Flickr are embracing ActivityPub is just so interesting to me
For years now the single biggest challenge in launching new social software has been bootstrapping new social graphs for your users
Around 2010 the answer was to use FB and Twitter APIs, but those have got more restricted over time and don't really feel like a safe bet to build on in 2022
Having smaller (but still huge!) networks embrace an open standard feels like a HUGE leap forward

World-building question: Do you have any food-themed holidays in your tabletop games?
In the game I'm running, the local temple bakes a huge cake to feed everyone in town. The players have been getting increasingly creative with it as the festival approaches.

Doing a bit of an experiment. Boost if you agree!

Digital edition of #Dragonlance pre-order has arrived. Time to settle in for some all-day reading!

So the Tumblr owner tweeted (how ironic) they would be adopting ActivityPub, but lets wait to see something actually happen. Articles pointed to "WordPress supports ActivityPub" , but it's actually a third party plugin by https://mastodon.social/@pfefferle (great plugin - I use it on my blog).

Every once in a while, I stumble across a quote that tells me that what we play today as a #ttrpg is nothing at all like #garygygax intended. And I'm ok with that:
> Number of Players: At least one
> referee and from four to fifty
> players can be handled in any
> single campaign, but the referee
> to player ratio should be about
> 1:20 or thereabouts.

I finally got time to redo my #ttrpg website! Very happy with the new look and streamlined look. Yay productivity! #indiegame #indiedev

Just finished an epic Burning Wheel #ttrpg campaign I have been playing every 2-3 weeks or so since January 2018 (108 sessions)!
You should use a #VPN that supports #IPv6 such as AirVPN, PerfectPrivacy, or HideMe. As well as IPv6, #AirVPN is #OpenSource, supports #WireGuard, you can pay by #bitcoin, and they also endorse #Mastodon https://airvpn.org/

The other reality: people will -- and currently do -- pay for using the Fediverse.
As I've pointed out elsewhere, here's where it's currently being monetized:
1. Donations
2. Hosting
3. Support
4. Consulting
5. Customizing
We don't need to go the "let's put up ads bolstered by metrics proven by spying on people."
That's been done. It was awful. Let's never ever do that again.

This #mastodon thingy here is the true Web 3.0. And as we predicted, there's no #blockchain involved. We don't need it.
Thanks to all the #fediverse developers, you are so awesome!

I'm Jeremy, and I'm a keen player of #ttrpg like #dnd
I'm also a *very* amateur #blacksmith, and my full-time job is playing concierge to my two cats, Colin and Suzie.
When I'm not doing that, I'm an engineering manager at a software firm, and most Tuesday evenings I run D&D at my local #boardgame cafe as part of a #meetup
