Show HN: Use network drives as RAM with this cursed Rust allocator

I built a Rust allocator that uses files instead of RAM for memory storage. Because who said memory allocation needs to be fast? Want to make it even more &quot;interesting&quot;? Mount your allocation file over NFS&#x2F;SSHFS and watch your program&#x27;s memory requests casually traverse the internet!<p>Now your RAM can have packet loss and network latency. Distributed systems enthusiasts, your dreams of globally distributed RAM are here (sort of)!
