- api 3y agoWithout memory safety? Do you mean ECC? Non-ECC issues are statistically rare. You might never see them if you aren’t running a lot of systems at heavy load at scale.
- mkatx 3y agoYeah, ecc. I do have a lot of data intensive services running. But my systems are mostly amd, and I'm pretty sure my amd CPUs can actually use ecc memory, so I'll probably upgrade some day.
- api 3y agoI've run non-ECC systems at heavy load for uptimes in excess of a year and not had issues. It really is statistically rare... but of course common enough that if you run whole data centers you will see it.
