Would be interesting if there would be a case for slapping an SSD on the back of it and giving it just enough capacitor power to dump whatever is on RAM to the SSD once a power-out happens (and restore upon boot). SSD writes would be super low (rarely) and only happen during power issues or shutting it all down.
- imiric 4y agoI can see this being great as an ephemeral OS disk. I would selectively sync the changes I want to keep, either to a local SSD, or even over a 10Gbps network, which would update the static image used for booting. It's kind of great knowing that a reboot would give you a fresh system, and at these speeds the system would _fly_.
