Safely store secrets in Git using Blackbox
Blackbox is a great tool for securely storing secrets within a Git repository. It provides an easy-to-use PGP encryption system, which ensures that secrets are kept safe and secure. Furthermore, Blackbox can also be used in GitHub Actions as a secret repository, allowing developers to quickly load secrets into their pipelines. With its robust security and automated processes, Blackbox is an excellent tool for securely storing secrets within Git.

Blackbox - Secrets amongst your code
One of the major concerns amongst developers is how to store shared secrets. Storing secrets in a config file along with your source code is problematic as it can compromise privacy. Storing it outside without proper process or documentation can tend to be forgotten (not saying this is not good as using SAAS tools like Vault is the way to go). But in case you have a limited budget and limited capability, using GPG is the way to go. Here comes Blackbox.

Looking for a way to remote in to K's of raspberry pi's...
now some things you need to think about: - cloud init - this will need to be secure so lock it down hard anything not needed an alternative OS to look at if you have the ability's is https://www.alpinelinux.org/ also as these devices are not that powerfull every extra agent / abstaction layer you add impacts performance need to look at low over head security https://www.crowdsec.net/ and https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban (if you call fail2ban security) - using certificates to authenticate ssh login

I am (to be) a web designer, how to ensure security on a vps?
See https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban for beginner's guide, basically you set it up to monitor logfiles and it would act accordingly (plenty of built-in config to handle various daemons so you don't have to write yourself).

Firewall rules beyond "deny incoming, enable only the ports that you need"
https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban is a mature, easy to set up way to have some dynamic firewall rules that respond to attacks. There are more sophisticated options, but they are probably not worth the return on time investment for you.
