Apparently RAM prices are going through the roof, both DDR5 and earlier DDRs, because thanks LLMs, and they're expected to stay that way for maybe all of 2026¹. I guess my 2018 home desktop gets to stay being my desktop for another year or two.

(It's not like it's suffering from performance issues, although it does now take 45+ minutes to build Firefox.)

¹ Oh look, another reason to hope for an LLM crash that guts the demand for new GPUs with lots of RAM.
