    Well yeah :)

    I did just see a video of someone running powerfox on a really bad G4 Mac playing YouTube fine, quite impressive.

    Some people here running their public site on 64mb RAM while I'm running my private home server on 128GB DDR4 RAM... :lol:

    Haha, well to be fair I have been spec'ing up a 1TB ram dual E5-2699v4 on eBay with a ton of spinners to have a local internet, software and repo cache and llm, because I think the internet as we know it is going in a very bad direction.

    Hahaha, let's fork internet. Replace bulky servers with lean 48 MB half core variants while we're at it.

    Mine is dual E5-2695v4 with 128GB DDR4 at 2400 Hz with a Chinese Machinist E-ATX motherboard. Got the cpu+ram+mobo combo at 500 SGD (about 400 USD?)

    I didn't go for 2699s due to the absurd price and high TDP. I mean my main use case is idling and using it on and off for home use...

    If it was still before the RAM price hike, I would go for 1TB for bragging rights, but can't afford it anymore... Don't really have a use case anyway.

    I bloody love containers (not docker) :( I was officially the words biggest OpenVZ hater for a while, then I realised the power of the dark side.

    Such a shame OpenVZ died.

    Since I always had issues with OpenVZ configs, i avoided it. However ever since I started using proxmox and it's LXC containers, I've been using it for most of my deployments, except for VMs that need to be isolated...

    As for docker, I am ashamed to admit that it is still the best way to distribute your program/app and be sure that it runs for everyone. I convert most of my script/programs/apps to docker and deploy them across my servers.
