Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I was out after the 3000-series. A 3080 was the last NV I could stomach and I'm all AMD now. People even considering $2,500 or more to "play games" have more money than sense.
You can easily put the username and password into a file, store it in /root for example with chmod 600 so that is only readable by the root user, and reference it in /etc/fstab with credentials={filename}
Ya, the PA120 is a couple bucks less than when I bought one last week. Also the PA120 has the ARGB fan version if you are into that. (I am.) I was also able to buy 3x matching ARGB fans for the case for $12.
