Hi,

I have a friend who is looking to run a few simulations he has implemented in python and needs around 256GB of ram. He is estimating it will take a couple of hours, but he is studying economics so take that with a grain of salt 🤣

For this instance, I recommended GCP, but I felt a bit dirty doing that. So, I was wondering if any of you have a buttload of memory he can burrow? Generally, would you lend your RAM for a short amount of time to a stranger over the internet? (assuming internet acccess is limited to a signle ssh port, other necessary safeguards are in place)
