What passport to use traveling to USA with two citizenships?

Always enter and exit the US with your US passport. Not doing so is illegal.

For anything else, use your German passport, especially in the EU. That's what I have been doing for years.

I don't know if it is an issue for immigration, but you absolutely are required to file taxes every year and can get in trouble if you don't. There's a "streamlined procedure" that you can do if you've never filed taxes to start filing without incurring any fines or penalties.

That's a very American point of view. I had multiple science classes (Physics, Biology, Chemistry) and a single Math and History class each. (I'm from Germany)

The different math classes that I know of from the US (Trig, Calculus, etc.) are all just taught in Math class according to the school year you're in.

PHP is dead?

It has also improved a lot in the last years. PHP5 and especially versions older than that weren't very good and deserved a lot of the criticism. PHP7 and onward are much better languages and don't deserve the hate.

Why are keyboards getting smaller?

I switched to a TKL (tenkeyless) to reduce the distance between my hands when my right hand is on the mouse, and it feels so much better.

I got a programmable keyboard, so I remapped the keys around where my right hand rests to be the numpad keys when I hold the capslock key. That way I can still have the convenience of the numpad without having an actual dedicated numpad, although I'm still getting used to using it this way.

Especially during work hours

To add to that: Configure your notifications. Anything that isn't urgent doesn't need to vibrate or make a sound. It can just sit there until you look at your phone. Also, use do not disturb for things like work.

Also, ich hab das ganze so verstanden:

reddit = read it = lases lemmy = let me = lassmich

Föderiertes reddit wäre also eher fases oder föses.

Any love for Kubernetes here?

I love kubernetes. At the start of the year I installed k3s von my VPS and moved over all my services. It was a great learning opportunity that also helped immensely for my job.

It works just as well as my old docker compose setup, and I love how everything is contained in one place in the manifests. I don't need to log in to the server and issue docker commands anymore (or write scripts / CI stages that do so for me).
