RAM pricing is outta hand. Downgrading my Homelab so I can afford to max out the RAM on my servers again.
@geerlingguy My Home Assistant NUC PC had 16 GB of RAM in it because that was what was in the PC before I decided to use it for Home Assistant. I recently raided it for the 2 8GB sticks and put in one 4GB stick because 6 months later, RAM prices are nuts and I acquired a laptop that needed the RAM. No way was I going to pay current market prices!

And for some reason, even basic HA setups will eat through 4GB of RAM in no time.
I like HA, but whoever is doing resource optimization over there, needs serious help.

@AdmSnackbar @geerlingguy I barely use 1 GB of RAM. I don't have the most elaborate setup.

@geerlingguy @BoloMKXXVIII

Mine uses 4GB straight for like 10 sensors and a dashboard.

Do you use the full HAOS setup or docker/something else? I'm seriously concerned I'm doing something very wrong here.

@AdmSnackbar @geerlingguy Full HA on bare metal. I am using Zigbee devices pretty much exclusively (16 of them).
