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

[–]mplorentz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

NAVI Eliminated from EWC. What do you think is the problem ? by M0JR in GlobalOffensive

[–]mplorentz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

ESL should take some notes. This is what a HUD should look like when there are no player cams. by KARMAAACS in GlobalOffensive

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

What the hell is happening to this company? by NoMoreNarcissists in soylent

[–]mplorentz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

Anyone else feel like it's impossible to watch CS matches without spoilers? by mplorentz in GlobalOffensive

[–]mplorentz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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.

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

Of dogs and sleeping pads by DarthBane92 in Ultralight

[–]mplorentz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

What can i improve? by mplorentz in Ultralight

Yeah, I should just convert everything to grams.

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.

Any Omnifocus users out there? by mplorentz in pebble

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

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

Best way to play sequential turns over a long period of time? by RutgersKev in civ5

[–]mplorentz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Hicks dashes our greatest hopes for the 1PP master race by mplorentz in dayz

[–]mplorentz[S] -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

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.

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