  • I was briefly a moderator of a sub with a few thousand subscribers, the amount of spam alone made me give it up. It’s relentless and never stops. The only thing that made it tolerable was the mod features in Apollo. I can’t imagine what it’s like with some of these really active communities with millions of subscribers. People just don’t realize how prevalent the spam/harassment truly is online, and Reddit screwing over the volunteers who clean up that shit is enough to keep me off for good.




  • The only things I can think of are

    • You are misremembering something. Maybe it was a different Pokémon you saw, or you battled someone with it (although I looked and didn’t see any trainer in Leaf Green with a Murkrow…) Or you played someone’s Fire Red and conflated the two.
    • Non-genuine cart with a hacked ROM has exclusives from Fire Red added.
    • An unknown/undocumented glitch caused you to encounter it.

    The latter two seem unlikely and the first one seems most plausible to me. I don’t mean any offense and I’m not trying to call you out. Just feels like the most likely explanation.

    The games don’t forget which version they are so that can’t be it. It’s not a single ROM that gets marked as red or green, each game is compiled and built to be what it is on the cart.

    Other than that I really can’t think of what it could be. I agree, searching around online I haven’t found anyone or any glitches to explain that happening. Weird!




  • I currently use a custom filter/rewrite in AdGuard Home (similar to pihole).

    An alternative to running a central dns server is to use mDNS. You can install a daemon on each server that you want to access via hostname, and then clients know that ServerName.local domains should be resolved using mdns. They send out a dns query to a local multicast IP, the daemon on the servers receives the query and the appropriate one responds. By design it’s local only.



  • Pokémon Scarlet. I’ve got a bunch of the ominous stakes to find still, I was really trying to not use a guide but it’s been a few weeks now. Even with the performance issues I still really enjoy the story.

    I also still need to get back to grinding for all the master trainer titles in Pokémon Let’s Go. We’ll see, as I get older it’s harder and harder to finish games at all.
