I’ve been using https://utteranc.es/, same concept but using Github issues as comment. This is interesting, especially if there’s a way to handle each user’s instances.

That is an odd take, I mean, if there are still new games release on Switch in 20 years, then sure? Switch definitely has better chance on having newer games than DS in those time frame.

The reason for my question: I don’t want to own obsolete hardware in 10 years.

In that case, why not wait for the next gen? I have my Switch since 2018, I think, it’s still the first gen one, that can be modded without hardware. I’ll continue play it as long as there’s a game for it. The only way to have the most time of a hardware is to get it when it’s new, right?

Paying somebody for streaming film and TV shows that they have no hand in producing, and thus not supporting new productions — same as I can download for free myself? — that makes no sense to me

It makes sense for me. The one i’m using is $20 per year. I just think of it as convenience fee. It has netflix features but for all movies and tv shows.

unless you stay permanently offline, but at that point you might as well just mod your Switch anyway.

I feel like that’s the point of this cart. Hard modding is near impossible for most people. The choice is sending your switch to random person to be modded, which I doubt it’ll be cheap. Or just get a flash cart.

None that I’ve found has anything close to SponsorBlock for youtube, in theory it could work, even SponsorBlock has open issue for it.

The problem is, a lot of podcasts are using dynamic ads insertion, which means the ads are added on the fly when user download an episode. Ads length could be different from person to person, and there’s a possibility of empty slot too, where the podcast unable to sell the slot. “We’ll be back after this short message,” and jump straight into the next segment. No ad.

Gmail to MXroute when Google threatened to pull the grandfathered free Gmail custom domain thing. Got their lifetime plan, easy enough to configure so outgoing mails don’t get marked as spam. However, the major downside is it’s still using Spam Assassin as spam filter.

Never modded anything, but if there are no better applicants, I’ll help.

Weird, I don’t have that. Free user for years.

Is the free version of Spark not good enough? What paid feature you need?

You’ve got it. it’s the setting in the server.

By default, it was on “internet only”

Thank you, and everyone for responding!

Personally, I’m just using Simplenote. Just the other day there was this post.

“Where do I find servers and bots and pack numbers?” It’s as easy as using a xdcc search engine. http://sunxdcc.com/ has both a search and a list of networks. (DCC is Direct Client to Client meaning no files pass thru the server and XDCC is a version of DCC that allows large files to be transferred.)

Thanks for this. Was on IRC since before Napster, Kazaa, etc. Torrent was the one that took me off IRC. Nowadays I just don’t know which server and channel to join.

I have a dated opinion, it’s probably still true, but compute power is much cheaper now.

If your player doesn’t support the format, Plex will transcode it on the server – which is extremely slow if all you have is just a junk pc as server, while on Kodi (or what I personally use, Infuse), you can use any file server, like smb, and they’ll just play. No fuss, any lags will definitely be a network issue.

They do. I can see that it’s a deal breaker for some, but IMO github acc is better than disqus. IDK, maybe there are better options listed by others here.

My requirements were I don’t want to deal with user accounts and spam, and not disqus (I’ve blocked it with pihole).

Currently using https://utteranc.es/ for my blog. Though I’m not sure in the privacy side. It uses github issues as the backend.
