To all TRPG developers, Fabula Ultima released their third party license today in a surprise drop. It was shockingly nice to developers: you can copy rules text, unrevokable, you own your work, no fees, commercial.

I just went on a follow-fest for women with a PhD, but realized I'm already mutuals with almost everyone who shows up in the limited search results 😋

If you're a Dr. Gal or other female science communicator type, pop into the thread, say hi!

I'd love to learn about what you do 💜
(and I'm sure lots of others would too)

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 . 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 (, ) in Brisbane tonight!

I just started an #IPv6 compatibility database.
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.

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 is still one of the top 10 countries in the world. socialprogress.org/2024-social

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.

Anno Magica 2024

This is going to be a big year for Ars Magica! Ars Magica is at the foundation of Atlas Games. Our first product, Tales of the Dark Ages, was a licensed Ars Magica scenario collection. Jonathan Tweet and Mark Rein•Hagen's game was first published by Lion Rampant in 1987, then by White Wolf, and then Wizards of the Coast, who sold the game to us in 1996. Since then we've published the 4th Edition (digital bundle on sale this weekend!), the 5th Edition, and dozens of adventures and supplements. Translations have appeared in languages such as German, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian. Though we haven't released a new printed book since Dies Irae: A Book of Wrathful Days in 2016, the game has an active and enthusiastic audience, and the game and supplements continue to sell steadily in both print and digital formats. For more than three years we've been working on Ars Magica 5th Edition Definitive. At long last, we expect this will be ready for crowdfunding in the fall of 2024, twenty years after the original release of 5th Edition. SIGN UP NOW FOR REMINDERS! We're going to have a lot more to say about this in the coming months, and we'll be looking for feedback from our fan community. Here are some things we can tell you right now: David Chart, Line Developer for 5th Edition, has spent the last few years revising and updating its text. While the underlying manuscript is the 5th Edition text, extensive revisions reflect decades of play and incorporate a host of new material published since the original rulebook's release. Ars Magica 5th Edition Definitive is a much bigger book than the original!We'll release a deluxe, full color, hardcover print edition of the Definitive core rulebook, with new art and layout and heirloom production quality.Ars Magica 5th Edition Definitive will have an open license (the lead contender is CC BY-SA 4.0, if you're curious). We recently completed our long-term project of resurrecting original printer files for the entire Ars Magica 5th Edition line of supplements, converting them to softcover print-on-demand. This means that the entire line of supplements, fully compatible with ArM5D, can remain in print indefinitely, both as ebooks and as printed books made to order and delivered to buyers anywhere in the world. We intend for Ars Magica to be a game enjoyed and creatively expanded for generations to come. Watch this space, as we'll have much more to say about what we're doing (and why!). And in the meantime, sign up NOW for reminders when it launches later this year!

adds out of the box support for creating 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. github.com/aws/aws-cdk/pull/28
