This is a gruelling summary of all the things wrong with OpenSSL

HAProxy Technologies

The State of SSL Stacks

The SSL landscape has shifted dramatically. In this paper, we examine OpenSSL 3.x, BoringSSL, LibreSSL, WolfSSL, and AWS-LC with HAProxy.

I've mostly watched this whole thing from the sidelines, but was also affected noting that private key parsing suddenly became 70 times slower. I think they've now improved it to "only" be 10-20 times slower, and there does not seem any effort to work on it any more.

Is there a way to configure the Linux kernel or a tool that puts a laptop into a "no-fan" mode? Like, if it gets too hot, reduce the CPU frequency. It's definitely possible to run my laptop without the CPU fan, by reducing the cpufreq scaling_max_freq enough for all cores. But what I'd want is "you're allowed to go to whatever freq you still can do safely without running the fan, but auto-reduce if it gets too hot, never use the fan".
