I built a similar system, meanwhile I've sold one of the RTX 3090's. Local inference is fun and feels liberating, but it's also slow, and once I was used to the immense power of the giant hosted models, the fun quickly disappeared.

I have more issues with self control on my computer than on my smartphone. Anyone's got any tips for that one?

Google is a corporation maximizing shareholder value. That this goal is not aligned with serving the greater good and freedom should come as no surprise.

Out of curiosity, rustls uses aws-lc-rs which in turn uses aws-lc, which is in turn "based on code from the Google BoringSSL project and the OpenSSL project."

You're trying to get rid of OpenSSL, but you're actually relying on OpenSSL code. Sounds a bit iffy imo. Can somebody provide a bit more depth here?

Or is it just the OpenSSL TLS API that is hopelessly confusing and bug inducing? I can imagine that the crypto primitives in OpenSSL are very solid.

An unmissable browser plugin is “clickbait remover for youtube” (or whatever it is called), it replaces the video preview image by a still taken from somewhere else in the video.

So the US has been, more or less, the best place in the world to do business. Stocks historically soaring, yadda yadda yadda ... and somehow this guy sells the story that the US has been taking advantage of by all the other evil countries in the world. It does not, in any way, make sense. What a clown. A totalitorian clown unfortunately.
