Like hosted a website or a server for your personal needs, or taken a smartphone given to you for work or something like that.
I worked at a car dealership that put out very nice, fresh muffins for the customers. I was a drug addict at the time and wasn’t spending money on food so that’s where I ate
Printing/scanning on the company printer. Was careful at a corporate job as I suspected they might monitor what I send to the printer or what the printer scans, so I was low-key with that
I was working in my (poor third world) government job, and our keyboard broke. Replacements took months, since they only bought mouse and keyboards in bulk once per year or so, and they ran out of.
I had a second job working as a contractor for a private company, where we were contracted for a public hospital providing system administration and technical support. We had some old PS2 keyboards that were to be decommissioned, but since they didn’t have inventory number, I got hold of them and brought some to my other job.
So I donated some equipment from one area of government to another, but it was kinda illegal, lol 😆.
In 1999 when the entire town was on dialup, I set up this relatively small PC with FreeBSD 3.3 and eggdrop, and hid it in the school library. That way I had an IRC bot that worked while I was offline. After a while I also set it up to automatically grab files from FTP servers for me, but getting these out from the “server” offline was tricky due to 1.44MB floppies being the only removable storage I had available.
Back then internet carried dialup charges per minute for me, so this was a huge time and money saver.
My manager actually wants me to host a Minecraft server on company hardware to test our performance monitoring system, aren’t I lucky
Now if only I knew how to get players on it who aren’t my friends
