The goal of Computer Science is to build something that will last at least until we've finished building it.

I'm really regretting not just maxing out my homelab with RAM when it was all reasonable.

It's kind of pissing me off actually. I'm finally to the point where the 32GB I have in my desktop isn't sufficient for what I'm doing on it anymore, and I don't want to spend the entire price of a new mini PC to get it to 64GB.
So I have to grit my teeth through swapping and frequent reboots.
Fuck the AI billionaire bros.

Out of morbid curiosity, what are you doing that takes up all your ram? I'm at 32gb and find that only under rare circumstances do I even need the 16gb. I only bought the 32gb to future proof, as the mobo itself can handle 128gb.

VM workloads. Specifically, I've decided I'm done letting Microsoft destroy my windows install that I need for things, so I have virtualized it and am passing through the GPU, audio device, and a USB hub into the VM using virtualized IO.
They release some hum-dinger of a patch that screws Windows up, and I restore my automatic snapshot and block the patch from installing.
There's extra memory overhead of running Debian and the IOMMU setup. And Windows is a fucking hog. And I use a second GPU on a display that stays with the Debian "bare metal" install.
I have to reboot the Windows VM at least once a week because it memory leaks itself into oblivion and won't wake up until I use the hypervisor to reset the VM.
