What software is out there to verify that NSPs are authentic and unmodified? I would prefer one that runs on a Linux terminal.

Discord just banned most switch shop/drive related discords RIP (but this shouldn't impact using any of the services). If you use a tinfoil shop, check the message that loads when you connect in Tinfoil for information/alternatives.

From Teknik

servers we know that are impacted

  • Tits pro
  • Jits
  • Neko drive
  • neko tits
  • revolution
  • source shop
  • bikeborb
  • Alien gaming

Looks like communities are now moving to guilded.gg, however for such communities, I think that Matrix or something similar should be utilized.

Some of the invites I've found:

At least there is still a way to stay up to date of what's happening, however guilded.gg is clunky at best.

Hi, I have access to a paid shop but have 2 Nintendos. This shop decided after a while that the "licenses" changed from being able to use on 2 devices to just 1.

Now it's hard to keep mine and my SO's Nintendos games on the same version...

I was wondering if I could host them on my pc somehow and create an eshops connection just like a normal shop. Then I could download the games from the paid shop, somehow pull them from the switch to the server and there it is. The other switch just has to connect and update.

Is something like this possible? (sorry if the text is all over the place, it's late and I ran out of ADHD meds ๐Ÿ™ƒ. Hope you were still able to decipher what I meant)

A birdy told me that Teknik is creating 'The Source Shop' and/or a shop named, 'Revolution Shop' is in the works. What's actually happening?

Greetings fellow Switchers!

I have obtained a bigger SD card for my switch but I didn't not have enough space on my laptop to copy all the files from the old card. Is it possible if I connect both cards to the laptop and copy/paste everything to the new card?

Is it possible to copy only those files that are necessary to start the switch with the new card?

Thank you in advance!

Edit: I have file based emummc and not partitioned.

Even their discord server has disappeared.

I want to upgrade my SD card from 256gb to 512gb.

Will a simple copy and paste do the trick?

If you know a reliable guide please share it .

Thank you in advance.

I'm looking for something to download er... stuff... directly on the switch, but not tinfoil or not blawar related. Does something like that exists?

The original /r/piracy was purposefully gimped because Reddit received DMCAs for any random thing and didn't even bother to follow up. Since we're in new waters, I want things to be a bit more relaxed, but there's a limit on how relaxed we can be, without starting to get lawsuits, which I will not be able to fight off. I also host other communities and interests which might cause me headaches.

Remember, this is a hobby project (and none of you scurvy dogs are donating) :D

So here are some piracy-related ground rules for he whole of lemmy.dbzer0.com as of today

  1. No direct links. This means anything which would make Nintendo or Disney light my ass on fire. I am not going to ban you for it (unless you start doing this on purpose), but I will ask admins and mods to remove them.
  2. You can link to websites pages related to piracy. Linking to websites linking to your content (not with a 301 redirect, before you ask) is OK. In general try to keep one degree of separation between our collective groins and your links.
  3. Magnet Links and links to Torrent files are OK, unless we start getting into trouble for it.
  4. /c/piracy has its own, more restrictive rules. Follow them first when they differ from what I post here! /c/piracy is for generic discussion, I don't want it to turn into a link repository full of beggars, got it?
  5. These rules apply to all pirate communities in lemmy.dbzer0.com. Unless that community has more restrictive rules from its own mods. I can easily get a lawsuit because you start making a nintendo ROM link repository.
  6. You can still post direct links elsewhere: If you want a place to post direct links, I suggest you use a community on a server setup to handle this. This requires some significant investment in anonymity and hosting provider (these providers are 3x as expensive, yo!). You can still subscribe and share from those communities with your account in lemmy.dbzer0.com, which can serve as your "port of safety" as those lemmies could be taken down due to those links. If that happens, this safer community will still be up.

All in all, this lemmy is supposed to be Pirate-allied, but not a direct link repository. I literally cannot handle that legal risk at the moment. I hope you all understand the realities of our situation. As much as we can argue that a link to a file is not infringing, the Cartel's legal fund is bottomless, and all I have is a tinsy-tiny treasure chest under my birdbath.

If any pirate communites need to migrate after this, I understand. I would still suggest you keep them around as the "safe" community, and post your link aggregation on a lemmy instance which can handle the eye of sauron. This way you get both a stable community and account, and your links via fediverse. Win-win.
