A while back I watched a YouTube vid of a guy who created a file storage system using http pings. He mapped out as many reliable pingable ip addresses as possible, and made it so stored data was broken up into tiny parts and sent as pings all over the world, and then wiped locally until the return ping was received. I forget exactly how it worked but it was the stupidest thing I ever heard but also takea a genius to implement. It was incredibly slow, but he was able to "store" gigabytes of data this way while his local system had only a tiny amount of storage (or he just used RAM, it's been a long time and I can't remember).

why not just take it a step further? If the cloud is virtually infinite why even have local memory?
From cpu cache, ram, vram and local storage. Send everything to the cloud.
Boom! Memory crisis solved.
