I think many people at the time considered it an opportunity for change as they passed through the stages and arrived at acceptance of "this is what it is now". I remember talking with people that were optimistic that society might take a turn to the communal again.
Maybe it was different at different places, but I think here it grew stronger with time though it transformed from the celebrities singing on social media and applauding nurses to general acceptance of communal hardships and everybody pulling together to get through it. I think despite the hardships and suffering there was a communal spirit that is rare nowadays.
During the blockchain craze there were attempts of monetising distributed data storage by cryptobros renting out disk space for virtual currency. AFAICR it turned out more expensive and less reliable than most any competitive datacenter. So my guess is that it would be much less than you imagine.
A fringe case I've found ChatGPT very useful is to learn more about information that is plentiful but buried in dead threads in various old school web forums and thus very hard to Google. Like other people's experiences from homebrewing. Then I ask it for sources and most often it is accurate to the claims of other homebrewers that also can be correct or less correct.
Variants and derivates of Debian on my servers and other headless devices because no reason except I know it, it is stable, it works.
Been trying linux for desktop every five-ten years for the last twenty odd years and went back to Windows every time because it was too bad experience despite I really tried to like it.
Except this time.
Fedora KDE on my laptop, soon on my stationary as well. No more Windows for me.
He is saying that he'll keep rollercoasting the market for anybody paying him to do so. The immensely wealthy will get even wealthier at the expense of everybody else.
Yeah because you started talking about something that was well beyond the scope of what I was suggesting. You could also have said "thanks, but I want to keep this in my laptop because reasons" it would have been clear and consistent but instead you started rambling about seemingly tangiental other aspects of your project. Neither me or anybody else has any obligations to bend over backwards to come up solutions for you. We throw out ideas and maybe you can find something that brings you forward.
But certainly, I won't bother trying to help you again. Ta ta.
What on earth are you on about? What negativity? I'm trying to suggest solutions and point out that maybe the solution is somewhere else than your initial idea?
I'm not sure where your mind went while writing this, but my comment was a suggestion for a possible solution to your original question about massive sets of fast volatile memory for storage. Maybe you need to consider changing platform and adapt your project to what is accessible if you want to make this happen. Unless you can find that exotic device that may or may not exist in the first place and afford it. I mean, is running it on your existing laptop really the show stopper requirement?

Well that is one patronising way to respond I guess.
