Remember how the housing bubble never popped?

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 5 points 1 hour ago

Uh are you ignoring the huge financial crises, and how banks had to be bailed out?

Cons: Will probably lose my job and 401k.

Pros: Might be able to afford a video card by picking up a few extra shifts giving handjobs behind the Wendy's dumpster.

[-] krashmo@lemmy.world 15 points 4 hours ago

Which Wendy's specifically? You know, so I can avoid it.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 hours ago

If you bring a 5090, it can be whatever Wendy's you want.

Can't wait to buy some god damn HDDs for my NAS when this is all over. Let the prices crash baby.

Will be interesting to see what the community does to the over-abundant vector matrizes calculators. Probably run DOOM on.

I bought RAM just in the cusp of the jump. September I put it in the cart waiting for Black Friday and October came by and it was up 50% and I jumped on.

But I’m deleting stuff on my NAS. I neeeed some big drives.

But I’m deleting stuff on my NAS.

Yeah ... until drives become cheap again, my solution is just to go through and see what data I can afford to live without, then delete it to free up more space.

I finally bit the bullet months ago and invested into LTO8 for my cold storage, I still need to buy drives at some point, but at least I've got a decent path to put shit in the mean time so I don't gotta delete anything lolol

[-] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago

What did that set you back for how much storage?

[-] cm0002@lemy.lol 4 points 3 hours ago

Hmm iirc the physical setup (tape drive, auto loader, HBA card for my server) set me back ~2.5k (with the bulk of that being the drive itself) and then the actual tapes was prob another ~1k for 200TBs raw, but more like 100TB actual usable since I use another tape for a backup off-site copy

I had a Beelink Me Mini and a half dozen NVMEs in my cart around that time, but didn't pull the trigger when the price started rising and now I'm kicking myself for it.

[-] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

2 of the 6 drives in one of my pools is 7.5 years old. I found that out last week and had to bite the bullet to buy a spare and swap it in. Doing a resilver with those makes me cringe

At this point, I'm not sure it will crash anymore. Reasonably it should have crashed months ago! Why didn't it?

[-] dandi8@fedia.io 2 points 14 minutes ago

People have been cautiously pointing toward mid-to-late 2027 for a while now, as that's when a lot of the huge loans are coming due.

[-] NathanRanch@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 minutes ago

A lot of the DCs have to be built, before they can go bankrupt. It is that stupid.

[-] Salvo@aussie.zone 30 points 5 hours ago

Everybody knows it will crash.

Some very powerful people are going to lose a lot of money when it crashes.

They are doing everything they can to postpone the crash, or scam others into taking the fall.

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 11 points 6 hours ago

Starting to look like the nuclear fusion energy thing. "It's going to be ready in 20 years!", they said for 50 years.

[-] Jenthura@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

How long is this going* to take?

[-] nanook@friendica.eskimo.com 1 points 3 hours ago

@cm0002 No good answer for RAM right now but with respect to GPUs, consider Intel Arc. I purchased a B50 Pro for a whole of $300, it's turned out to be a reasonably solid performer. I have SR-IOV working on it now a vf for a windows vm, and one for LLAMA inference, I'm using a mamba model so unlike the big boys my LLM learns on the fly. And this thing draws a whole of 50 watts so you don't need your own nuclear power plant to run it.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 hours ago

I doubt that we will get much better prices when the bubble crashes.

[-] JillyB@beehaw.org 5 points 3 hours ago

The bubble popping will take out a huge chunk of the economy with it. We might not be able to afford more drives even if they come down in price.
