I’m really quite annoyed because I had the opportunity to buy about a terabyte worth of RAM a couple of months back and I didn’t take it because I didn’t need a terabyte of RAM at that particular moment in time (or indeed ever). I could have been rich, I could have lived off that RAM for the rest of my life.
I have an R710 collecting dust in the basement. When it was alive, I used to have one VM for each service I used. While having multiple VMs is useful, containers has greatly reduced the amount of RAM I need.
Not even an exaggeration, I just dug out my old laptop that I bought in 2012 to check, 16Gb it’s got.

Same man. Got an old R730 with like 16 slots that I could fill to the brim, but I was like “nah it’s not like I need that much”.
Then I realized how much Linux caching was doing when I did fill it up with only a handful of contsiners and VMs.
