A question for all my dev friends with one foot in the devops world. Your homelab.
What do you do for asset management?
What do you recommend?
How do you keep it secure

One of the things I want to accomplish by getting my CS degree later in life is too demonstrate that it's never to late. If I can help one other person restart their chase of a life long goal, then I've been successful.
@rory_blyth Family is messy and often thankless. If thanks do come, it's often years later when people have had a chance to reflect (assuming that they do that reflection thing.
As far as I'm concerned, you did better than good.
I'm not family, but I hope it helps a little.
@richcampbell "Did it fall down during integration testing??"
"No sir"
"Then ship it"
"Sir, this is a prototype, it should never be shipped, it's ugly and fragile."
"You aren't paid to be proud of your code, you're paid to hit an arbitrary deadline."
@unclebobmartin The business doesn't understand that removing the mess increases speed. They are paid to not understand that relationship. To be clear MANAGERS are evaluated on their ability to hit deadlines, and preventing bad news from rolling uphill. But it's the same thing.
@geerlingguy Is it wrong that what comes to mind is offering up my 4 stack of pi 4 with Poe hats, micro SD cards and router for a grand and seeing if anyone bites? Not going to sell my toys, but certainly thinking about seeing how much it would go for.
In most engineering meetings you could replace me with a bot that asks, "what is the correct thing to measure to determine if this work will achieve the desired result? What is the current baseline? Please can this go in the bug / design doc?"
@joshuahoover IBM had less than 5 mainframes in 1995 ? That seems WAY off, unless IBM didn't enter the mainframe market until 1995. I remember the new Amdahl install at the hospital I worked at in the late 80s so the market was there.
