I have no idea, but that website is a bit of a red flag to me.

It sounds like it's some sort of file sharing service. So you can upload, share and download files from the RealDebrid servers.
A quick Google suggests it's primarily used for downloading/streaming movies, TV series etc. Essentially piracy.

And it CAN fix all your problems. But that doesn't mean you don't have to fix the problems yourself.
Which is often more than I can deal with. Thankfully - so far at least - all my problems are problems other people have encountered and have documented (and - in many cases - contributed to various projects to get the fix to more people)

Chisel, Rathole, an SSH tunnel with port forwarding, a VPN with port forwarding.
Keywords are "self hosted tunnel" or "reverse proxy over VPN".

Run a VPS for like $5 a month, your local reverse-proxy tunnels out to the VPS, and your VPS forwards port 80/443 over the tunnel to your reverse-proxy.

Pretty much, yes.
Developers for the older consoles employed all sorts of hacks and used all sorts of undocumented features.
Emulators of N64 would develop the emulator for something like 80% of the features of 80% of the games, then put in specific workarounds for the oddities of each game.
Which is why some games are better on specific emulators.

Also, decompilation lead to a greater understanding of the various glitches. DK64 and Mario 64 speedruns benefitted massively from this.
And also fun hack/mods like randomisers and hardcore modes, massively extending the games playability.

But yeh, the things devs did back in the day is bonkers

Damn experts, what do they know?

I'd be careful with that if you don't properly notify them first.
They might decide to make your life hell by demanding the car back after you've given it away.

I really enjoy those "tech bros reinvent..." memes

A LiveUSB that has memory checking, storage checking, gpu checking along with stress testing of these would be amazing.
Building a new PC? Slap in the liveUSB, check all the components then stress test soak it to confirm its all good
