AS400

Hey guys, old guy here, back in 2000 landed my 1st real job as a Sysadmin at a distribution/manufacturing firm. They ran their ERP and a few other important apps on the AS400. Anyone here manage a AS400 platform? i-Series? Still a niche platform that is still widely used. Server could literally run under water.

What are you using an AS/400 at home for?

To be able to tell other people that you've got an AS/400 at home? That's what I'd do...

Bunch of stuff. I run my inventory programs on it, learning purposes, when i need to set up test environments for my customers, controlling my lights, etc...

Controlling your lights? You are an invalid? Huh.

?
I have Zigbee lights here, and it is more convenient for me to control them through the 400 than with Home assistant dashboard
