Dont give them ideas… I can already see it, RAAS - “Ram as a service”
Already is if you’re running a cloud server.
200ms lag for ram sounds like an exercise in patience that I will not succeed at.
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.
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.
So that’s what the name “swap” refers to
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.
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.
Yah Linus did a video on it and it didn’t go well in fact the PC crashed
If your ram sever crashes you might lose all your critical memory. Better to have Google host and maintain it.
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
L100 cache
Lgoogol cache?
This is whatever the opposite of edge-compute is.
Middle computing at its finest
There’s a gdrive frontend for Linux?
There is a fuse driver to directly mount it using the google API…
Sic! Thanks!
You the real MVP
if you use gnome & nautilus, you can access googlw drive directly inside nautilus.
apt install zram-tools
