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 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.

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.

If your ram sever crashes you might lose all your critical memory. Better to have Google host and maintain it.

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.

Yah Linus did a video on it and it didn't go well in fact the PC crashed

Dont give them ideas... I can already see it, RAAS - "Ram as a service"

50€ per GB
Loce@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 230d
Only 499$ / year
Sarcasmo220@lemmy.ml · 16 pts · 230d
Still cheaper than buying two sticks of RAM today
InFerNo@lemmy.ml · 7 pts · 230d
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.

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.

This is whatever the opposite of edge-compute is.

And they are also using 1% of the petabyte, it's 10,000 GB, i wonder what are they doing lmao
lauha@lemmy.world · 45 pts · 231d
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
_NetNomad@fedia.io · 7 pts · 230d

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.

There's a gdrive frontend for Linux?
Ooops@feddit.org · 29 pts · 231d
There is a fuse driver to directly mount it using the google API...

Rclone supports most cloud storage, including gdrive. Probably not what was used here, but it's super useful

What a gem! Thanks for letting me know!

if you use gnome & nautilus, you can access googlw drive directly inside nautilus.
