Where to storage both Zotero files and Obsidian vaults for free?

Hello, have been syncing my Obsidian vaults through my iOS devices though my iCloud Drive, which I pay, but that run out of space. Regarding Zotero, I reached the 300Mb limit. I remember that for Obsidian some people talked about Syncthing for free sync, whether for Zotero another one was mentioned. As I am a bit of a noob, which cloud or service should I use where I could storage and sync both my Zotero and Obsidian files? I also have OneDrive from my Uni, should that work as well?

What are the best Uni for Statistics or Mathematics?

Hello! I am an Economics BSc student in Switzerland, wishing to pivot to a MSc in Statistics or applied mathematics in Europe and probably stay in academia for a PhD. For a MSc, apart from Bonn and TUM (I inquired and it is pretty difficult I will manage to get in, given my different background), what are other great German universities with good research groups in statistics/mathematics or computational science? I looked into TU Dresden, FAU Erlangen, TU Dortmund, (LMU probably not worth the cost of moving to Munich), Köln, but there are so many Universities I'm having a hard time identifying the best ones in this fields

Sto per finire un bachelor's in economia, sempre odiato con il rimpianto di non aver scelto un'ingegneria, oppure matematica o statistica, tutte facoltà che mi avrebbero sicuramente fatto appassionare e capire in che ambito specializzarmi. Al momento, so solo ciò che non voglio fare, e che per gli ambiti che potrebbero piacermi non ho la preparazione giusta, cosa che mi causa ansia e ulteriore sindrome dell'impostore.

Ho mandato un paio di candidature per degli MSc in Statistica che tanto mi interessano, ma spinta anche dall'insicurezza di non avere ancora né le competenze né il background che vorrei, sono ogni giorno persa, insicura e in ansia. Non so se iniziare una triennale in matematica/ingegneria matematica e iniziare a dare qualche esame per compensare le lacune, se sperare che mi prendano a qualche MSc in statistica e da lì capire in cosa mi vorrei specializzare (quindi pensare al master sia come modo per migliorare le mie competenze sia per scoprire topic che non ho studiato in triennale, e se mi appassiono a un ambito in particolare recuperare le lacune anche in quello) o, se non vengo presa, fare un gap year in cui faccio internship/ faccio ricerca con un professore e do qualche esame singolo di matematica pura per colmare un attimo il gap tra economia e STEM e in generale fermare un attimo anche le mie insicurezze legate alla mia preparazione inadeguata.

Se qualcuno ci è già passato, ogni consiglio è ben accetto!

Hi everyone, in the process of finishing my bachelor in Econ in Europe this September. I’m in a bit of a limbo: for September, I applied just to 2-3 Master’s in Statistics, the ones I am really interested in, and don’t know if I will apply to other ones. The reason is that I kinda wanted to take a gap year (and start an MSc in 2027) in order to make experience through internships (haven’t done any apart from research with my professor) and bridge the gaps from Econ to statistics and math, in order to become a better candidate and also start the MSc with more experience. However, I do not have any internship or something in line yet.

Hence, in March I asked my supervisor for an advice about it, and she proposed me to work this summer with a PhD student on ig an optimization project for a company, so that I could still do research but applied to a company framework, and that it would be an internship. However, I still have to ask her for an update about it, but I’m kinda confused on what to do: should I just spend my summer finishing my thesis and studying/doing projects to bridge the gap in case I get accepted to a MSc for September, or should I just take this opportunity (probably unpaid) and gain experience through this sort of internship?

Thank you in advance!
