are price hikes of computers/consoles really due to ai?
preview
Mrwhoistheboss says that margin rose from 30 to 80% for memory companies and that the playstation price may increase from 400 to 1000. Does that really add up?

Yes, it’s good that there is a solution to the problem

It depends on your threat profile. I’m fine with that data being public on matrix - which I use for communities.
The less data is known, the better

It’s news from 2023. It’s nice to see a formal paper covering it. It lacks a comparison to other apps to judge about it. Is it good compared to other servers that only that information is in plain text or is whatsapp better than matrix in that regard?
And does it actually matter? What is important to encrypt?
It’s strange that the server shares the IP to other servers. That’s not really useful for another server.
This research presents the first comprehensive forensic examination of Matrix’s server-side artifacts, specifically focusing on the Synapse Homeserver implementation across 175 database tables and structured log entries.
Although much research has explored encrypted messaging apps like Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage, little attention has been paid to the Matrix protocol and its self-deployable server application, Synapse.

Git is not stupid. It’s common. With markdown of course.
The teacher just wants to see proof that he wrote it himself and not an ai

on Open-source Licensing 101 - alavi.me in c/foss@beehaw.org · 9 Aug 2026
I use and support FOSS and gpl but this “guide” is poorly written. Use better wording. There are valid reasons to go for MIT.
The MIT is a very common and lax license today. It is one of the most common licenses for open source projects. Such licenses make exploitation of volunteers by big corporations as easy as taking candy from a child, so they can takeover the FOSS scene and make users pay the price for things that otherwise could be free (both in price and in freedom). That’s why all big corporations heavily push permissive licenses.
If you value freedom of software, don’t just use the MIT or other lax licenses, unless you have a good reason to do so.

I was too untilI switched to opensuse aeon and default is vim instead of nano. I just switched. I don’t care. Both are not perfect - i won’ create yet another fork just because i want to do it differently. I don’t get why vim has so few shortcuts.
