Serious question, what does RAM help with in the context of self hosting? I recently bought 32G for my server, and it’s DDR3 ecc so it’s so cheap I could have afforded 64 but I just kept wondering what will I use it for? I rarely go north of 6G usage and that’s with half a dozen services, a Minecraft server etc… I just don’t know what kind of services are RAM hungry.

VMs mostly. What are you hosting on Minecraft that isn’t using >=4 gigs?
Also ZFS.
