Based on Dili's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:
Gili Air is a wonderful tropical island with good enough internet, amazing beaches and affordable accommodation and food. The locals are super friendly and it's super safe. There is a party and live music every night for those that feel like socialising(with the exception of Thursday nights). There's a well equipped gym, Salsa dancing Night every Monday at the schick-kitsch mexican restaurant, stand up paddle, lots of wonderful yoga shalas, kite surfing, snorkelling, diving and lots of food options. It's actually becoming a vegetarian and vegan paradise lately. There's also a co-working space as part of a Yoga Center. Several music and traditional festivals are held every year and it's wonderful to watch local weddings. Land prices are also still reasonable given that the island will be developing at a faster pace now. The quality of people that seem to crowd Gili Air are very different to those that go to Gili Trawangan. Gili Air attracts a 30+ couples, families and friends groups who don't mind splashing out on nice accommodation, spa treatments and great culinary experiences. All in all, my favorite place so far with an average of 322 days of sunshine! The climate doesn't get any better than this anywhere in the world(and given most other exotic islands are prone to hurricanes... there's never been a hurricane or tornado in the Gilis).

You could find all kinds of shop catering to different type of visitor, from cheap to luxurious. Not a party place if you're looking for it, which made it even more perfect. More female than male, great for dating.

Reliable public transport. Some nice spots for off-the-beaten-path walking and hiking. But also clinical, authoritarian, money-minded and very costly. Companies and shopkeepers will always do what's good for them (or makes their own life easier); not what's good for the customer. People avoid eye contact and are generally overworked and miserable. After a while, crossing over to Malaysia's neighboring Johor will, warts and all, feel like a breath of fresh air ("Yes! Space! I can move! I can breathe!").

What I like most is the diversity : there are quiet places, busy places, cheap places, fancy places. Above all, the most important thing for a digital nomad is the Internet and it's almost perfect (there are some breakdowns a few seconds here and there) but overall it's pretty fast. You can feel a great vibe, there is just the right balance between chaos and comfort. Highly recommend.

Fukuoka is a lovely city with a super mellow feeling to it. There's 1.5 million people living here but you wouldn't think so when walking here. It feels a lot like Utrecht, a kinda relaxed artistic hipster city than's more livable than the busy capital Tokyo. And unlike Tokyo, there is lots of short-term coworking spaces, artisinal coffee places, affordable boutique hotels and even coliving spaces with hotel and coworking mixed. Fukuoka is just very different than the rest of Japan. In the rest of Japan it's hard to come by good coffee places to work (mostly bad coffee chains), accommodation is crazy expensive (you'll end up sleeping in capsules) and coworking spaces look more like offices and require 1 or 2 year minimum subscriptions! The best area to stay is Tenjin, it has coworking spaces, fashion stores, vintage stores, boutique hotels and startups. Fukuoka is absolutely lovely. And I wouldn't mind living here for longer times. And this comes from someone who's been pretty critical at Japan for how unlivable it usually is for remote workers. Fukuoka is a great exception.
