  • I did that once. Went to a completely dysfunctional company. Project management was non existent. There was no planing, no defined goals. The project manager, that never before managed a project, literally told me “I think everybody know what has to be done” when I asked for a first assignment.

    I though - well I’ll just hang out there and get paid, but alas there was 2 hours of meetings, shouting, everybody blaming everybody else, non stop phone calls etc. every day. Home office got cancelled because “you developers aren’t productive”. If you do nothing (because nobody told you to do anything) you get shouted at, if you do what they tell you to do (“just make a website, it can’t be that hard, we need to be at the top of the google search results” - “what should i put on the website?” - “we don’t know, but make sure it’s at the top”) they look at the result and blame you because it isn’t what they had in mind when they asked.

    Wasn’t free money, had to take a long break for mental health afterwards.

    Years later, I still look up their project sometimes. The website is the same as when I left.



    • People buy njalla domain.
    • Start to do illegal stuff on domain.
    • Njalla gets legal complaint.
    • Since njalla doesnt know your personal info, all they can do is shut down the domain
    • People cry that they were “scammed” by njalla for “no reason”
    • Sometimes in these kind of posts, when you pry long enough they admit to doing something illegal (which they think is fine, like pirated media sharing).

    I have my personal website domain and some selfhosted stuff on subdomains on a njalla for over 5 years. Never had any issues cause none of what I do is illegal.

    On the budget side there is:

    raspberry pi + usb RAID enclosure that can spin down the harddrive (I used icybox in the past)

    Instead of a pi, it is also interesting to look at mini PCs like N97 or N100 which are super cheap nowadays, about the same as a rpi5 if you consider whats included / what addons you’d have to buy fpr the pi. Mini PC have more RAM, a build in nvme, a way beefier CPU. But their power efficiency is way worse.

    Depends on how much horsepower you need or how energy efficient you want to be.
