A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
I'd be in trouble, since between ZFS and my various VMs, my system idles at ~170 GB RAM used. With only 32 I'd have to shut basically everything down.
My previous system had 64 GB, and while it wasn't great, I got by. Then one of the motherboard slots died and dropped me to 48 GB, which seriously hurt. That's when I decided to rebuild and went to 256.
NERD!
seriously, nice rig phat stats
Not even use 8GB of it.
Well, I don't think I need that much RAM, but it's a funny joke, modern browsers consume an insane amount of RAM.
not gemini(protocol) .
not lynx .
I've heard of Lynx, but it's all very strange to me. Can Lynx play videos, view images, etc?
I went with 64GB on my most recent build... partially because it will eventually be retired to be a server, partially because last time i did a new build with brand new RAM, RAM prices skyrocketed (tsunami hit Taiwan IIRC, but still) immediately afterwards
Run our of RAM, apparently.
A few containers, a bunch of IDE windows with large work spqces and a dozen or two browser tabs add up. At least I can follow my "workflow" of doing three things at more or less the same as time
Is it Chrome or is it the web page
Maybe it’s Maybelline
Buy 32 more and lollygag on actually installing it, if my recent actions have proven anything.
can't be turnin off the computer all willynillly now so that checks out 👍
32GB of RAM with zram configured aggressively and I still get close at times to running out of ram. 2 more years and I'll probably need to upgrade to 128GB
Remember that free RAM is wasted RAM that you already paid for. As a result, modern browsers will behave differently in a RAM-rich vs. RAM-lean environment. If there’s wasted space lying around the browser will just hold on to everything on the off chance that it’s needed again, but will more aggressively purge things if you start running out of RAM.
Keep in mind that when I say “the browser” I also mean Spotify and Discord because those are Electron apps which means they are actually just Chrome tabs in a trench coat.
Why do you need so much RAM, for browsing, gaming, or is it your operating system that uses so much?
Browsing and gaming. Discord and Spotify are always open and I've noticed almost every update they use another 30-40MB. Not much but discord literally went from using 150ish MB to 400-500MB on first start up. After a couple hours of being open it'll use up to 2GB of RAM. Software is getting worse and worse with memory management and games are getting ridiculous too
Cry that one of my RAM sticks failed.
I'd read Lemmy posts about what I'd do if I had 32GM of RAM.
