Description

Usernames should be redacted in log files.

Reason

This is a simple QoL feature that does nothing but protect the privacy of contributors.

Examples

[Loader] <Info> emulator.cpp:LoadSystemModules:310: Loading C:/Users/johndoe/Desktop/shadPS4/user/sys_modules/libSceRtc.sprx
[Loader] <Info> emulator.cpp:LoadSystemModules:310: Loading /Users/johndoe/Desktop/shadPS4/user/sys_modules/libSceRtc.sprx
[Loader] <Info> emulator.cpp:LoadSystemModules:310: Loading /home/johndoe/Desktop/shadPS4/user/sys_modules/libSceRtc.sprx

would turn into:

[Loader] <Info> emulator.cpp:LoadSystemModules:310: Loading C:/Users/[redacted]/Desktop/shadPS4/user/sys_modules/libSceRtc.sprx
[Loader] <Info> emulator.cpp:LoadSystemModules:310: Loading /Users/[redacted]/Desktop/shadPS4/user/sys_modules/libSceRtc.sprx
[Loader] <Info> emulator.cpp:LoadSystemModules:310: Loading /home/[redacted]/Desktop/shadPS4/user/sys_modules/libSceRtc.sprx
