Show HN: RAMBnB.xyz P2P marketplace for RAM rentals

29 points| olivierroy | 2 months ago |rambnb.xyz

Airbnb is missing out on the biggest rental opportunity of 2026 so I built the solution.

Need to open Microsoft Teams and your other favorite Electron app? Get a temporary increase of memory

16 GB ought to be enough for everybody but in case it's not, you can rent more

Beware the undocumented "memtest86 checkout fee".

This could be a problem on other platforms but RAMBnB is committed to having 0 extra fee

Our RAM sticks are also tested for RTDs (RAM transmitted diseases) between each use

> Renting RAM since 2025. Because downloading is so 2010.

Genius. And, ironically, I bet this site was vibe-coded.

Yes, the website is both part of the problem and the solution

Maybe not targeted specifically at this project, but… can we please stop turning everything into a business idea?

It’s something I’ve been noticing more and more over the last few years: everything gets turned into some kind of monetization scheme, or at least it feels like nothing has value unless it can be turned into money.

That said, good luck with your endeavor!

P.S.: RAMBnB? Do you eat RAM for breakfast in bed? Bold choice! :D

The site appears to be parody fyi

Is a vps not really just renting ram? If you want to test something short term, stick it in whatever vps size you require?
