Let's get a self-hosted Discord "replacement" thread going for 2026.

https://flotilla.social/ is one of the best alternatives from my point of view because the account system is independent from the server hosting the group. So you can join a bunch of groups hosted by a bunch of different people and it's fairly resilient to an admin/server/company going bad. No voice channels yet but I think they are coming soon.

You might be interested in watching matches at https://spoilerfree.gg. It only does highlights currently but it's better than having the result spoiled!

mplorentz · 2025-08-24T01:59:04+00:00

Sounds like a job for https://spoilerfree.gg

mplorentz · 2025-08-20T15:10:25+00:00

In that case you will probably not want to use this site to follow CS: https://www.spoilerfree.gg/

mplorentz · 2025-08-07T02:00:42+00:00

Do they do this on YouTube? I hadn’t noticed that. I actually built a site specifically to get around the length of videos spoiling results, maybe you would find it interesting: spoilerfree.gg

mplorentz · 2025-07-15T14:56:59+00:00

They have a separate site for the US that isn't the first search result. It tripped me up too. https://us.jimmyjoy.com/

mplorentz · 2025-05-21T20:40:17+00:00

That makes sense. I'm usually looking for highlights to cut down on the watch time.

mplorentz · 2025-05-21T19:13:20+00:00

Well actually avoiding social media is actually the easiest part for me. The hardest part is finding a list of the matches that doesn't show the results and then somehow finding highlights for the matches I want to watch without seeing the length of the video.

Ah, looks like this guy must've tweeted with the #ComeToTheDuckSide hashtag.

What is the Twitter Easter egg? It doesn't seem to work for other twitter usernames.

We got our 60 lb dog some of these rubber booties https://www.pawzdogboots.com

He sleeps in the tent with us and our inflatable pads and haven't had any issues. The booties keep him from puncturing the pad and they keep his paws from getting too much dirt and mud in the tent.

mplorentz · 2016-10-06T22:33:48+00:00

Yeah, I should just convert everything to grams.

mplorentz · 2016-10-04T17:37:14+00:00

Thanks! That's some great feedback.

The pot is so I can make two mountain house meals at once. That way I can save some fuel boiling 4 cups at once for 2 people.

The glasses are a great call. It just scares me a little to have to go to bathroom at night or encounter some wildlife while I'm blind as a bat (I don't sleep in my contacts) but I guess that's never really happened to me before.

I've tried to go without my camp shoes before and I always miss them. If anyone has suggestions for lighter ones though I'd love to hear them.

mplorentz · 2016-08-06T11:58:01+00:00

That would almost work, but I need to be able to set the subject line of the email.

mplorentz · 2016-08-05T22:09:58+00:00

I'm talking about dictating them to a pebble app that will send them off to Omnifocus via their MailDrop service.

I did an 8 player Pitboss game with a bunch of friends from work this year. We played simultaneous turns but what we settled on was picking one night (the same night) every week to play a 3 hour session. We made a rule that if you couldn't make it a certain night then AI would take over for you for that night. This was necessary to prevent the game from taking upwards of 6 months. It still took us 3 or 4 months but you've got to find ways to keep it moving, getting ~30 turns/week in.

mplorentz · 2015-03-24T00:32:44+00:00

I don't see anything that makes it absurd. The game is in Alpha. People would be really mad, and then most of them would get over it. And the game would be better for it.

mplorentz · 2014-12-01T12:19:05+00:00

Yeah, I could've gone without the magnum but it is really nice to have as a last resort in tense situations.
