I once went for lower CAS timing 2x 128MB ram sticks (256 MB) instead of 2x 256s with slower speeds because I thought 512MB was insane overkill. Realized how wrong I was when trying to play Star Wars galaxies mmorpg when a lot of people were on the screen it started swapping to disk. Look up the specs for an IBM Aptiva, first computer my parents bought, and you’ll understand how 512MB can seem like a lot.

Now my current computer has 64 GB (most gaming computers go for 32GB) at the time I built it. My workstation at work has 128GB which really isn’t even enough for some workloads we have that use a lot of in-memory cache… And large servers can have multiple TB of RAM. My mind has been blown multiple times.

Why does “Why did you switch from*” have different options for each distro? Thought it was funny only NixOS had “toxic people” option. Guessing due to recent drama.

Wake me up when nixpkgs issues decline significantly from 5k+ due to AI.

Most of the survey was about AI it seemed.

Hmm, not sure. That’s what I was going to call it at first. I couldn’t find much either way, but I did find this which uses ephemeral to describe it. Perhaps I should rename it.
