LGR has a nice review of this and a similar machine: https://piped.video/watch?v=6bODiZ5bP84

It's produced by Chris Morris, so: both ;)

I can't really tell you what to use, but from my personal experience - stay away from glusterfs and drbd. both have caused me serious trouble when trying to run them in a production setup. ceph seems to be pretty solid, though.

TIL Descent and Saints Row came from the same studio.

regarding docker secrets: what @[email protected] said, examples for doing this are here: https://docs.docker.com/compose/use-secrets/

regarding passwords: maybe you don't "have to", but if i'd argue it's important to build a habit of never using weak passwords anywhere. using strong passwords shouldn't be/feel like an extra step but part of the normal workflow.

You spelt "That one mistake I made in some random conversation 5 years ago, that no other participant could remember if their lifes depended on it" wrong ^^

nvidia has always been hostile to open source, as far back as i can remember.

back when nvidia bought 3dfx they took down the source code for the open 3dfx drivers within days, if not on the same day. i remember because i had just gotten myself a sweet voodoo 5 some weeks before that, and the great linux support was the reason i chose it... of course the driver code survived elsewhere, but it told me all i needed to know about that company.

also: linus' rant wasn't just a fun stunt, it was necessary to get nvidia to properly cooperate with the open source community if they want to keep making money running linux on their hardware.

woohoo! looking forward to this!
