I have unironically heard of using a private Subreddit as a project management/bug tracking tool and in a weird and twisted way it kind of makes sense

use google services as the backend for mail and calendar but block access to the web interffaces at the firewall (desktop machine with 2 nics running ubuntu server)

the company uses thunderbird for email and calendaring, and everyone is required to gpg sign all email sent from a company email address, internal company communication that is not signed is just dropped (todo: figure out how to configure google imap/smtp to do this)

this would be a “fun” way to do programming assignments. every quarter you start out with a barebones todo list, assignment is to add a feature of your choosing, and you get the last persons finished copy

a thing I have heard from Apple people is that one of the bug-tracking predecessors to radar was a big hypercard stack that lived on someone's computer. At some point it actually got imported and you can find the resulting bugs if you look hard enough.

dont own any infra at all, goog suite, github, aws. The router is owned by the isp. When a new hire shows up you just take them to the apple store. The office is just a place with a coffee machine and whiteboards where the boss call yell at you in person.

This is 100% the right answer, sold a 30MM company with this infra

yeah you need a white pages and a yellow pages, which is why you need an old Sun in a corner running an NIS server on SunOS 4.0.3

nobody can remember the password so the admin just reboots to single user to make changes

also its NVRAM battery died decades ago so the admin has to enter an incantation at any cold boot to set the Ethernet address; the Post-It with the incantation is faded and impossible to read (it’s in the original CTO’s chicken-scratch) but the admin knows it by heart

incidentally all systems—including portables connecting via the PPTP VPN—have hard-coded IP addresses that must reverse-ARP to a name in that Sun’s /etc/ethers to use any network server ces
