The answer is a clear yes.

In short: Choose your tool that will suit you throughout your degree and really dig into it and learn it now while doing your paper.

Long version:

This is absolutely common and I’m not aware of a text editor which supports footnotes but doesn’t support automatically numbering and referencing.

In latex there’s actually a \footnote that takes care of that. In libre office, if I recall correctly, it’s Insert -> Footnote and I’m sure there are templates with the proper formatting and font sizing already in place.

Now it sounds like you’re quite early in your higher degree career - depending on your goals and future challenges you might want to either go the easiest route or really dig into writing-based formatting: It’s just faster if you’re typing all the time to not switch to a mouse to inert footnotes - but only if your really used to it.

Yes, it is private by technology:

GPS and other systems working the same way are passive, similar to receiving a radio signal. You’re receiving the signal of several satellites at the same time and your device calculates your position based on those signals. You’re basically getting “I’m satellite cool boy and at the next beep it’s exactly five past nine” all the time - only with a bit more precision. Your device does rhen the actusl position calculation locally.

Fun fact! Geo positioning is one off the few things where we need to apply both general and special relativity for real world effects: the effects due to the satellites speed and high distance to earth (and therefore the reduced effect of gravity) cause a significant shift in the speed in which clocks run on those satellites compare to Earth. As we use the exact time to calculate distance and with that position this would cause a huge drift otherwise!

Opencloud is the was to go from the established systems in my opinion. https://github.com/opencloud-eu

File sharing and -management for me has a higher level of trust and stability requirements. Syncin with four developers and “doing everything” while based on typescript makes me suspicious - but I haven’t tried it hands-on.

Traefik and caddy were mentioned, the third in the game is usually nginxproxymanager.

I’m using both traefik and nginx in two different setups. The nginxproxymanager can be configured via UI natively which makes checking configurations a bit easier.

Traefik on the other hand is configured easily within the compose itself and you have everything in one place.

This turned out to be tiresome though if you don’t have a monolithic compose file - that’s actually even hr history why I switched to npm in the first place.

I don’t have any experience with caddy so can’t provide anecdotal insights there.

I really like it already so take this as an alternative, not as improvement:l. I don’t have a good eye for aesthetics anyway don’t his is more about structure.

Personally I switched from a single dashboard to purpose driven hubs - I can’t imagine a situation where I need my infrastructure and my calendar at the same time regularly for example.

Another point is context typing: your release checker is quite far away from your appointments and calendar. It looks to me to be sorted by content rather then function (i.e. it’s entertainment so it’s next to YouTube). The same is true for your interaction patterns. There is a lot of visual information which I’m sure you’ll rarely interact with but instead consume. And then there are clearly external links, both bottom left (opencloud, tooling) and top right (external media) in addition to your own self hosted content.

My suggestion is therefore a process instead of a change: Note down when you consume which features of this awesome dashboard together for a few days. Then restructure the content of the whole dashboard based on your usage patterns - either as a new Monolith or even experimenting with splitting it.

I even suggest using a different medium then your usage device (if it’s a desktop PC mainly use pen and paper, if it’s your laptop use your phone, if it’s your phone you use this dashboard on then you might have different problems :D)

You don’t! At least not in the sense that I’m aware of the JADE thing:

JADE is nothing that is a strong work proven topic but came from social media to handle narcissistic people as a peer group.

Your reactions are hostility and rejection based and how I understand you it’s your nerves that you want to preserve.

For this in a professional work place there are multiple ways to deal with and even all of them at the same time, just from the top of my head:

• Always go over your manager, make it his problem. “Dispatcher causes work for me by raising false claims/redundant questions - please resolve with their manager”
• I’d call it business ghosting: answer and questions raised but but don’t go into any depth. “Correct, phone was not working due to no wifi.”
• Work on yourself to detach your emotional connection: this is the toughest but also the most valuable one. It’s a fucking dispatcher who has his own problems and no other way to handle them then to try to use his environment as catalyst. My personal route is the framing “poor fucker, needs his routine and world to accept himself”. But also “this seems to be the only way he can feel important in front of himself” would work for me. Usually when I take pity with people I can’t get angry anymore about their behaviors.
• Figure out what the true impact on your work performance is and handle that separately from the emotional connection. It’s absolutely normal to be annoyed and angry by the behavior you’ve described - detachment of impact and emotion can be a way forward.

Hope this helps a bit!

Haha I feel you!

Perhaps try to be a bit less extreme in your language in front of your parents - or offer them a bet: if a CO2 monitor is yellow or red at the evening they pay for it and you can air whenever it’s getting yellow. If it stays green you pay for it and shut up about the windows!

Your parents are right in terms of energy waste, im sorry to say.

I’m quite similar though and air about five times a day but with a timer so that the air gets circulated completely without cooling out the house itself.

The breathing struggle is most likely a mix of dust sensitivity and psychology. For me an air cleaner made a huge difference in my comfort level.

I’d you want to go the scientific approach get a CO2 monitor (the most important element for brain performance when talking about home air) and a PM2.5 sensor for dust levels.

Thanks for the link! I wondered how strong it correlates with other changes on the US education system which makes it tough to estimate the impact on everything happening there.

After a few minutes reading Sweden seems to be a easy better case study because of fewer other changes and overall a more homogeneous ruleset.

You are a prime example for a simple truth: circlejerking (“opinion bubbling”) doesn’t depend on platform.

There are a shitload of users. Yet, “everybody”…

Perhaps in their social circle, AI is the new porn. Who ever would watch that, after all?

But, more likely, everyone clapped and that was it…

Then there would still be the possibility for someone to take off the glasses.

Or invent spectrometers.

Or make others curious.

I’d claim that our issue is too much belief and not a lack thereof. Beliefs remove the potential for excourse y for discussions and for admission of being wrong. Believing is the act of removing an item from analysis, from critique and in its final form from thinking about it.

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding you - if that’s the case please apologize.

I don’t get it with the body either. No we are not insane as a species and if only because insanity is defined on what we as collective see as normal. But what is “deep history”? And people don’t get send to a doctor just because they believe in fairytales, at least where I live.

Humans seem to have an inert need to have answers and guessing one seems to be better than “I don’t know” for many.
