What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?

  I apparently used all 64GB of my RAM in a video game when using cheats and it crashed my computer lol

  Run Minecraft and YouTube twice over.

  Figure once over is why I moved to 32, so twice over might need more.

  Same thing you can do with half a hole. Fix it to keep your mind from wandering.

  I have 16 GB of RAM and recently tried running local LLM models. Turns out my RAM is a bigger limiting factor than my GPU.

  And, yeah, docker’s always taking up 3-4 GB.

    Either you use your CPU and RAM, either your GPU and VRAM

      Fair, I didn’t realize that. My GPU is a 1060 6 GB so I won’t be running any significant LLMs on it. This PC is pretty old at this point.

    vram would help even more i think

  If you are on Linux and I guess windows but nor sure. You already use it for cache. So you can never have enough ram. As long as it’s the same speed of your existing ram or you will screw yourself in preformence.

    I’m on CachyOS. I made sure to enable DOCP and it’s rynning at 3600mhz

  I used it for virtual machines and Docker containers.

  • slazer2au@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    One docker container per VM just to maximise the ram usage.

      I unironically do this in proxmox. Keeps things nice and separate and i still have plenty ram left.

      I realise that you are making a joke, but here’s what I used it for:

      • Debian VM as my main desktop
      • Debian VN as my main Docker host
      • Windows VM for a historical application
      • Debian VM for signal processing
      • Debian VM for a CNC

      At times only the first two or three were running. I had dozens of purpose built VM directories for clients, different hardware emulation, version testing, video conferencing, immutable testing, data analysis, etc.

      My hardware failed in June last year. I didn’t lose any data, but the hardware has proven hard to replace. Mind you, it worked great for a decade, so, swings and roundabouts.

      I’m currently investigating, evaluating and costing running all of this in AWS. Whilst it’s technically feasible, I’m not yet convinced of actual suitability.

  Run the Adobe suite, crackled of course.

    I avoid Adobe like the plague these days. Besides, they don’t support my OS anyway.

      Pirated CS6 runs amazing using Wine. Or so I’m told.

  You never have to close a browser tab again. If a window is full just minimize it and start a new one!

    I just hit 230 on my phone.

      I’ve opened infinity on my phone if Firefox is to be trusted.

      Sadly I have more on my phone than my work computer by a wide margin. I have 8 focus’s, each with something like 60 tabs. They’re basically bookmarks at this point. The phone does such a great job of killing those processes that it really doesn’t matter.

      Mobile browser tabs are both too persistent in that they don’t get cleaned up when you close the browser, and too amnesiac in that they can kill a connection if they are placed in background for even for even a couple of seconds.

      Its the worst of both worlds.

    I hate having more than 5 open at a time. Apparently this is not normal.

      The way it was meant to be

      I do the same. Spare tabs are bad and drain data.

      Only 5?

      Or did you forget to type a zero or two?
