That's a little bit to much for my trusty notebook...


Do you have any in-depth resources on how to start and operate a US LLC as a foreigner?

short: no

long: It depends.

If you are a foreigner, e.g. no US resident, you are fully taxable with your US LLC profits in your country of residence, e.g. let's say Germany. There is no way to get a tax discount or any other simple magic hack. However, if your lifestyle allows, to become a digital nomad (not living in a single country for more than 183 days) in theory you may operate tax-free (only sales outside of US, domestic US sales are taxable). The big benefit of a US LCC in this case is, that it's 100% trustworthy limited liability company that does not automatically enforce taxation residency for you individually and can be operated from anywhere in the world. No UAE, no Caribbean islands shell companies needed, that ring all bells and will keep business away.


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'm not a tax advisor and most of my knowledge is about Germany, but if you have no physical business in the US, like office and proper residency (decision-making process), you have to tax in your own country. Tax evasion would be easy if that would not be the case. It's not only about profits but even the expenses need to be taxed/settled under e.g. German law.

So if your LLC collects $200/months and pays $100 for operations, you need to provide both positions to the German tax authorities, not just the $100 pro-forma profit.

They treat the LLC as "shell company" unless you have an office and can document that the business decisions are made there (because you are there a decent amount of time or have a hired manager and you just a shareholder).

US authorities have to report to the German authorities that you own an LLC, not the fiscal details, but the business facts.

If you are successful in your business, and your LLC is really making money, you can reduce your taxation duties in your current home country if you move abroad for half a year. If you don't stay longer than 182 days in one country, you are not taxable (except US citizens). This is also true if you move within the EU every couple of months. Of course this is not easy and comes with a lot of expenses and mental load (you MUST leave a country or you will have to tax everything their AND you have to document your stays carefully).

The LLC works great if you do that. The German GmbH does not. Hence starting an LLC can make sense if you plan to start this nomadic lifestyle. Owning a property (home) causes tax residency in Germany, so this is another story to take care of, if you are lucky enough to own something.


Thx a lot. Really appreciate you taking the time for such a thorough answer.

This is exactly the reason why I went with the 3rd edition.

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.


The README doesn't mention this, but on macOS it's also available via brew:

`brew install snitch`


dont think this is in homebrew/core, brew install snitch may be a different package, could you paste brew info snitch output? if its not this project, i will add a note to the readme to avoid confusion. but i will be creating a homebrew cask soon


  $ brew info snitch

I didn't verify anything, but used the brew install and the installed cli at least looks and behaves like I expected from this HN post.


I've been a long time Litte Snitch user. However, these days I'm just using LuLu: https://objective-see.org/products/lulu.html


Why did you switch? Price? OSS? Or does LuLu have compelling features?


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

I have probably also paid for three versions. It’s a great piece of software and they do not require upgrades excessively.

But I will try LuLu. I would rather my security software was OSS.


Can you please elaborate a little bit more on this? I'm thinking about buying an ereader but haven't decided yet which is the one...


The Pocketbook reads more formats natively like CBR, CBZ, which I also use.

The Pocketbook synchronizes reading between several devices, even for books you have uploaded yourself.

And the Pocketbook has text-to-speech and supports audiobooks.


I forgot to add: Font management in the Kobo is still superior, because you can change the darkness of the font.


Thx. Appreciate your feedback.


I enabled the tap (System Settings) so I can "click" everywhere.


Reading the title, I expected this to be the successor of Electron.

Or at least a positive version of it...
