Hi,

I have a friend who is looking to run a few simulations he has implemented in python and needs around 256GB of ram. He is estimating it will take a couple of hours, but he is studying economics so take that with a grain of salt 🤣

For this instance, I recommended GCP, but I felt a bit dirty doing that. So, I was wondering if any of you have a buttload of memory he can burrow? Generally, would you lend your RAM for a short amount of time to a stranger over the internet? (assuming internet acccess is limited to a signle ssh port, other necessary safeguards are in place)

    Not anymore… Had a box of old/junk parts lying around before I moved but I didn’t bring it with me because it was essentially just garbage I never got around to taking to the electronic recycling thing because it was just a once a year thing that cost me money.

    I’d have no problem giving away stuff like that. I wouldn’t take parts out of an active machine to let someone “borrow” tho.
