I am proud to say that I finally decided to be brave and use a pen to complete my puzzles. I got majority of them incorrect.
The SE rating system is based on a list of Sudoku techniques that have been ranked (somewhat subjectively) by how difficult they are to spot and apply. A computer solver uses that list and repeatedly applies the easiest available move from the list to the puzzle until it is solved. The difficulty of the hardest individual step un that path then determines the difficulty of the complete puzzle. Here is the list in question: https://github.com/SudokuMonster/SukakuExplainer/wiki/Difficulty-Ratings-in-Sukaku-Explainer-v1.17.8

How can I host a perl based website on a vps?
The most complex function is handling the hint generation. Because I'm not smart enough to code the hint generation myself, the hard work is done using a Java tool called Sukaku Explainer which I use to generate one complete solution path for the whole puzzle in HTML. My Perl functions feed a queue of requests into a single instance of the Java program (my 1GB VPS couldn't handle more than one). The HTML is then munged into JSON like this for consumption by the frontend. The JSON is also saved to a file, so that if two people ask for hints for the same puzzle Nginx can directly return the contents of that file - that way the function only gets called if the file does not already exist.

This diabolical puzzle was the daily on the Sudoku app today
Sudoku/Sukaku Explainer Rating, it's the second very established difficulty metric for Sudoku puzzles. It ranges from 1.0 (only Singles) to 12.7 (“Dynamic Forcing Chains(+Dynamic Forcing Chains) in Pencilmark Sudoku”).

Sudoku Techniques listed by frequency…
If you always find out that the next step that you didn't spot is a WXYZ-Wing, that most likely means that you know all the techniques the computer solver uses for the difficulty level you currently use, except for WXYZ-Wings. I was at this exact point for quite some time (my subreddit flair references that struggle), and I took it as a challenge to get good at ALS-XZ-based techniques. The underlying reason was just the ordering of techniques used for SE rating (used in SudokuExchange.com for grading puzzles) though, not some truth inherent to Sudoku in general.

Are there apps more difficult than others?
There are extreme differences between different apps. To compare difficulty, I will use the (well established) SE rating system as described here. It rates the hardest single step a sophisticated computer needed in order to solve a puzzle on a scale from 1.0 (easiest, only one empty cell left in a row/column/box) to 12.7 (basically impossible for humans, crazy chains within chains). The “Hard” puzzle of the New York Times is typically rated between 3.0 and 3.4.

Sudoku Explainer download?
Sukaku Explainer is a straight extension of the original Sudoku Explainer that also supports Sukaku (Pencilmark) puzzles. The JAR file from the “Releases” page can be started directly if you have Java installed.

What is everyone's favorite app?
SudokuExchange.com is always worth considering. It has all the advantages you mention about Sven's Sudoku Pad, plus a large collections of puzzles from trivial to brutally hard. The difficulty ratings and hints are delegated to Sukaku Explainer, which is a very mature and highl-quality solver. Some not-so-obvious features:

I am stuck! What technique can I use?
Wow, this is a very tough puzzle, especially for the “Expert” category. Which app is this from? The computer solver Sukaku Explainer needs multiple Forcing Chains and ALS-Wings to solve it and rates the hardest step 7.2 SE (out of 13). A normal “Expert” puzzle is not expected to require any technique above 5.5, and most never touch 4.5: https://github.com/SudokuMonster/SukakuExplainer/wiki/Difficulty-Ratings-in-Sukaku-Explainer-v1.17.8

Thought I was making the final moves, then I got stuck. Some advice would be apreciated !
If you want to avoid all Wings and harder techniques, you can hover over the yellow line under each puzzle on SudokuExchange.com to see its SE Rating. Everything below 4.0 (around the middle of the “Hard” section) is guaranteed not to require any Wings.

- How do I put nap files bigger than 4gb in the SD card?
-
Hey everyone I was wondering if I can get some help.
Only thing going on the SD card is Atmosphere and Hekate take the content out of the folders and drop it onto the root of the SD card. Tegra RCM GUI is a Windows app, won't work with Linux, it just injects a payload that's needed to boot the system if it's shut off, can use this app with Linux https://github.com/developersu/ns-usbloader

Reliable methods for downloading large xci files onto my switch (ChromeOS)

TOTK Crashing (corrupted data) pls help :(
I know most people here swear by DBI but I have never had it work for me. I used awoo https://github.com/Huntereb/Awoo-Installer on my switch and nsusbloader https://github.com/developersu/ns-usbloader on my PC and they have worked flawlessly for installing all my backups from my computer's HDD. If DBI is giving you trouble maybe try a different installer?

Do people not know about the USB features while Tinfoil is open?
ns-usbloader is your friend. https://github.com/developersu/ns-usbloader/releases/tag/v7.0 Works with all OS

Can’t get TOTK working on firmware 16
Update: Am now using the Awoo method to install wirelessly with NS-loader on PC and its progressing the install well over 40 percent so far. Maybe the problem was with DBI being on applet mode? I cant remember if that was my mistake earlier. I'll let you know if that XCI ended up legit or not.

Tears of the Kingdom 30fps & 60fps Patch
That's kind of a broad question. Is the switch already modified and on a recent firmware version? Updating both the software you use for the hacked Switch (like Atmosphere) and updating your firmware are the first things that need to be done. Then it's a matter of installing the game in a way that works for you. Personally I used this Switch app called Awoo combined with NS-USBloader on my PC to easily transfer and install the game over my home connection since I couldn't copy a file that large onto my microSD.
