Fuuuck that

Search “switch hacking is easy” - there’s an ancient site that got dcma’d (or something) that is defunct but someone rehosted it under “switch hacking is still easy” on github.

That’ll help you tell whether you’re able to use the joycon jumper method or not. If not, it’s a very fiddly modchip install that I wouldn’t recommend unless you’re experienced in soldering.

Be sure you understand the difference between launching directly and installing a parallel OS (sysmmc vs emummc, I think?)

Someone might need to check me but if you do sysmmc then boot into it without the hacks and Nintendo domain blocking, it’ll connect up to Nintendos servers and report the hack and ban your console

I know it’s not totally relevant but I once convinced a company to run their log aggregators with 75 servers and 15 disks in raid0 each.

We relied on the app layer to make sure there was at least 3 copies of the data and if a node’s array shat the bed the rest of the cluster would heal and replicate what was lost. Once the DC people swapped the disk we had automation to rebuild the disks and add the host back into the cluster.

It was glorious - 75 servers each splitting the read/write operations 1/75th and then each server splitting that further between 15 disks. Each query had the potential to have ~1100 disks respond in concert, each with a tiny slice of the data you asked for. It was SO fast.

I will be loudly knocking on wood after posting this, but I set up my NAS with RAID5 and have had 1 drive die on me but I hot-swapped one in and recovered the entire volume.

No regrets, highly recommend raid5

I’ve asked for help finding API endpoints that do what I want because I’m feeling too lazy to pour over docs and it’ll just invent endpoints that don’t exist

Hey guys we made a neat new Bluetooth tracker! We’re innovators!

There’s an XKCD for that!

I mean gitlab is pretty sweet
