  • As a recently former hpc/supercomputer dork nfs scales really well. All this talk of encryption etc is weird you normally just do that at the link layer if you’re worried about security between systems. That and v4 to reduce some metadata chattiness and gtg. I’ve tried scaling ceph and s3 for latency on 100/200g links. By far NFS is easier than all the rest to scale. For a homelab? NFS and call it a day, all the clustering file systems will make you do a lot more work than just throwing hard into your nfs mount options and letting clients block io while you reboot. Which for home is probably easiest.






  • That’s rpm, suse Linux 1.0 was never built off the same source or installer that Redhat Linux was.

    Do you have a historical example where any suse distribution used redhat based source? As opensuse as I said only used the rpm package manager, it never used any other components of a redhat derived install.

    Source: I work there and can find zero redhat strings in any old source code from that era, the old greybeards took offense to the implication that suse was ever based on redhat other than using rpm which at the time was about it for packaging.

    All they did was start to use rpm instead of tar for packaging.








  • It’s more likely an admission they have to trampoline every gpl function in the kernel which isn’t really easy to do and would let that kernel module run on any other kernel. Otherwise they would have to do a shim like nvidia which would mean a whole other level of issues like saying we support Linux but only Ubuntu which as a non Ubuntu user would mean to me they do not in fact support Linux. I’d vote with walle here but I already don’t own this game as my friends said the user base is terrible years ago but this just means there is no reason to buy any of their games.
