I'm going to latch onto another part of what you said rather than focusing on trading or manifestation. What in the world do you do for fun? If you're trading in any way that has the chance to make you a profit you're already commits multiple hours a day to this if not a few hours a week (honestly you shoudn't really be trading right now, you should, if you're able, be saving most of your money you're trading into an etf and just let it sit and accumuluate, but that's beside the point), on top of learning dispatching (which I don't know what you mean but that's my own ignorance), and studying. Literally what do you do for fun that doesn't put your money on the line? What do you do that makes you feel good as a person? Because I can tell you what's on the other side of all this grinding you're doing without having any time to enjoy yourself, and that's depressed and burnt out, if you're not already there.

I've never been much a video tutorial person for this kind of thing. I've learned (and continue to learn) on a combination of trial and error, looking at the source of other peoples' websites, and W3 Schools. Here's the documentation/tutorial stuff they have on CSS.

That being said, I'm happy to do it for you for no cost (I've already got my plug with a Jellyfin server)

I’ve gotten into website making. Like old-school personal website making, not the boring corporate template nonsense. It’s really been a joy to go back to html and css (and JavaScript sometimes, I guess) and make something

I used it when I did my Master's thesis. Iirc, there are also browser plugins that you can use in concert that let's you move a paper you're looking at onto the web immediately into Zotero. Great tool, just now learning its an open source tool which makes it all the better for me.

I don't think I'll ever be done with the internet. But it's becoming clear to me that the kind of internet experience that I want (no ads, free and open source software, minimal mega-corpo investment in said software) will necessarily require more from me (more technical understanding, more configuring, &c).
