I can tell you that Deutsche Telekom has much much more aggressive sales reps than 1&1. (I've been with GMX/1&1 for ~15 years and with DT for ~2 years).

DT called me on phone over and over again, so much that I had to block them on my FritzBox. Several times they even knocked at my door.

Another Althttpd user here. Being able to write a "microservice" just by making a file executable is awesome.

Thx. Am I taxable in my country of residence even when the money is kept on the LLC's bank account in the US?

Let's say a small side hustle earns me $200/month. The money is kept on the LLC's bank account. Later on, when I visit the US, the LLC is paying for traveling and hotel. Would I still need to pay taxes in my country of residence?

(Even though you probably aren't a lawyer, I'd still appreciate your thoughts on this).

I appreciate you sharing the positive experience as a neighbor, but unfortunately, the Deutsche Bahn is as bad as presented here. (I spend several years commuting to college via DB). Once my train stopped in a small village with the announcement "the train ends here". Thankfully, kind people picked me up.

It's a mix of everything (in no particular order):

- the author of LuLu is a security researcher; he also wrote "The Art of Mac Malware"

- I already bought two versions of Little Snitch and wasn't willing to pay for the third one

- contacting their support left a bitter aftertaste

I did exactly that (left mailbox.org for Purelymail). Advantages of Purelymail:

- cheaper

- unlimited number of subaccounts (e.g. for family members)

- unlimited number of domain names

- support is handled by CEO himself

Texas Instruments has awesome documentation. Every single MSP430 microcontroller comes with:

- a family guide describing all features of microcontroller family, usually >500 pages long

- concrete microcontroller guide describing specifics of a single microcontroller, usually >50 pages long

- errata guide describing all(?) known silicon bugs with their workarounds

Also, Clang has a backend for MSP430 by default: `clang -print-targets`

We're exactly in the same position (FinTech):
