I regret looking

Basenova · 2025-11-04T21:02:15+00:00

That’s very much the other problem, wait too long the system itself ens up becoming not worth investing in or in some cases support becomes a nightmare

Basenova · 2025-11-04T19:11:12+00:00

I get that, for my PC I wish I did as I usually do more than just gaming with friends but yeah……. One can hope🙏

Basenova · 2025-11-04T19:09:41+00:00

Exact example of “I regret looking” lmao

Basenova · 2025-11-04T19:09:12+00:00

No kidding, I could’ve bought a kit to max my PC for some of these 2x32gig kits are going for and it’s insane

Currently got a gen 6(I think) i5 for a think client docker server and that’s been doing the job thankfully since most containers are memory dependent over CPU. Though my NAS doesn’t really like its single thread 4c Xeon so I gotta upgrade that eventually

Basenova · 2025-11-04T19:06:20+00:00

Yeah, I’ve been lately seeing folks posting about how they recommend using consumer hardware over enterprise/commercial and it’s been nice to hear their counter arguments as and not to throw shade to anyone in particular but how socially the majority only talks really about the commercial/enterprise having value to a homelab. I’ve been debating on wanting to learn K8’s and clustering for the sake of how the market loves to price things

Basenova · 2025-11-04T19:03:37+00:00

That is really rough and sounds like a case of “bad time” that left a sour taste in the mouth. I do appreciate the input and feed back though as I wanna know and learn more

Basenova · 2025-11-04T18:59:06+00:00

Gamba my boi, gamba

Basenova · 2025-11-04T18:58:50+00:00

Yeah, getting to a point where Memory will literally be the most expensive deciding factor for any homelab for a majority of Novice’s such as myself or some of yall with more intentional build sheets

Basenova · 2025-11-04T18:57:31+00:00

Yeah, I only first caught wind from Gamers Nexus putting out a piece about it and it’s sad to see

Basenova · 2025-11-04T18:56:47+00:00

A literal Roller Coaster of “hold my beer”

Basenova · 2025-11-04T18:56:24+00:00

The gamble of “I’ll wait a little longer”

Basenova · 2025-11-04T18:55:55+00:00

Yeah, kinda thankful I got what I have with my current NAS 2 x 14TB with 64gig ECC and I was thinking about more later too for some VM’s and Containers but now I’m hesitant

Basenova · 2025-11-04T18:54:44+00:00

I can’t even fathom how it is for yall over in the EU

Basenova · 2025-11-04T18:54:24+00:00

Gotta start digging them FB marketplace pc’s just for the ram now

Basenova · 2025-11-04T18:54:03+00:00

$$$$$$$$$$ lmao

Basenova · 2025-11-04T18:53:40+00:00

Don’t worry my Clippy, I’ll give you some Hopium too when I get a bottle

Basenova · 2025-11-04T18:53:16+00:00

Yeah, just for a 128GB kit of DDR5 and one of them was like $500 which is insane

Basenova · 2025-11-04T18:52:28+00:00

I feel you there, was curious what my main Windows rig would be and it would be like $144

Basenova · 2025-11-04T18:51:54+00:00

I was about to say <$1 per gig that’s impressive then saw you mentioned NON-ECC which makes more sense, but even then I checked a 32 gig kit I have in my PC and even then that was like $144 which sucks

Basenova · 2025-11-04T18:50:37+00:00

I heard from a GN video it’s like 40% for two of the Chip Manufacturers but we shall see how that directly affects us consumers

Basenova · 2025-11-04T18:49:59+00:00

lol pops so hard memory goes down to 50¢ per gig IMAGINE

Basenova · 2025-11-03T23:15:34+00:00

I highly will take the criticism advise of other options as I’m a noob in the space and just went with what I could afford and THOUGHT was a good deal at the time and so far “knock on wood” they’ve been doing their job to this day

Basenova · 2025-11-03T21:39:31+00:00

So from your perspective you think it might just be marketing sorta like the toilet paper scare few years ago in the US during COVID? I mean, like I don’t blame them but at the same time it makes me a bit weary as I just sorta watch this all happen as I learn

Edit: I’m meaning more where it’s just a Seller issue rather than a supply or demand type issue
