I got 32 additional GB of ram at a low, low cost from someone. What can I actually do with it?

    In my case, I’m not a fan of running unknown code on the host. Docker and LXC are ways of running a process in a virtual security sandbox. If the process escapes the sandbox, they’re in your host.

    If they escape inside a VM, that’s another layer they have to penetrate to get to the host.

    It’s not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s better than a hole in the head.
