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.

    200ms lag for ram sounds like an exercise in patience that I will not succeed at.

    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.

    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

    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.
