Really wish I had bought some more hdds, NVMe, and ram last November. But I just haaaaad to wait for January

Same. I soon need a new HDD for my growing collection of Linux ISOs. Bought one 24tb drive for about 350 last May and the very same drive now costs 500+

Sure wish I had bought a second one back then

Y do u collect Linux ISOs?

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because I like to stare at them in my free time. Sometimes for like 2-2.5h, sometimes only 1 hour or even 20 minutes.

[–] quarkquasar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you ever stare at them for 26.372 minutes?

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

That's the sweet spot

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

lol, that was about the size drive I was targeting. I got one for Xmas at least, but then the price just kept going up and up and up. I wanted to get 4 or 5 more to set up a raid array

I'm just glad the SMART values of mine all look good. I might have to slow down my acquisition of Linux ISOs for a little, but I hope it gets better soon

Same. My sister bought a kit of two 16gb sodimm sticks back in October for ~$100. I regret trying to wait for holiday deals...

I am sooo glad I got my new gaming rig last black friday, even though it wasn't a great discount

[–] Damage@feddit.it 4 points 1 week ago

I bought a framework laptop without RAM just before all this, decided to splurge on 2x24GB sticks. I'm glad I did but I still wish I bought bigger ones.

I can't even buy the ram I need anymore, even if I wanted to pay out the ass for it.
