Onion6068,

That sadly didn’t work for me. May I ask which version you are using?

Onion6068,

Danke. Ich habe gerade 40 Minuten auf Wikipedia verbracht und Artikel zu diversen Känguruarten und anderen Beuteltieren gelesen

Onion6068,

Given that you’re studying, apply to any software company as a “Werkstudent”. You can work up to 40 hours per week during periods without lectures, up to 20 hours otherwise. The benefits of that versus normal employment are reduced taxes for you and the company. Companies usually do that and also invest in upskilling you in the hope of being able to hire you later. Look up different companies located close to you and just apply.

Source: I worked like that for a small webdev company and than a rather big company til 2021.

Out of curiosity, what license do need?

Onion6068,

Thank you for the answer!

I’d contact a tax consultant to decide which way to go (Freelancing or a registered business). They will also help you in case of problems with the Finanzamt.

You have to pay taxes (Gewerbesteuer) only if you’re making more than 24500 € in profit. It does not sound like OP will make anywhere near that, so there’s no harm in getting a “Gewerbeanmeldung” (registering a business) and being able to sell things as well. It costs 30-100 € depending on where you’re living

Onion6068,

You should submit a tax declaration regardless. Either it’s required, or you’ll most likely receive a refund. So no, there is no harm; on the contrary.

Since the original poster likely won’t do this anyway, this discussion is pointless.

As a takeaway message: Just submit your tax declaration, even as a working student. In most cases, you’ll get some money back. And send it to your Finanzamt (tax office), not the IRS. The US won’t process your German tax declaration.

Cheers

There’s no need to be perfect. Just apply, you’ll learn most on the job. Languages are just tools and most are similar, especially in the java, c#, js, python world. You can also take the initiative and apply to companies without open Werkstudent positions

Onion6068,

I personally prefer using public key encryption over passwords for ssh authentication. There’s no need to rely on third-party VPN providers (like ZeroTier or Tailscale) or hosting your own “vpn server” for that purpose as ssh trafic is already encrypted.

The drawback of following the route you suggested is that you have to operate yet another service that could be misconfigured, potentially causing you to lose access to your server. If you’re keen on further restricting access, consider whitelisting your static(!) IP address, the IP address ranges associated with your provider or the ranges assigned to your country for an additional layer of security.

Proxmox and Minisforum - A Solution to Random Crashes

Background story: A couple of days ago, my Minisforum HM90, which was running Proxmox 7 at the time, started to randomly lock up. While the hardware itself seemed to be powered on, the software wasn’t responding. After two days of troubleshooting, updating, switching to another distribution, changing RAM and SSDs and sometimes...

Onion6068,

I’ve been there with a bad power supply. The support team sent not just one, but two power supplies without asking too many questions. I hope it’ll be smoother for you.

Onion6068,

Core performance boost is like inbuilt overclocking. When you disable it, you’ll get normal performance, and the temperature should be lower as well.

Onion6068,

I can only support that. This is what I am running for my small business as well and it’s been super smooth for roughly a year now! Especially self service and auto-registering based on domain names turned out to be really nice features (for a business). In my homelab I just enjoy having a nice ui.

I came from Authentik which was nice too but nowhere as feature rich as zitadel.

Onion6068,

That’s the reason for rcf 4941. It randomises the host part of your IPv6 address.

This depends on the machine you have.

I would choose a hypervisor, if I had plenty of RAM (32 GB+) and CPU and wanted to have everything properly separated with the option to easily redo things, backup VMs and container, experiment with different setups and also wanted to learn new things. There are plenty of options. Proxmox might be the easiest to get started with and also to get help from the selfhosted community.

If I had limited resources, I would just use docker/docker-compose directly. It is more commonly used than lxc and doesn't have the overhead of a VM.

Regarding safe and secure access: This is a rabbit hole.

I personally don't use cloudflare, a lot of people do. Use a reverse proxy and generate a ssl certificate for all domains used. (Traefik, caddy, npm et cetera). Try to keep services up to date. Separate networks from each other. Think about which services you really have to expose publicly.

Onion6068,

Backups are easily done with virtual machines as well. Taking, moving and restoring such backups is in fact much easier than moving docker containers between hosts as you don't have to differentiate between volumes and locally mounted directories for example. That being said, depending on the use case, containers can be a nice and lightweight solution to separate applications on a userspace level
