Nice work! I tried this out a few months ago (maybe longer?) and it was still a bit too rough around the edges but I liked the concept. I’ll download it again today and give the new update a spin!

It’s the libertarian dream!

Thanks I’ll back these up as well!

All Citra repos including dependencies archived here: https://archive.org/download/citra-emu_GitHub_03-04-2024

Also latest Citra binaries for all platforms here: https://archive.org/download/citra-latest-builds-4th-march-2024

Breakpad (and all other dependencies–well anything hosted by Yuzu team on Github anyway) are included in this archive: https://archive.org/download/yuzu-emu_GitHub_03-04-2024

Even better, there’s full archives of all yuzu and citra GitHub repos on archive.org. Yuzu depends on a bunch of other repos they had hosted on their GitHub to build. Same with Citra. All of that is included, plus full git history, in the archive.org 7z files. The torrents are actually really fast right now as there are a lot of seeders. Highly recommend downloading while you can in case Nintendo files a DMCA.

Is there any way to download the whole git repo with history from that archive? Their FAQ seems to indicate there’s a way:

If absolutely needed, you can use the more expensive “revision” option of the Download button, that will prepare for you the equivalent of a git bare clone , which you will be able to use offline. This may require quite some time (hours, or even days for huge repositories).

But when I got to a repo I don’t see a “revision” option when I click the download button…

That’s true but there are a bunch of CDNs you can choose from and you can switch from one to another fairly easily. Cloudflare just happens to be the most popular at the moment but they’re not the only big player, not to mention smaller players.

FWIW I totally agree with the sentiment that Cloudflare (and AWS for that matter) is creating a too-centralized web. I just don’t see an issue with using CDNs for fediverse servers in general.

Yeah and not it’s not just with the Steam Deck either, it’s basically every hobby subreddit. 3D printing is a ton of “I just got my Ender 3 can’t wait to do my first print!”, Xbox is “Just got my Series X can’t wait to play!”, self hosting is “I just bought this Optiplex off eBay what should I host on it?!”, etc, etc, etc.

I stopped following a bunch of subreddits way before the API changes due to basically half my feed being crap like that.

Haha crazy to randomly come across that name on Lemmy. I bought a bunch of the parts for my NAS/Proxmox server from that seller a couple years ago.

Why not just use an ad blocker directly in your phone’s web browser? Works on any connection, works better than DNS based blockers because it will properly remove the page elements, and no need to connect to a VPN. PiHole is nice for devices you can’t install an ad blocker on like a smart tv or something but on anything with a controlable browser it’s objectively inferior to a native ad blocker…

You can side load apps now. For years actually.

I was just joking about OP being pedantic :)

The plural of cat is cats, not kittehs.

This 100%

You may also be surprised to find out that the Safari browser that comes with iOS has extensions support and even special support for content blockers (aka ad blocking extensions) that works great.

Apple doesn’t review it that thoroughly. They could easily send people’s credentials up to some server and Apple would likely not catch it.

What I mean is don’t just trust it because it’s in the App Store.

I personally use it because it has an active GitHub and is one of the more popular mobile clients. Also I don’t really care if my accounts get hacked in the first place lol so I’m also trying out Mlem beta and Wefwef. But even with that said I wouldn’t just try out any random new client that came along.

Also if it’s a desktop app they could just put the malicious code in the binary download 99% of people will use, or if it’s a web app, they just put it in their hosted version, etc.

Sweet, I have a steam deck, so I might do that. I also have an unpatched Switch I could use to play native with mods, and a mod chip sitting at home waiting to be installed in my OLED model to potentially do the same. Either way I think I’m gonna give it a shot with mods and see if I like it more, then move on to TOTK if so.

That’s great to hear. I had heard complaints about dips down to like 15fps and just generally being a 30fps game at very low render resolution that still had trouble with stable frame times. But I haven’t actually played it so it could just be the usually internet complaining. Now that I think of it I heard performance complaints about BOTW too but never noticed any while playing myself.
