Ah, this is awesome! I currently run k3s on a decently spec-ed NixOS rig. I tried getting k3s to recognize my Nvidia GPU but was unsuccessful. I even used the small guide for getting GPU in k3s to work in nixpkgs[0], but without success. Fo

I feel the same way. I wish they offered a second factor for SSH auth — when I last looked, they didn’t. I also send myself notifications any time a failed or successful SSH login attempt occurs by tailing the ssh service with journalctl. W

At this point, I'm not sure why end users who care about Red Hat stability don't just use RHEL directly. Red Hat has multiple ways to take advantage of RHEL that involve no cost (that weren't available when the original CentO
