Downloading it is the first challenge. Then once its downloaded, you have to go spelunking through the files. They don't exactly include a readme full of all of the changes

True true. At least not until it's officially out...I think, dunno if Nintendo has the habit of doing that. Well here's to hoping someone finds out soon, just so we are all prepared for it
There will most likely be another thread that details such changes since the purpose of this one is to alert users to not jump the gun when a system update is ready all of a sudden. However, I'll continue doing my best to keep this thread informed on whatever changes there are in the present situation.
Firmware 6.0 is now floating around in the usual place. Most people know where to look already but remember, do not install it.
so far ```6.0.0
~~~~~~
-New keyblob/master key
-New sysmodule, "olsc" (OnLine Save Cloud?), which handles online save cloud backup shit.
-Lots of new telemetry + error report fields (including stuff that seems to be aimed at logging CDN connection errors/CDN connection redirection, possibly specifically to detect pegaswitch usage)
-TZ got support for using keyslots 4/5 from userland, and a new type of titlekey was added for "elicenses"
-Generally, a huge es overhaul to add subscription support for online services.
-TZ adds a bunch of heavy deja vu mitigations
-Support for switch online -- huge online services code re-work
-Kernel was refactored in a big way.
-4 Toad Icons
-Probably lots of other stuff.

I have insider info, from my highschool classmate's friend's uncle's brother-in-law who works at Nintendo, and I got a 100% REAL copy of that readme.
Here it is, leaked exclusively on GBATemp:
- General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience
well duh,but what worries me is what mike may hav said about the kernel being refactored in a big way wonder what he ment?

they got Hekate for 6.0 online but they report homebrew loads slower also Peggle switch hax can lead to a ban probably now
yeah i feel ninty is there backward ass logic? (please don't edit this I'm just in a goofy mood tonight)
EULA. It's their service - you don't have a right to use it however you want just because you bought a Switch.
If I have a console, I wish to use it to the best of it's ability, whether or not that is homebrew or running linux and I'm sure that debate has been made somewhere beforehand...
But yes, it is the EULA, you are right there

6.0 is not yet out. Only on the CDN
If you try updating it will still go to 5.1
Not to mention things are still getting worked on for 6.0 so alot of stuff probably won't even work yet anyway

I finally modeled and 3d printed the new HDD cages I need in order to build my 2nd NAS. Original ones don't fit the mounting holes on the hdds I'm using. Been sitting on this project for over 2 years smfh

Also another 70TB going in the front mount drive bays of this server. 182tb raw, going to probably use a zfs RAID-Z3 for 3 parity disks, so 140TB usable

Sicklyboy:
I could claw back 14tb by only doing 2 parity disks but I feel like with 13 disks in the RAID I'd be kind of pushing my luck on rebuild time if I encounter a disk failure
