The Great Twitter Meltdown of 2021 - Emulator creator Byuu bullied to death by HateSpeech™ forum, Twitter takes up arms (Still No Death Report)

[Knight of the Rope]

Update: Byuu isn't dead.

Hey @WolfeTone can we get you to add this to the thread title/subtitle at this point?

 

[Shadow Man Dingo]

Any updates on the saga yet?

His alleged address and phone number (untested, I am not calling that fag) are updated on his thread. That address is Patrick's address and the phone number found was updated last year... allegedly. So yes... he isn't dead. Is it illegal to "fake your death"? Yes, but not the way he did it. As far as I am aware, no insurance claims, death certificates, etc. have been filed so chalk it up to typical troons faking their death to wash away their shitty actions online.

I remember Null saying that Byuu had some legal issues that resulted in needing to go radio silent, which led to everything happening, and I think I saw in passing that Byuu may have returned to the emulator scene. Any word on that before I look at the thread?

 

[Shadow Man Dingo]

I am sure he did, he has to pay for his Brazillian fake troon meds (not prescribed) somehow. However, I don't follow the emulator scene. Sounds like a good idea for profit.

1. be emulator bruh and need games
2. con people into giving you expensive retro games.
3. get called out for sketchy shit and commit fake troony sudoku and cry victim of a bully site.
4.
5. Profit?
6. Repeat.

I'm sure he can't stay away, but I don't think anyone found him yet. The account originally suspected of being him turned out to be a real person.

Alright, but I swear I saw someone here post about someone who “codes like Byuu” and really tries to avoid talking about their background or using the first person.

I think it was a reddit post or github updates that seemed a bit suspicious but that's probably a couple hundred pages back

Byuu's coding style is strange:

  auto find(uint address, uint compare) -> maybe<uint> {
    for(auto& code : codes) {
      if(code.address == address && (!code.compare || code.compare() == compare)) {
        return code.data;
      }
    }
    return nothing;
  }

I have never seen someone use trailing return types like you would for a lambda for normal functions in C++ before. If you are looking for Byuu's fingerprint on a suspected sock's GitHub repo I suggest you also check for his makefile syntax, project structure, and use of his libraries.
You may also want to compare the writing style of documentation, responses to issues and PRs, source file comments, and the README.

If all this shit happened because he wanted to avoid Nintendo lawyers...

Contribute code anonymously in the first place.

That's ridiculous, there is literally no way that he'd have been able to be an open shota fur or whatever without it being directly linked to their coding alias, next time maybe don't suggest that someone stay in the closet idiot

He did? His opsec has been incredible. He only got doxed after he pretended to kill himself.

Just as easy to attribute to nobody giving a shit. See also: his thread was dead. opsec through obscurity

I wish the state dept. would get their shit in order and update the list.

 

[Chatspiracy Theorist]

I wonder if a certain someone ddosed the overseas death registry and took the ability to update the page and they're just that incompetent to fix it

I'm still waiting for them to update it so we can make hector looks like a bigger fuckwit than he already is

 

[Nazrin]

if only a foreigner would commit suicide already, so they can update the frickin page! ....
Also, Byuu's website's SSL certificate expired.

 

[Kosher Dill]

Also, Byuu's website's SSL certificate expired.

This is going to be jangling his autism something fierce. His website is incorrectly configured!

Why the fuck did he even buy a certificate instead of using letsencrypt for his business card site?

The date to look for is when the domain expires. If it’s not on auto renewal with his registrar, who will buy it?

 

[Least Concern]

Using Let's Encrypt instead of a proper SSL registrar is like taking the bus everywhere instead of driving your own car, except the price difference is minute - proper SSL certs can be had for less than $15-20 a year.

If you're just setting up a toy project, or something that won't be around for very long, or you really are quite destitute, Let's Encrypt is fine. Otherwise just buy a real cert.

Dont make me defend spergs... Lets encrypt is trivial to automate, you lose at most a minute of HTTP server uptime, every 3 months. I cannot imagine many situations where that is unacceptable or expensive. With paid certs is more elaborate.

It will go for hundreds of $ because people will be F5 registrar sites that day. That provided it is not set for auto-renewal.
My bet is Marcan will put down the couple hundred $ to keep it away from Kiwifruit Agricultural Experts.

Then proceeds to just redirect it to a blank page effectively deleting all the contents of the website.
