Some might recall the last time I had to replace a service. Namely JSFIDDLE*, which suddenly decided to unlist all my fiddles. (as of end2024 they made "seeing ppls lists of fiddles a premium features. Good luck staying organized hah)

My solution ? Code a simple php and js to list my code like this. Also keeping a (roughly a few months old) backup on github too, just incase)

--------And today ?----------
Well. Bowlroll blatantly deleted /all/ of my 30 models I had uploaded. No questions asked. Had I not kept backups. I'd have lost the work of the past 4 months. forever ...

I quickly whipped [src ] up an alternative solution that renders a preview image and allows zip download. (Just like bowlroll. Minus the rules, toxicity, japanese exlusivity and hard-to-migrate stucture. And the stupid UI. I hate it.)

Eitherhow. I suppose you could say I was "let of with a warning".

I also backup my images drawn, my youtube videos uploded any my cod programmed on my own servers and places.

Don't. Trust. The. Internet. to keep your stuff safe.

The adage "if it's on the internet just once..."

Is false for your own data.

*(I also have a codepen... can't be sure that will be around forever either huh ?. Replit also disabled all rendering for repls. Unless you pay up. lovely.)

Buy a premodded Switch. Make em install Android. It'll be fun.

And fun it was. Until today, when I accidentally updated my switch from HOS 18 to HOS 19, burning fuses in the process.

Burnt fuses means the emunand needs to be recreated, and apparantly it also means the Switchroot Android 14 is now defunct. Great. So what could never happen on my V1 Switch (the android there is 4 years old)

So what to do ? Cry ?

.. Ofcourse not. Retry retry retry.

Download Android 11 https://download.switchroot.org/android-11/nx-tab-beta2.75-20230705-rel.7z% https://wiki.switchroot.org/wiki/android/11-r-setup-guide Drats. Not. working.

Retry that odin image from before the update ? Well. not only did odin not backup my entire sd (hidden partition ? we'll omit that), but I even got "fuses don't match errors" - Who'd have thought a hekate made process - Lineage OS could require matching fuses ? And all due to one lil folly of pressin "A" on an update prompt on StockOS..

Next thing ? Well. Try a donor 128 gb card (cause I didn't want to mess with the -working fine in stocksys and emunand 512 one):

1. attmempt ?+#Android 14 #Switchroot .. https://download.lineageos.org/devices/nx_tab/builds https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/nx_tab/ cause the seller had that on here too.

And ? Well. no. not working. Board was not initialzied properly. Hang prevented https://gist.github.com/Azkali/1d65ea4dc1bad755b1af982f13266384

Grrreat ?!. Updating the sdloader of the hwfly chip did nothing.. And now ? Well. This sucks.

I cna get LineageOS to boot from hekate (splashscreen shows), but the familiar "USB3 enabled" won't show.

more tries ? Well cool. How about more errors ?

More reformatting. And then, just as watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFT2Hyp-rFc makes me sad, as I did all that and just could not get the recovery to show up ...

Boom! A different error. "Joycon ini malformed"

As Dr.House would say "something changed, change is good !" And right this is. Suddenly the recovery opens !

Next thing: fomat userpartition and system partition, and...

Yay yay *dances. And after all is said and done: *Android 14 * EmuNand and stocksys

run happily alongside in my OLED Switch again. I'll never let it go again and to prevent updates, I'll autoboot to EMUNAND and block all nintysevers there, + dtnms

So, Crisis (as seen here) averted !
