Can’t have too much, but you can have not enough.

I remember being asked what I needed 64 MB of RAM for. My answer, of course, being "because I can."

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 hours ago

My server has around 156GB RAM.

Do I use most of it? Nah.

Why then?

Cuz it was free from work and I wanted to hit the amount from Weird Al’s “it’s all about the Pentiums”

after years of dealing with emm386 trying to get ultima 7 to run on DOS, i always bought all the ram i could afford. fuck all that "you don't need that much" bullshit
