I've found libraries to be superior to cafes for working -- dead quiet. Funded by the taxpayer, so zero financial worries, just a public space. Free WiFi, Printer, etc. Nice chairs too
Yes, libraries have been one of my best choices for a year, instead of an hour driving to the office, I changed my routine to 10 min, grab a coffee, and head to the library. The only downside is you can't make a phone call in a library, sometimes I had to run to the parking lot (which also has wifi covered) to take Zoom calls :D
Many libraries have conference rooms and small rooms you can book for silent work or meetings. Many have separated silent and social areas in which you can get away with a call if you're on headphones and not being a loud douche. Just ask at the desk.
My library has fiber internet...but it only allows browsing. No ssh, no git, no vpn...
I use a VPN service which has endpoints that accept connections on TCP 80/443, and UDP 53, one of these usually works to bypass these limitations.
Just use a tunnel through one of the open ports. If you don't have a server handy, the cheapest VM on any hosting company would cost practically nothing.
Yes, I agree! You can also submit and check into libraries on Workmode.co!
