I like self hosting so I set up my swap space on multiple floppy drives. All I have to do is swap disks when my machine requests.
ActionRetro is that you?
Dude ran a webserver on raid 0 array of floppy disks.
link to the video, for anyone curious :)
and a link to the follow-up video as well!:
That’s awesome lol. I think i remember watching a bunch of HaikuOS videos on his channel a few months ago. Looks like he makes some great content.
So that’s what the name “swap” refers to

Didn’t there use to be an unlimited tier?

And they are also using 1% of the petabyte, it’s 10,000 GB, i wonder what are they doing lmao
No, it shows they are using 471GB and df command rounds up to 1% when you are using more than 0, which is more accurate that showing 0% imo.
My bad, didn’t read that
They’re doing whatever the fuck they want lol
they have three tabs open in chrome
This is whatever the opposite of edge-compute is.
Middle computing at its finest
200ms lag for ram sounds like an exercise in patience that I will not succeed at.
This seems like it would create a lot of unnecessary latency and dependency on big tech. He should set up a home server and host his own ram.
That seems like a really cool idea. I hope someone makes an operating system for home servers, or servers in general for just that.
Tho, I feel like it would be kinda niche for anything else unless the popular things get so bad that people who research find about it and try to use it for daily drivers.
It would take a really long while for it to get adopted en masse, but would be a cool project idea.
I’ll write that down, thanks! :D
I self host all my RAM using minIO (RIP) and I back it up to b2. It’s a great way to gedoogle.
Backing up ram sounds like a terrible idea.
If your ram sever crashes you might lose all your critical memory. Better to have Google host and maintain it.
Yah Linus did a video on it and it didn’t go well in fact the PC crashed
L100 cache
Sometimes from Somewhere Access Memory
Lgoogol cache?
Dont give them ideas… I can already see it, RAAS - “Ram as a service”
50€ per GB
Only 499$ / year
600499 one time deal*GB not included.
That trash island is overrated anyway
Still cheaper than buying two sticks of RAM today
Just bought 2 sticks for 469€ (32GB DDR5). Price might still go up, maybe 499 per year would have been the better choice, we’ll see in a year I guess.
apt install zram-tools
There’s a gdrive frontend for Linux?
There is a fuse driver to directly mount it using the google API…
Sic! Thanks!
Rclone supports most cloud storage, including gdrive. Probably not what was used here, but it’s super useful
What gem! Thanks for letting me know!
if you use gnome & nautilus, you can access googlw drive directly inside nautilus.
He knows the deep magic.
Long has prophecy foretold of the one who will download more ram.
We laughed. We poor nonbelievers.
Now he will change the world.
