I'm trying to update my 3DS setups and I have a question. I had boot9strap installed for the longest time, but I'm seeing homebrew like GodMode9 recommending fastboot3DS as well as openAGB firm. Then I looked at the last time Fastboot3DS was updated vs boot9strap and fastboot hasn't been updated since 2019 vs boot9strap being updated last in mid 2022? Should I switch back to B9S?
Should I be using boot9strap or fastboot3DS

Recent releases of B9S have focused on stripping it down and improving boot times. Fasboot3DS is still more full featured, and if you want to use oepn_agb_firm is still the way to go. The lack of updates is really due to Fasboot3DS being "complete". Unless someone wants to add features, or create a fork without boot / otp dumping and backup functionality so it boots faster (similar to what B9S 1.4 did), I would guess that Fasboot3DS is just done.

If you just want to boot directly into Luma3DS and use Luma3DS's bootloader, B9S
If you want full features and other interesting bits, like being able to boot different homebrew, Fasboot3DS

What does that mean? I've already dumped my bootroms. Does it matter if they are restricted?

Some guide needed Bootrom access, don't remember which, think it's some threeSD thing
As someone who spends way too much time ruining my 3DS, I’ve never run into a situation where my bootrom has ever been needed. That said, I am not sure what your issue is, you can dump your bootrom with fastboot3ds. Still, this issue is so obscure that I can’t imagine the average user ever running into any problems

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
