mastodon 4.7.3(he/him) Environmental Scientist/Meteorologist @umphy@xn--baw-joa.social. Built a low-cost CO₂ sensor network to monitor natural CO₂ emissions (dissertation: http://dx.doi.org/10.15496/publikation-117538), now developing meteorological payloads for multicopters.

It's done, I successfully defended my #PhD! 🤩
My amazing colleagues @umphy@xn--baw-joa.social made this gorgeous hat for me 😍
In #Switzerland they have wheelchair swings 🇨🇭
And here is my published dissertation @umphy@xn--baw-joa.social, about quantifying the natural CO2 exhaust at the Starzach site in Southwest Germany (my result: ~10t/d):

I used a lot of #FOSS software and hardware for all of it and it was amazing. Honorable mentions: #gitAnnex, #dataLad, #KiCAD, #OpenSCAD, #PlatformIO, #Arduino, #TexLaTeX. I just wish I'd used #nix / #nixOS sooner.

Come on #LinuxMobile people, we're very close to the 10k mark for the new #SailfishOS #Jolla2 phone. Reaching that, @jolla@techhub.social will open source "The Other Half", the amazing changeable backplate with hardware accessories the #Jolla1 already had.
Once you are done fighting it, documents typeset with #TexLaTeX are pretty damn rad! 🚀
The automations you can put into place to help you focus on the actual writing are really something else:
- different modes for notes, submission, and publishing
- acronym or physical unit expansion only upon first mention
- auto-generated glossary or symbol list
- and of course a ton of (back)references
Paired with a good PDF reader (such as the one built into #Zotero), the backreferences ROCK! 🤙

python3 - 3.8.18 => 3.11.15
A long overdue update. I'll have to repackage all my apps and Python dependencies though.
Want rustdesk on a new laptop? That is 15-30 minutes of compilation, depending on your hardware.
That one also bit me for a long time, until I realised that you can just use rustdesk-flutter and the hassle is gone:

Has anyone here published with @plosclimate@mstdn.science?
My manuscript is slowly approaching submission state. It is a very technical paper about the essence of my #PhD: quantifying natural #CO2 emissions at the #Starzach site (Turns out, it's a few tonnes per day! 🤯)
Reading through the existing #PLOSClimate papers, mine seems a little too mathematical, but I guess it's fine? Typically one would submit this to AMT or JTECH but PLOS is a nonprofit, which I want to support.
