@wolf480pl Totally, but I’m sure someone out there is working on it now that his is about to be a reality.

@colinsmatt11 That’s what I hope becomes the norm. I imagine it would feel zippy as heck.

@newt My guess would be with some smart usage you could still have some left over for normal operation.

@thatbrickster I heard that too. A response to the 3d amd cache I suspect. All I know is that CPU’s are exciting again.

@newt Yep I get that. What I am saying is that we are rapidly getting to the point where using on chip cache as your main memory is rapidly approaching.This raises some interesting ideas where you literally have enough cache to run the OS and all your user space applications in cache, and then treat actual RAM as swap.This of course requires a huge change to the way things actually work, BUT think about the benefits. I would be prepared to trade a fair bit to work on that cache and get the benefits of it.

@newt What I am suggesting is not removing the cache, but that we have enough to keep most of its benefits while keeping your system mostly in it.Also long term, 1 GB today, where will we be in 10 years.

@newt Nah. More just a random thought. I don't see anything happening anytime soon for this.However I do think its going to rapidly get to the point where running without RAM (or indeed using it only as swap) is going to be possible for a lot of users, and probably sooner than we think.Going to require some rethinking about how we design and build things though.The potential gains seem great though!

@ignaloidas I’m all for seeing it happen.

@newt the usual, improved latency, faster more responsive software. I’d fully expect us to squander it over time but it could be amazing.

@vncntx There are a lot of Eternal September people on the fediverse. I never understood why they didn't resort to allow listed federation instead of being hostile to others.

@darnell You don't beat the competition by blocking them, but by offering a better product.

@jdp23 Except that means you are splintering the fediverse.That might be fine, in which case move to your own federation. But don't be surprised if in several years you are shedding users.

@jdp23 Yeah it is very splintered. Which is fine. I think it should be the default choice to be honest. A lot of people on the fediverse seem to have the wrong impression about how data flows around it.

@malin that’s not the prevailing sentiment. A lot seem to regard any big player joining as the end times.

@ringo Its already sort of here. Everyone who wants to really interact does what Mastodon does because its the 900 pound gorilla in the room. It's standards win.Worst case I can see is that the network forks. Which might not be a bad situation for those who want to opt out of meta.

Work college and friend got a take-down notice for this https://github.com/boyter/aws-cedar-auth since apparently a "proxy auth" service is owned by a company building a similar product. Would be a shame if open source worked as it should and this spread all over the place.

@gabriel I expected better of people. I really did. Ghoulish is the correct way to describe it.
