I hacked my day 1 Switch with a piece of literal tinfoil.

** Some boring skippable personal info
For some reason, while everyone doubled down on gaming extra during the COVID years, I stopped almost entirely. I used to play smash bros competitively as a kid, almost exclusively to any other game and when COVID happened I was no longer able to attend tournaments. This coupled with getting sick of the Nintendo Switch online service and I was no longer having fun playing. Additionally, many well known members of the community having been outed for sexual misconduct around this time and the ensuing aftermath was a further deterrent from ever wanting to return. Pretty much quit after that, and since I was not really into any other kinds of games I stopped gaming for a couple of years unless I was at a friend's place.

** @@html:<img src="/images/blog/reentry_racoon.png" width="10%" />@@Actual Switch hacks
I know that the switch modding scene has had the past 6-7 years to mature but I did not expect it to be this easy. Of course, I reccommend following a written guide that's constantly updated (such as the [[https://rentry.co/SwitchHackingIsEasy][rentry]] guide) to avoid bricking your device, but it really wasn't that complicated [[cite:Reentry]]. The basics of the hack are to short two pins in the right joycon rail and presing the + and power button to put the device in recovery mode (RCM), which I did using a literal peice of tinfoil, though there are RCM jig devices on amazon that are easier to use. Burned onto the Tegra bootROM on all early Switches has a buffer overflow vulnerability that allows hackers to slip by the bootloader signature check, allowing unsigned payloads to be pushed to the device [[cite:Fusee]].

<h1>Welcome</h1>
<p>Hello, my name is Jordan, I&rsquo;m a Computer Engineering student from Canada. I like all things FOSS, cybersecurity, server administration, selfhosting, thinkpads, and more. These past few years I&rsquo;ve been living and breathing Linux, from desktop, server, and embedded, with some knowledge of Windows (desktop and server) and Android. Most of my programming experience is in bash, Python, and C/C++. Familiar with Java, SQL, Go, and PHP.</p>
<p>This is my website, I sometimes write blogs and technical guides. It is a very minimal static site with html and css, but this way my site is fast, responsive, and to the point. I can say that everything here is created and owned by me, not just as a creative outlet, but so every facet of my online existance is under my control. I engage very little with social media. I value understanding and being able to control my technology, which fuels my passion to learn new things all the time.</p>
<p>When I&rsquo;m not in front of glowing rectangles made of polarized sheets and crystals, I like to swim, I&rsquo;m also taking part in my school&rsquo;s Brazillian Jiu Jitsu club. During COVID I stopped gaming entirely but more recently I&rsquo;ve given a shot attending my local SSBU tournaments.</p>

<p>The Emacs editor was designed in the 1980&rsquo;s in the era of old unix keyboards when the control key was next to the &ldquo;A&rdquo; key, a lot of functionality in Emacs was designed around CTRL keybindings. While there are hobbyist keyboards for that kind of layout, no real usable laptop these days would oblige without some serious changes. This has had the undesireable outcome of exasterbating repetitive strain injury (RSI) in some pretty famous programmers(<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_2">Lee 2022</a>).</p>
<p>Now I&rsquo;m regularly using evil mode to edit files with Emacs so it shouldn&rsquo;t be as big of an issue for someone like myself, however, I&rsquo;m not interesting in running the risk having RSI on my pinky by the time I&rsquo;m 50 because I used <code>C-x C-f</code> too many times. One solution would be switching to Doom or Spacemacs or otherwise changing my <code>init.el</code> file in emacs to use the control key much less. Many people use xmonad to change keyboard layouts as well. However, I feel like those solutions are a bit overkill, and I found a decent solution for my case without having to change very much about my system using xkb, which is how keyboard codes are handled in Xorg(<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_3">Unknown 2024</a>).</p>
