PlayStation 3 root key found by geohot(iPhone hacker)
can be used to sign games to run on the ps3
from Wikipedia(summarized):
Sony removed the ability to install another operating system in the 3.21 firmware update. This event caused backlash among the hacker communities, and eventually the group Fail0verflow found a flaw in the generation of encryption keys which they leveraged to restore the ability to install Linux. George Hotz (Geohot) later created the first homebrew signed using the private "metldr" encryption key which he leaked onto the internet. The action of leaking the key led to Hotz being sued by Sony.
At the 2010 Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, a group calling itself fail0verflow announced it had succeeded in bypassing a number of the PlayStation 3's security measures, allowing unsigned code to run without a dongle. They also announced that it was possible to recover the Elliptic Curve DSA private key used by Sony to sign software. The release of this key would allow anyone to sign their code and therefore be able to run it on any PlayStation 3 console. This would also mean that no countermeasures could be taken by Sony without rendering old software useless, as there would be no distinction between official and homebrew software. On January 3, 2011, geohot published the aforementioned private key, represented in hexadecimal as C5 B2 BF A1 A4 13 DD 16 F2 6D 31 C0 F2 ED 47 20 DC FB 06 70, as well as a Hello world program for the PS3.

Get the DDmug. The fattest person on earth who is also into big, smelly feet with obnoxiously hairy toes and DIRTY toenails. He also loves girls with hairy armpits and when girls force burps down his throat. DD also has a scat fetish and enjoys eating women’s shit in his free time.

Get the DDmug. DD is the physical pleasure pounding of that monkey, laying that D down deep, making her arch her back, eyes rolling back into her skull as she runs from the dick. This is only done by experience DD practitioners.

Get the DDmug. Abbreviation for "Daredemo Daisuke", if you're weeb enough, you'd know this roughly translates to "It doesn't matter who it is, I love them".
The "Hell" part of this term refers to the situation of being stuck essentially trying to simp to several individuals only to find it very demanding as most of their money goes missing due to the endless mount of merchandise. Not to mention most events don't match up to a their schedule, forcing someone in DD Hell to choose who's the better option. When compared to someone who simps for just one or two people, the crater in their wallets and how well they slept should give a decent description on who's stuck in DD Hell.
A very good example is someone who finds themselves falling into the vtuber rabbit hole, vtubers are those anime girls playing a game. You saw at least once on your recommended yeah? They wind up watching an entire backlog of clips and streams and essentially get addicted to them, They basically have no preferences in each vtuber yet and try to watch all of them. This is where most begin, in DD Hell.

Dude! I just can't get enough of these vtubers! Soon my sleeping schedule's gonna be fucked along with my wallet!
Sucks for you then, guess you're stuck in DD Hell until you can figure out your own preferences.
