       Wife: “do you have a computer with more than 32GB RAM? I’m trying to run this bioinformatics workflow and it’s running out but I can’t tell if it needs like 60 gigs or a terabyte, and if I can avoid filing the forms to get it added to katana I will”Me: “I can get you a VM with 128GB on my server in fifteen minutes. Nothing would make me feel more accomplished than to help you do science”

       The workflow still couldn’t run with 128GB so it’s off to the HPC cluster she goes to run the job with 2TB.But at least we were able to run some integrity verification passes that needed more than 32 gig.

       @s0 yay large memory systems lol.I could probably offer someone 256GB without too much work and 384 if it was important enough I was willing to temporarily pause some of my other stuff.But it's super nice to have lots of space on a VM server so you can just be your own cloud big iron for your own or friends/family needs when something like that comes up
