My feeling was that outside of FAANG you would have to move to Zone 3-4 or share a flat. Combined with the hassle for EU citizen nowadays to get a work permit it does not sound so enticing anymore. Though for FAANG London still seems to ha

Advanced security is only included in the $30 plan. Do I have to worry about the safety of my data if I pick a cheaper plan?

I have been using Duplicati, but >Backup archives are mountable as userspace filesystems for easy interactive backup examination and restores (e.g. by using a regular file manager). looks like a really nice feature of borg. Thanks.

Regarding Java: Spring Boot is highly opinionated and also allows you to do stuff with very little LoC.

A few weeks ago PornHub removed lots of amateur videos without ID verification to not get blocked by Visa&MC. If your niche does not involve ID-verified videos from the big studios, I guess it would be useful to have backups.

Same goes for Germany. The prices for doctors are fixed, so you can kinda look up how much a treatment would cost.

H1-B are not that easy to get, but it might get better after the required minimum salaries were raised. Heard mixed things about intra-company transfers from Europe to the US. Otherwise it's rather difficult to get to SV.
