Thing is: there’s lots of vacant jobs in IT because of the unwillingness of adequate pay in Germany. Either the employers don’t see the value in hiring motivated people or the motivated people are unwilling to work for peanuts.

Entry level in Berlin was like ~36k for IHK Fachinformatiker für system integration. As a result my last company started to hire in Eastern Europe because no one could afford to live on that even in one of the cheapest cities. And it wasn’t a small company by a long shot. Just greedy bastards

What you describe is a workstation under someone’s desk. Usually when you connect to your campus vpn you should be on the network and be able to reach most things.

The problem is who is gonna manage it when you are gone? I’ve had teams come and ask to get their trash can Mac’s rescued because whoever managed them left the team. How are you going to do backups? Are you gonna put a NAS next to it? Or actually use the tape drives that ITS can provide?

Ask your local research computing group what this team needs to do to host or contribute an actual server. A Mac mini is a consumer product, research grants can I include hardware, your computing group has actual racks and people who know how to manage it.

Just know your worth. You can do it cheaper!

Yeah but it will be wrong 70% of the time and debugging is harder than working from scratch. You just described a fancy IDE and we already have those

Yeah and you can survive outside of a data center and walk through a room with a full cup of coffee without spilling it.

That doesn’t count against daily users. The teasers in instagram are so bad that I just refuse to install another fucking app to pickle my brain faster. I’ll be over here huffing farts like it’s 2006 thanks
