How would I play against Stockfish 8?

I'm pretty sure the version of Komodo used by chess.com utilizes an NNUE, and I would like to play several games against Komodo using SF 8's moves to see how closely-rated depth and NNUE engines compare to each other.

Is there an option on Lichess or chess.com or any other site where I can play SF 8? Or is there any specific bot on Lichess that doesn't use NNUE?

You can play the engines against each other using Arena Chess on a pc or on Chess for Android if you have an android phone.

I don't have access to a Windows pc atm and on the android app I can't find an explanation about the rating of each level. I found a website where I can play against all 15 SF "levels," but there it is also unclear what their elo is.

Is there anywhere else I can play SF 8?

Go to Lichess, click "Play", then dismiss the "Create a game" dialog that pops up. After that goes away, click "Play with the computer" and you can choose Stockfish Level 8.

I don't believe Dragon is being utilized here, so no NNUE.

I've tried that, but again it doesn't say its rating. Is level 8 of Fairy-Stockfish the same as Stockfish 8?

Oh. Unfortunate.
