No. Ddr4 ram prices have been tripling this year.

I needed ddr4 ecc, but couldnt justify paying 3x the price that I paid last year.

Also wanted to buy ddr4 sodimm for my wife’s laptop, you guessed it, 3x the price.

I have that virtualized, times three. Two to have a failover, and third one with different settings for my kids (cloudflare’s family dns)

Venezuela is a developing country, has the world’s largest known oil reserves, and has been one of the world’s leading exporters of oil.

Well that explains it

I guess you dont have kids?

I make “six figures” and pay everything in my family. Mortgage, childs clothes, electricity, heating, groceries, everything is so friggin expensive compared to the simple times of 00’s when I lived off with $500/a month in uni, and had great time. The pay for my vacancy was even better in 2010. So my predecessors were making more 15 years ago and every fucking thing cost less. Society is fucked.

But I’m not going around shouting this off rooftops. Because I got the highest compensation when considering my uni friends, and I make do. My kids get new clothes every so often, we have money for food and one vacation yearly. Things are okay, but thats me. For many, things are beyod fucked, and I feel sorry for them.

Thats what I did for 10 years.

To get my wife or parents or kids to use these often hacky and clunkier UIs was pain. I eased up and decided not to care. All iot shit are now in their own vlan with only :443 outboud allowed and I have integrated them to hassio. If my wife wants to use those million different cloud apps, I install those for her.

Decided just not to care.
