Serious question, what does RAM help with in the context of self hosting? I recently bought 32G for my server, and it’s DDR3 ecc so it’s so cheap I could have afforded 64 but I just kept wondering what will I use it for? I rarely go north of 6G usage and that’s with half a dozen services, a Minecraft server etc… I just don’t know what kind of services are RAM hungry.
Yeah i specifically don’t do any AI workloads on my server, that would be stupid slow with my old ass hardware. But my buddy (who’s a bit impulsive with money) bought two Spark GX10s and we’re likely to get some fun out of them :)

Probably not a lot.
My system idles at 3gb.
But then I do AI stuff and it needs 15-80gb. And I do data analyses that can use a lot.
