      It will crash as soon as it needs to touch the swap due to the relatively insane latency difference.

        So use a small area in memory as cache

      wait, didn’t some tech youtubers like LTT try using cloud storage as swap/RAM? afaik they failed because of latency

        This guy used ICMP data payload as a hard drive. It kinda worked.

        It’ll never be fast enough. An SSD is orders of magnitude slower than RAM, which is orders of magnitude slower than cache. Internet speed is orders of magnitude slower than the slowest of hard drives, which is still way too slow to be used for anything that needs memory relatively soon.

        I posted that 10 months ago.

        That being said, it seems to still work for me.
