I just use libretorrent most of the time for torrents on phone and aria for dl (it’s sort of a habit.)

I am on proton right now. I was looking into spn from portmaster, I will also check out gluetun then.

So do you use vms or sandboxie( I use classic and edited config manually by docs) to run bins?

You are using noscript then you probably don’t need jshelter. Just search creepjs github. Jshelter helps with fingerprinting and a bit of security. Everyone has UBO(I hope).

Aria does torrents too.

Which one(VPN)?

I am also working with a potato.

Mull has issues I use it with jshelther on default. For torrent aria2app or libretorrent works Share ratio only 3.

I had something similar in my mind. Snapdragon processor does’t have that great app support yet, so I am wary of buying it (and probably they’ll be selling around 500-600$ next year)

I am thinking of either Acer swift x(2021) or buying a used elitebook/thinkpad with a decent cpu and ram to run smaller models with llama.cpp on it and waiting for something like steam deck in my country for games.

GPUs (nvidia) that I need are so overpriced and I have so little time lately to mess around it will probably be cheaper to rent on linode or something. Thank you, it is nice to know others thoughts on my situation.

Thanks for good advice.

I hope you have a kill switch.

You know people rave about pixel and graphene os. I was just wondering what other such devices people use.

I hope you are doing well.

I walked into that one.

I am hypothetically asking what’s a good laptop in that game cause am looking to buy.

This reminds me of first time I saw a laptop being serviced the Asus one I mentioned. My brother opens it’s back for thermal pasting and cleaning fans hand me the back cover and I see it had turned black(just the area where copper tubes would have rested right above)

David had similar advice told me to just get an used elitebook or thinkpad. That does seem like the best option, thanks for the advice.

Yes it’s great but it doesn’t run things I would like and I find elitebooks just better than macs because touchscreens and it’s design.

Framework is interesting

• I hear they ditched coreboot
• I would have to pay king’s ransom to import it.
• it’s already very expensive.
• David and I go way back . It would be just cheaper to get repairs from him .

Yeah 13b models req 16 GB ram on my borrowed windows laptop too . I was planning on using llama.cpp which uses CPU instead of GPU for llms. On portable laptops I can’t really expect more than 6-8 GB vram(which might not be enough it will offload on ram and swap then which then makes it slower) in my budget and I need to bring it to college( so needs to be a bit portable and req a good battery life. I know in some laptops you can turn off dgpu, I don’t know how? is it something to do with a MUX switch. I have to look into that too.)

Thank you for your advice.

Thank you for the advice, I will.
