Why so secretive of your ram?

[–] StephenTallentyre 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Okay, fine. I have 192 GB of RAM.

[–] SkyezOpen 24 points 2 months ago

You could handle at least 5 chrome tabs with that.

[–] KrankyKong 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh wowwww. Look at mr/mrs bigshot over here with 192 GB of ram.

[–] StephenTallentyre 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The machine I had before this had 4 GB, lol. That's why I put so much of the budget into RAM when I built this one.

I mean, you can never have too much ram.

But if you don't use it in its entirety, it is kind of useless.

[–] AnUnusualRelic 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's the system's job. It can cache stuff or whatever.

192GB is way to big to be used as a cache

However, you probably could run some of the huge language models

[–] AnUnusualRelic 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You're underestimating the cache.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

You are underestimating writebacks. You won't use that much on a normal filesystem and with ZFS you will only use that with bigger amounts of data
