You can get this as a snack in Taiwan, broken instant noodles with seasoning ;)
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 @jormaig@programming.dev 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.
