What they mean is you can just do something like mount -t tmpfs -o size=1G tmpfs /mnt/ramdisk to get a file system using regular RAM already.

I have some interest in trying to take that on if it's really unmaintained now. I use mlmym and want to make sure we continue to have an interface that works w/o JS. I have relevant web programming experience, but not with Go specifically.
@nnrx@lemmy.world FYI, if you're still here.
Seems to be working fine for me.
There's a lot of overlap, but the other is a bit more general purpose (not just new communities). I joined both to help with community discovery.
There's more-or-less already an active community for that: !communitypromo@lemmy.ca
From their description:
Promote your favourite communities here, or ask about a community you are looking for
A post titled like "Is there a community for TOPIC?" with text in the body indicating you're interested in making one if not would likely do well there.
What was the most ridiculous or funny boundary push you saw?
Trolling someone by attaching a camera to the ceiling right above their keyboard. I've been paranoid since I saw that stunt pulled... They got their point across about physical security though.
The ones that don't induce a groan are dud jokes.
I'm willing to get creative, but I'm out of ideas
Thinking outside the box, computers don't have to go in cases...
If you still want a case and can't find an existing one that fits your needs you could try to make your own. Know anyone with a 3D printer or shop skills?
I've worked for a university before and it was very common for staff to remote into their systems from home -- usually with SSH for CS types or Remote Desktop/Team Viewer/etc. for less computer-focused folks. (The former usually didn't have much issue -- the folks using the latter mechanisms got compromised a number of times... -.-) There was also a campus provided VPN that was required to access certain systems with instructions to students and staff on how to use it, but other systems just got public IP addresses.
If what you're doing is related to your work and campus IT doesn't object, you're probably fine to do it. I've run various kinds of websites and web apps for colleagues to collaborate on research projects. Being able to do things like that is kind of the point of the internet.
Having seen a number of students, uh, push the limits and find the boundaries of acceptability the hard way though... I'd strongly advise you not to install cryptominers, run TOR exit nodes, or torrent TV shows/movies/etc. That kind of thing tends to get your systems in hot water with IT or other parts of the bureaucracy...
Looking through the list of sellers, I don't think they're going to collect much, if any, of that...
