No it is just you. Why don't you start reading https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/

Because that is shit, you can not sign up via email, google is putting up these 
cookie walls, and last but not least you are forcing people to share their data 
with google. Maybe you do not care what data google grabbing of you, but others 
might do.

Because it would spread the knowledge over different media, and therefore you 
are likely to create a situation where on each medium your repsonse times go 
down. Everyone has email, not everyone has a github account.

Wtf reddit, servethehome?? There is nothing you can find there. Every time 
there is reddit link in my search results, the information there is shit. I am 
not even opening reddit links anymore.

Issues?? If you have a default setup, you hardly have (one even can say no) 
issues.

So if you read it all, you should not have any problems. I did not even read 
all, and do not have any issues (knock on wood, of course). But I have the 
impression you (like many others here) are not taking enough time to educate 
yourself. 
If you a aspire to become a brain surgion, you also do not get educated via 
reddit, not? Educate yourself, so when the shit hits the fan, you can fix the 
majority yourself. Ceph is not a wordpress project.
