This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not even an exaggeration, I just dug out my old laptop that I bought in 2012 to check, 16Gb it’s got.
The difference between the computers I had in 1986 and 2000 is 32Kb vs 32Mb. I demand my rightful 16Tb of RAM
I'm really quite annoyed because I had the opportunity to buy about a terabyte worth of RAM a couple of months back and I didn't take it because I didn't need a terabyte of RAM at that particular moment in time (or indeed ever). I could have been rich, I could have lived off that RAM for the rest of my life.
Same man. Got an old R730 with like 16 slots that I could fill to the brim, but I was like "nah it's not like I need that much".
Then I realized how much Linux caching was doing when I did fill it up with only a handful of contsiners and VMs.
I have an R710 collecting dust in the basement. When it was alive, I used to have one VM for each service I used. While having multiple VMs is useful, containers has greatly reduced the amount of RAM I need.
