Pretty sure you can do much better than that now (plus or minus tariff insanity) -- quick check on Amazon, NewEgg, etc. suggests ballpark of $5K for 1TB RAM (Registered DDR4) + probably compatible motherboard + CPU.

You can get motherboards with enough slots if you're willing to pay enterprise prices for them. I have a system with 1TB of RAM at work that I use as a fast data cache. I just mount tmpfs on it, write hundreds of gigs of data into it (overwriting it all every few hours), and it works great. Cost was somewhere in the $10~15K (US) range a few years ago, IIRC. Steep for an individual, sure, but not crazy for an organization.

There's also cgroups and Linux namespaces -- probably most popularly interacted with via Docker currently.

Looking through the list of sellers, I don't think they're going to collect much, if any, of that...

What they mean is you can just do something like mount -t tmpfs -o size=1G tmpfs /mnt/ramdisk to get a file system using regular RAM already.

I have some interest in trying to take that on if it's really unmaintained now. I use mlmym and want to make sure we continue to have an interface that works w/o JS. I have relevant web programming experience, but not with Go specifically.

@[email protected] FYI, if you're still here.

Seems to be working fine for me.

There's a lot of overlap, but the other is a bit more general purpose (not just new communities). I joined both to help with community discovery.

There's more-or-less already an active community for that: [email protected]

From their description:

Promote your favourite communities here, or ask about a community you are looking for

A post titled like "Is there a community for TOPIC?" with text in the body indicating you're interested in making one if not would likely do well there.

What was the most ridiculous or funny boundary push you saw?

Trolling someone by attaching a camera to the ceiling right above their keyboard. I've been paranoid since I saw that stunt pulled... They got their point across about physical security though.

The ones that don't induce a groan are dud jokes.

I'm willing to get creative, but I'm out of ideas

Thinking outside the box, computers don't have to go in cases...

If you still want a case and can't find an existing one that fits your needs you could try to make your own. Know anyone with a 3D printer or shop skills?
