Hosting Update 2025
Greetings MEGA65 fans! I am updating the hosting situation of this newsletter. Hopefully this will be automatic for nearly everyone, and you don’t need to do anything. Here’s what you need to know.
As I mentioned in last month’s Digest, I am updating the hosting situation of this newsletter. Based on many recommendations from friends and my experiences with other newsletters, I have chosen Buttondown for email subscriptions. They’re featureful, reasonably priced, and best of all, you don’t need to create an account to be an email subscriber.
In most cases, you don’t have to do anything in response to this change. Here are the details.
Email:
- Email subscriptions should update automatically.
- You may need to confirm that you are receiving emails from Buttondown correctly. (Check your spam folder, etc.) If you received this by email, then it’s working.
- To change your email subscription, see the link at the bottom of every email.
Podcast:
- Podcast subscriptions should update automatically. We’ll see what happens with the next episode. ๐
- Apple Podcasts has been updated with the new feed URL, and the old feed URL has been set to redirect to the new one.
- To subscribe to the podcast in your podcast player, search for “Dan’s MEGA65 Digest,” or add the RSS feed directly.
RSS feed readers and the Substack app:
- If you read the Digest with an RSS feed reader, make sure you are subscribed to the RSS feed on my website, not Substack’s feed.
- If you read the Digest through the Substack app, consider subscribing by email, or use an RSS feed reader.
- New issues will not be posted to Substack.
Substack paid subscriptions:
- If you support the Digest with a paid Substack subscription, thank you for your support!
- Your subscription is still active. You should be able to manage your subscription through Buttondown, or directly through Stripe. Substack no longer takes a cut.
- Feel free to move your patronage subscription to Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/dddaaannn
All issues of the Digest are on my website: dansanderson.com/mega65/ For now, I will leave copies of past issues on Substack’s website to preserve links. New issues will be posted exclusively to my website, and distributed by email and these feeds.
Thank you for your patience as I work out the kinks in the new tools! Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or feedback.
