A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
I remember not long ago showing my linux desktop on reddit and everybody was going crazy because I was still using Firefox and Chrome is the browser to use nowdays and all that crap, I guess times have changed for the better, and yes I still use firefox
I started to use firefox back in 2007.
I have never changed back. If someday there's a better alternative I'd switch. But sure thing that chromium based browsers are not an alternative.
I have 32gb of ram.
I literally only upgraded so I could install more mods in minecraft and cities skylines 1.
Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had 32G of RAM I could hook that up, cause apps dig a dude with memory.
Well, not all apps.
Well the kind of apps that'd let me watch two chicks at the same time do.
Good point.
I'd be wondering where the hell my other 64GB went!
I have only 16 gb of RAM but I can open 20 tabs on Firefox!
Ditch Google trash. Go for alternatives. E.g., Firefox instead of Chrome.
May as well chop the "s" off "alternatives"
My mid-range gaming PC from 2019 had 16gb, and I was looking at some new pre-builts and saw many still only have 16. Is there just not much need for more, or what? It's cheap - I might double what I've got in DDR4 for $50.
If you're doing a new PC then I'd aim for 32GB.
16GB is enough, yes, but for how much longer? It's been the norm for awhile now, which means that soon it won't be enough.
I have 32gb and I always suggest others to get that much as a baseline theses days. I rarely ever use anywhere close to the full 32gb, but I am often times at or near 16gb in use. The main benefit of having 32gb is in my case I'll basically never be hitting the pagefile, but if you only had 16gb you'll probably rarely max out on ram usage, but you'll probably be hitting the pagefile more often.
With the proliferation of fast SSDs and NVME drives hitting the pagefile is considerably less impactful than it use to be with spinning disks, but it's still slower than RAM.
For gaming it is unlikely you will need more than 16, at least not any time soon.
Depends on the game and what you’re doing with it. Cities: Skylines with a bunch of mods really struggles without a load of RAM. Playing Vintage Story recently, I installed a bunch of mods. Had to uninstall about half to come in under 32GB utilization.
Beam.ng drive with 79 mods can use up to 20 to 28gb RAM. Even at 30 to 40 mods it'll pull 10 to 17gb RAM. A few programs open and a browser can eat 10 to 16gb. 16gb is the new standard. 32 should be the baseline though. 64 plus is overkill right now.
I have a VR headset. Going from 16GB to 64GB was a huge difference in most games
took me a few days but I fully switched to firefox. my computer finally runs the way it should.
I was really hesitant to switch to Firefox. It took a long time for me to finally leave the Mozilla suite and accept that Firefox was the one going forward.
It gets even better when you add:
And
Tab Stash lets me stash a big ridiculous research or shopping session I'd want to return to, under a nice collection label for later.
And Auto Tab Discard will essentially unload open tabs you haven't touched in a while, so they'll load from scratch when you "wake them up", but they're not hogging all your RAM. It's fantastic.
Upgrade to 64GB cause 32 is not enough for my adhd
Then upgrade from 64gb to 128gb because it’s still not enough for my adhd
I've actually been considering using 128gb recently. I'm only considering this as I'm thinking about turning a server of mine into my primary desktop and it has 128gb in it already because I was using a RAM disk to generate large files in memory. I'm now done with that project and it feels silly having this powerful PC sitting here doing nothing.
A single vote cannot convey my interest in this idea.
I “cheaped out” with 32 and regretted it, working with huge files in RAM.
I've recently really gotten into 3d printing, and I've bought the bullet and purchased a pretty nice 3D scanner (Crealty Raptor Pro).
There's no such thing as ~~too much~~ enough RAM for these scans.
getting into 3d art is a regret lowkey, I was fine with my specs before they felt op even
I was into vr too, I was like damn this laptops a beast now im constantly struggling
Not even use 8GB of it.
Chrome is such a pile of of shit.
Linux and FreeBSD systems? Happy and snappy.
Work Windows system filled with crap corp security software? Open electron apps and wait for them to load.
Personal Windows system? Master of Orion, the remake.
I went with 64GB on my most recent build... partially because it will eventually be retired to be a server, partially because last time i did a new build with brand new RAM, RAM prices skyrocketed (tsunami hit Taiwan IIRC, but still) immediately afterwards
Play some horribly unoptimized games, like the Oblivion Remaster that recommends having 32gb. Which is fucking insane.
Run our of RAM, apparently.
A few containers, a bunch of IDE windows with large work spqces and a dozen or two browser tabs add up. At least I can follow my "workflow" of doing three things at more or less the same as time
I'd be in trouble, since between ZFS and my various VMs, my system idles at ~170 GB RAM used. With only 32 I'd have to shut basically everything down.
My previous system had 64 GB, and while it wasn't great, I got by. Then one of the motherboard slots died and dropped me to 48 GB, which seriously hurt. That's when I decided to rebuild and went to 256.
Oh yay, lemmy is finally popular enough to have a nobody asked e-peen guy!
Well, I don't think I need that much RAM, but it's a funny joke, modern browsers consume an insane amount of RAM.
Buy 32 more and lollygag on actually installing it, if my recent actions have proven anything.
can't be turnin off the computer all willynillly now so that checks out 👍
Cry that one of my RAM sticks failed.
