you would realise security even without the cloud is critical to protecting systems

Wazuh, the software I specifically called out. Is not “cloud”. They offer a cloud service, yes (that’s how they make money, on lazy admins or orgs that are too small to house their own infra). But it is self-hosted and designed to be run within the network.

You clearly have no idea what the current security market looks like. Nor what half of the terms you use actually mean.

Edit: Forgot to address this too

Virtualising every single system endpoint is practically impossible, which Wazuh seems to rely on.

No. The agent can be installed on ANY system. They recommend you install the orchestration/control node virtualized, which you don’t have to do. You can install it on a raw system though that would be a huge waste of resources. You seem to have missed that.

It is clear what you engaged in was attempting to malign all Lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml users

By pointing out the correct answer to a persons question?

Are you okay? You realize that my answer was basically the same as the other answer given by the lemmy.ml user in a different part of the thread. Just not an essay’s worth of content when a sentence is sufficient.

You are a piece of shit. If Kiwifarms goes after people like you

So a call to action to dox people? Why are you threatening people and calling them names? Aren’t you a mod? I mean you might have a case or argument if the votes weren’t kept on the platform itself.

The latter is beyond lacking in open source ecosystem

And yet software like Wazuh (https://github.com/wazuh) exist… Which are complete SIEM and XDR platform. Which does more than any antivirus could ever dream to do. But somehow OSS security is lacking? Sounds like you haven’t looked at the security field seriously in decades. Kaspersky doesn’t lead the pack in anything and it isn’t in a “level field”. Quite the contrary Antivirus as a concept has been commodified in IT. They’re all generally drop in replacements for each other and are not what is actually used to prove to security auditors that systems are secure. You may get %1 detection differences between platforms or maybe an update 30 minutes or an hour earlier. This is generally meaningless and the modern tools actually used to prove security go way deeper than an antivirus.

Lying to yourself is never going to solve problems.

Seems to work for you though?

Nothing you do on ANY activitypub-based platform is “private”. This platform is outright public. A bit disappointing that you still haven’t figured it out, especially as someone who purports to care about privacy in any capacity.

Because being critical of a Russian company = racism. At least according to lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml users.

Ah sorry, wrong word. Meant taxes. will fix now, thanks.

Ah yes, the actual mortgage value… the principal is definitely covered in the deduction of the interest… The interest definitely isn’t literal income for the bank and they definitely don’t pay taxes on income that they make.

Edit: Also there’s caps on that value anyway…

However, there are mortgage deductions limits to be aware of: Loans taken out after December 15, 2017 – limit of $750,000 ($375,000 for married couples filing separately) Loans taken out on or before December 15, 2017 – $1 million ($500,000 for married couples filing separately)

With the prices of homes now… It’s entirely possible you’re completely fucked and paying on that interest anyway.

Bank pays taxes on their income. That interest rate IS their income. Yes double taxing would be bad.

But thanks for proving my point! You cannot deduct your mortgage. You can only deduct specific aspects of it. All of which is not the actual mortgage principal itself. So when you buy a $500k house… even putting 20% down and end up paying $506k in interest over the loans lifetime… Yeah, you’re not paying interest on another companies income. That’s pretty standard. You’re still going to be paying taxes on the 500k principal balance of your mortgage, and property taxes on top of that!

while rent is constantly going up.

Yes because materials to effect repairs on your house/apartment are also going up. Skilled labor costs for effecting those repairs are also going up. Property taxes are going up. Costs to insure properties are going up. HOA costs are going up (If you live in one). Mortgages are NOT the only thing that your landlord has to think about. Nor the only thing that they need in order to break even on the property itself. But you wouldn’t know since you apparently have never owned one before. Lots of people are being priced out of their own OWNED homes due to the above factors. Hell I had to replace the roofing on my patio… A 10x30 square fucking roof. Cost me nearly $6k. That shit would have been like $2-3k a few years ago. If I were to rent that house, I’d need to add $100/mo in order to account for that cost over the next 20 months… Where inevitably something else will break and I’d have to find money for that too. If you want to be pissed that your rent is rising, be pissed at the people currently fucking up the economy and making everything fucking harder. That’s why rent is rising. It’s a pressure on EVERYONE renting properties out to raise so they can all do it safely without worrying about market competition.

Edit: Also… Live in an upscale area where price of housing is high anyway? You may not be able to deduct the full interest costs either!

However, there are mortgage deductions limits to be aware of:
Loans taken out after December 15, 2017 – limit of $750,000 ($375,000 for married couples filing separately)
Loans taken out on or before December 15, 2017 – $1 million ($500,000 for married couples filing separately)

Edit2: oops. wrong word.

You can only deduct taxes paid on your mortgage. Not the actual mortgage. Not sure why i keep seeing this and piece of misinformation everywhere.

It never mathed up. This why i asked very simple questions and never got anything remotely close to an answer. Ultimately it comes down to one thing though… if Nintendo was 100% correct and yuzu was 100% wrong like this lunatic believes… wouldn’t they have never settled out of court and pursued complete and utter devastation of everyone related to yuzu just to set the court precedent alone? Nintendo didn’t. So…

For some strange reason… why are you pretending you didn’t even know you could be liable as an LLC a comment ago…?

I never made such a claim. Read the sentence. Read the context of the post. Emulation is not illegal, therefore no torte could be claimed. And short of them piercing the veil… There’s no liability. Why would Yuzu devs be individually liable and need to claim bankruptcy? Answer that question before you post anything else.

If you company gets taking for 2.4 bil, how do you expect to pay that if you make 80k a year…?

That’s the whole point. The company doesn’t. The company folds and walks away. There’s no point in fighting the lawsuit if there’s already nothing on the table to lose or gain. It’s not like Yuzu could counter sue and make money back for all the effort they’re going to not put into the emulator while going through the process.

If you think I was saying you would always be liable, well that’s entirely on your ineptness that you’ve clearly shown this entire exchange.

Nah that’s because that’s literally what you said. But you like going back and editing comments without making it known. I bring up how an LLC works as an idea of why folding my company would make sense. You bring up Gary Bowser like that relevant at all, with NO ties to the current conversation.

You can’t seriously be this inept can you? LLC is this magic thing that protects you from ALL liability… right…. Lmfao.

Considering I actually have one. Am successful. Have successfully defending IRS audits and lawsuits in the past, I’m going to say that I firmly understand what an LLC is and how to use it to protect you. I’ve never once claimed bankruptcy and have talked to lawyers about how it all works (and don’t have to retain them yearly!). I am highly suspicious that you have no fucking clue what an LLC actually is, nor can even understand how it’s relevant the discussion at hand.

Let’s go back and pull all the questions you refused to answer.

Why is Yuzu illegal? What part of Yuzu is any different than sony v bleem!?
Where is the proof for “The key they used to make the base engine was ripped from online”?
Where did Yuzu provide bios keys?
How did Yuzu pirate code when the repo is a completely different programming language?
How was that “stolen” code even relevant when it was regarding GUI modifications?
Where is the evidence for any of this: “The dev provided the means in discord themselves, they also had a google drive with a ripped key, they also had files on discord of roms to test their gamesc which were acquired illegally.”
What about the prod.keys is illegal?
What does folding the company have to do with some implication of their actions being illegal when there’s plenty of alternate possibilities for why they want to shut down rather than fight Nintendo?

Or any number of other questions you never addressed?

Shit… I’ll add one more… What the fuck does Gary Bowser have to do with this thread at all? Yuzu != Gary and they’re not even doing remotely close to the same things.

Read your own link please.

Don’t ever talk again on the internet until you can actually recite the differences. You are acting like an LLC is a sole proprietorship. And you’re wholly wrong. Completely and utterly wrong.

There’s only 2 cases where you will personally be liable in an LLC…

1. Piercing the Corporate Veil, you treat the LLC as your personal sole proprietorship.
2. Tort Participation Theory.

#2 could in “theory” be applicable here. But luckily we already know that emulators are wholesale safe under the law. You should already know this since it’s been in response to your comments a few times now. DMCA clause 107. Since pulling your own keys off a device is categorically safe and even downloading the keys is safe… (Only distribution is prohibited by DMCA) Then Yuzu did nothing wrong. But since you completely missed these points I’m going to assume you didn’t even read your own damn source.

But I suppose you already know this shit and are just trolling at this point. Since you can’t answer a single question that anyone actually asks you. Even the most basic shit of “And what LLC was Gary bowser operating under?” BTW the next question after you answered that would have been “What were the charges that actually got him in trouble”. At that point you would have realized that it had nothing to do with LLC operations, emulation, or anything nearly close to this topic. Mod chips != emulation. Nothing close to emulating a console which is completely legal per Sony Computer Entertainment America v. Bleem!

Who the helm thinks a LLC protects them from everything…? The first term is literally LIMITED…… its not a full liability company lmfao.

Wow… What an incredible showing of intelligence. Note that both of the above items (piercing the corporate veil and Tort participation) that can ruin your LLC ALSO HAPPEN IN “full liability company” (doesn’t exist). What nonsense.

Edit: Also would like to point out the fact that you’ve still not answered ANY questions posed. You just throw out additional unrelated shit everytime someone shows you that you’re wrong. It’s tiring.

And what LLC was Gary bowser operating under?

And no. If your llc dies you don’t have to personally claim bankruptcy. You have now said several things that are completely and utterly false. Continuing this conversation with you will never be fruitful if your going to continue to lie about basic facts.

Why do you think LLCs exist if you have to personally file for bankruptcy?

You just handed them 800k for nothing.

They didn’t necessarily hand them anything. If I get sued like I explained in my previous post for my LLC…

I only have 30k in my company’s account at this point. I turn off the patreon… I walk away from the company. Nintendo would only get the 30k even though the judgement was for 2.4 billion.

And if you couldn’t plan and account for potential (very realistic) legal fees, you kinda don’t deserve to be in business. Use 5k a year to get yourself a lawyer and change your process so you aren’t illegal.

Ahahahah. Yeah you’re a moron. Thanks for confirming it. 5k a year wouldn’t even be close to the cost for a legal battle against Nintendo.

Edit: You edited your post. There’s PLENTY of reasons to walk away. You’re just being obtuse because of some “moral” dilemma you believe exists that doesn’t. If they were actively developing their software, and actively spending their money they’re donated via patreon/other income streams… They might only have like 10k in the bank (or less). And walking away makes a BOATLOAD of sense at that point. Pay a lawyer 200k+ for a multiyear lawsuit and maybe not win… or lose the application (open source… haha what a “loss”) and lose 10k… It’s a nonissue, it’s an OBVIOUS answer.

Some people will do it out of honor/integrity. Other’s don’t want the hassle. You’re reading into shit way too far. I completely understand why this project wants to fold under nintendo.

I own an LLC, my LLC brings in roughly 160-180k a year and I pay myself only about 80k a year. If a multi-billion dollar company tried to nail me for something that I can’t see the end of, I’d likely just fold the company and walk away to do something more worth my time.

Nothing about this is evidence that they are what you claim they are. You’re reading WAY too much into such an easy to explain decision.

For someone who apparently did nothing wrong, they rolled over hella fast

So Yuzu, at it’s peak. Was making 45k a month from patreon donations. That’s about 500k a year if that rate would sustain… In reality they were averaging 15-20k a month closer to 200k a year. Then a MASSIVE mega-corp hits you with legal action amounting to 2.4 billion or 12 YEARS of income… Do you put up a fight? How much of a fight can you put up as a small development team working on an emulator?

How many years do you fight the mega-corp with virtually unlimited money? How much does all those lawyers fees tally up to?

Of course they rolled over. EVEN IF THEY’RE RIGHT, it’s going to be years and years of lawyers. It’s going to be hundreds of thousands of dollars of money spent to defend this. Multiple years of wasted income.

If I was a billionaire and came to your house and made a claim to something under threat of burying you legally. What would your response be? How much could you resist before you have to settle and walk away from it? This happens literally ALL the time. Very few people win.

Yuzu is/was woefully unequipped to handle the situation. They “caved” so quickly because they knew they couldn’t win the fight regardless. They’d exhaust all their income and time. The project would get no further development anyway. So rather than handing over all their assets, money, time, and future income… They just handed over all their assets and current money and the devs can move on to other projects.

This is obvious and normal. You’re just obtuse.

You literally say they did shit wrong

No. I said the emulator was and is legal. You’re the one using “illegal” like you’re trying to pass the bar. Actions the Yuzu devs took show poor intent. The program itself was perfectly fine. Yuzu accepting donations isn’t illegal either by the way.

Don’t know. We’ll find out I suppose. I responded to a different comment of theirs. But I suspect they did.

Edit: They didn’t… So they’re just refusing to answer these particular points.

Nothing illegal was mentioned there on the emulation side. TOTK is a rom in this specific instance. A Rip of a cartridge, which considering how early it was obtained must have been ripped from a cartridge by somebody (probably on the distribution chain or even from someone inside Nintendo). The system keys didn’t change to support that ROM. They were dumb and advertised support for something that they shouldn’t even have which (probably) to Nintendo proves piracy by the devs as they shouldn’t have been able to obtain the rom.

Nothing about this is how YUZU itself operates as a program. It’s not an illegal emulator and you need to stop spouting this nonsense.
