Also, shout-out to @letsencrypt for dramatically changing the security landscape of the Web for the better over the years.
Rarely is there an example of a project so effective and so directly improving everyone's lives, while at the same time keeping the original engineering mindset and just Doing Stuff Right™ humbly in the background.
Next November it will have been exactly a decade since LE started. We all owe them a huge 10th birthday party.

Just checked a few other instances, and wondering why so many are blocking #threads. That's like having your email provider block Gmail, and a very weird thing to do in my opinion. Is it just fear/uncertainity/not understanding how Mastodon/ActivityPub works?
Seeing Peter Hook & the Light (#JoyDivision, #NewOrder) in Brisbane tonight!
@QOTO any plans on updating the Masto version? Qoto is still on 3.2.1 from Oct 2020.

I just started an #IPv6 compatibility database.
https://gosix.net
I have been working with IPv6 for about 15 years and I've always wanted to have such a database.
This way you can get a good estimate about how good IPv6 support is prior to buying or implementing solutions.
You helping to fill the database is very appreciated.
#Social #Progress Index 2024 shows a slight decline for the latest year (2023), so when people say "it was better in the past", so long as they mean 2021 / 2022 and no earlier they are technically correct; of course we are still far better off than 2020 or earlier. Despite his blip, overall the world is still better than it used to be on almost any aspect you measure on needs, wellbeing, and opportunity. And #Australia is still one of the top 10 countries in the world. https://www.socialprogress.org/2024-social-progress-index/

And of course what got me thinking about Ars again was today's announcement of the forthcoming Ars Magica Definitive Edition.
According to the announcement, the 5e sourcebooks will be fully compatible with the Definitive Edition -- which is also going to have an open license.
I'm beyond stoked for this one.

#aws #cdk adds out of the box support for creating #ipv6 network with level 2 constructs for dual stack VPC now merged. By default this will include IPv6 public networks, egress-only gateways for private networks (with end-to-end global addresses), and NAT64 routing for IPv6 only instances. When created as dual stack, automatic IPv4 public addresses are turned off to avoid costs as AWS will be charging for them from 01 Feb. I hope the new standard becomes dual stack, to avoid those costs, and start having IPv6 as the default. https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/pull/28480
Just wrote a #powershell script to send #matter #iot (#ipv6) commands to a Python Matter Server, trying to test if the Binding (0x001E) function on my #Zemismart in-line switch works, it didn't :-( https://github.com/sgryphon/iot-demo-build/blob/main/matter-thread/README-matter-thread.md

Happy so far with my new kitchen day & night clock (prototype). Hopefully makes it easier to understand time vs sun (best to install on a southern wall).
