Just when I start seriously getting into homelabbing
I had a simple proxmox/k8s cluster going, and fitting RAM for nodes was the last on my list. It was cheapo ol' DDR4.
Where I live price for my little cluster project gone up from around ~400 usd in july (for 5 node setup) to almost 2000 usd right now. I just refreshed page and it's up by 20% day-to-day. Welp. I guess they are going to stay with 8gb sticks for a while.
Now you can pretend you're an enterprise IT environment with arbitrary and ridiculous purchasing constraints!
But for real, that sucks. The alternatives -- much older, used RAM -- may not be very attractive, depending on what you're doing.
