Stop hosting all your shit on a corporate owned platform.

[–] stembolts 63 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (6 children)

I am surprised there isn't a torrent version of Yuzu.
A magnet string would be unstoppable.

Pretty sure I found one, can magnet strings be posted here?

[–] [email protected] 44 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Trouble is that people want to continue working on it.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Seeing how determined nintendo is, I think the only long term solution would probably be to continue development on a code forge hosted as a hidden service. Either Tor or I2P.
Yes, it won't be easy to use, especially for those who are not familiar with this tech, but I expect these to be much more harder for nintendo to take down.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Since they're not breaking any laws, they shouldn't be getting their code taken down anyways.

This could be grounds for a lawsuit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Lawsuit would not be wise. Nintendo is working outside of the law right now which is where they're weak. Suyu and the other forks just need to move their repo to a git hoster not based in the US so that they're not threatened by DMCA (which is a scare tactic anyways but github is going to comply with regardless). The suyu team is not breaking any laws nor have they gone against the terms of the lawsuit against yuzu.

Just pull a Pirate Bay and use a git platform that isn't based in the US

Err on the side of caution, don't post it. This comm is already in hot water on multiple instances.

Suyu also hosts full backups of other projects, for example Yuzu, Ryujinx or Dolphin

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Unless the donations continue to flow, that repo won't last forever because hosting and serving data isn't free.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago

Eh, you can host a gitea instance on a $3.50 VPS pretty easily. I don't think money will be an issue when it comes to hosting and serving.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I got one of these. I dont understand why theyre going after us now. I thought their issue was all the money they were making off of "promoting piracy".
Im guess im not surprised

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Nintendo just wants emulators gone. They only use those excuses as a front.

Meanwhile ryujinx be like "nothing to see here"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

IANAL, but they should be fine since they aren't decrypting / breaking DRM they same way Yuzu was. They are a much cleaner codebase, much more similar to mGBA and Dolphin.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (2 children)

But did yuzu actually break DRM? I thought that if I dumped my own game and keys with a modded (1st gen) switch and feed all of that into yuzu, nothing illegal would be going on.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I don't believe Yuzu went to court, but that was the accusation Nintendo was suing them over. Ryujinx wasn't sued, so Nintendo either didn't believe they had done the same, or didn't care. We didn't get to have a discovery process for the case to find out for sure, so we don't know.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (4 children)

iirc it was yuzu who linked tools to do it, but the application itself didnt do it. Yuzus main problem was often linking to resources and advertising stuff, and partially locking it behind a paywall.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

They allegedly also advertised that newegames, like TotK was running better on the EA builds and there's the suspicion that the yuzu team also distributed the keys via torrents. All of these are just allegations, though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

The paywall as far as I know isn't that much of problem. Cemu has/had a paywall for years. Several other, though less successful, emulators have had paywalled content/early access as well. The BLEEM emulator that was brought to court was a paid commercial product. So that currently is perfectly legal within the jurisdiction of those cases. Nintendo's case against Yuzu was about piracy/DRM circumvention. That wasn't brought to court, so we don't know the outcome however.

Ryujinx wasn’t sued, so Nintendo either didn’t believe they had done the same, or didn’t care.

Ryujinx is nowhere near as popular as Yuzu, so that probably has a lot to do with it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

This is probably in a legal grey area in the US. The Yuzu case was settled out of court because Nintendo had dirt on the team behind it, so it's unclear whether a judge would rule that this kind of circumvention is legal.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Why there's no decentralized github-like ?

[–] [email protected] 71 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Git is already decentralised. Every github-like is interoperable with every other github-like. But just because something works together with many others doesn't makes it invulnerable to legal takedowns. Nintendo is a gaming company. They have no problems playing whack-a-mole, as demonstrated here.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but Nintendo hasn't won a lawsuit, which means the code isn't illegal to share. They just convinced GitHub to take it down.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I think there's a difference between distributed and decentralised. But apart from that 👍

[–] MajorHavoc 25 points 6 months ago (1 children)

There's are a few, but they're pretty new. Codeberg / Forejo seems to be the most popular, at the moment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

But it's not yet federalized. I host my forgejo instance but others can't yet create issues there.

[–] MajorHavoc 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I've been kinda low key waiting for federation on Feorejo to move most of my personal projects off of GitHub. I've been busy anyway, so I guess, for me, it's a race between their clever devs and my procrastinating...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm so excited for it. Forgejo is by itself fully usable, but I want to be able to federate stuff.

[–] MajorHavoc 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Me too. GitHub is a huge part of my professional portfolio. I don't like trusting a single corporation with that much of my employment future. I saw colleagues who relied heavily of Twitter have a really bad time when it descended into bots and spam.

Forejo seems like the logical next step to protect my professional portfolio.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

GitHub is huge for visibility, don't underestimate it. I put everything on my git server and mirror my important projects to GitHub and codeberg.org. One of the things I'm excited about is a method of discover ability for my stuff. And if course collaboration being possible on my server, as others can't open issues and stuff on my server.

[–] MajorHavoc 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah. I'll keep things on GitHub, as well. GitHub has been very good for my professional portfolio.

But I'm hoping to get to where my primary activity is on my own servers, and everything is mirrored to GitGub, or vice-versa. That way, if GitHub decides to hold my portfolio hostage, I can just redirect my resume link and get on with my life.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago
  • Forgejo: But ForgeFed, it's federation software is still under development
  • Radicle: But they have unnecessary ties with crypto stuff
[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago

Check out forgejo. While git is „decentralized“ it is not discoverable. Forgejo is pretty much there afaik using ap protocol.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago
[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Btw Suyu hosts a full backup of Yuzu (and other stuff like Ryujinx or Dolphin in case it gets taken down at some point) on their Forgejo instance

It's also available via Tor as an onion site: http://suyudev2qxj5x7mroamgwf4hqunz4pups27z2kl77x4ioqhh5yhpshad.onion/

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I'm wondering if that's going to stay up for long considering what happened with the Suyu team last month.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I'm referring to this and this

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

What exactly are you referring to?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago

I just hope the Citra forks won't be targeted. Citra was only killed as collateral damage, but I still can't help but be nervous anyway...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Bro, they have to stop!
