holy crap tell me about it.

The server this Lemmy instance is on was bought in August 2024 with 512G ram. I bought another 8x 64G in April 2025 for £610. That is ~£75 a stick of 64G server ram.

I just bought another server to go along side this and was originally planning to buy the same RAM again. It is now £500 per stick. So I've had to instead donate the extra RAM I bought last year to the new ram-less server.

So that's £75 -> £500. Absolutely ridiculous. Would have cost me £8000 in RAM when the rest of the server was ~£2k.
