Hey,
I realised that I am not seeing any new saved posts/comments for feddit.de and a random list of comments I didn't acutally save for my lemmy.world account.
It works fine on the web interfaces.

Fuck this guy.
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
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
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
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.

Out of curiosity, what license do need?
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.
Core performance boost is like inbuilt overclocking. When you disable it, you'll get normal performance, and the temperature should be lower as well.

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.
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 getting logs, and sometimes not getting logs at all, I was fed up and ready to never buy hardware from Minisforum again.
So I emailed the support, describing my situation and requesting a new device. Luckily, my HM90 was still within their 2-year warranty. Some Google searches brought up that they would most likely need to replace the device as there was no real solution.
48 hours later, I received an email asking me to change some BIOS settings. So far, everything has been up and running for 20 hours without issues. Compared to crashes every 90 minutes on average, that seems like a significant improvement.
Settings:
Deactivate the following in the BIOS
Advanced/AMD CBS/CPU Common Option/Core Performance Boost
Hopefully, this will be helpful to someone facing a similar situation.
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.
That's the reason for rcf 4941. It randomises the host part of your IPv6 address.
