Hello --

I apparently noobed it up and accidentally sent a transaction without attaching a fee (usually bitcoin-qt yells at me, but apparently not this time?): https://blockchain.info/tx/ef9db135e0700759ac547a3bbc059cc06b712eca9b362c0fc4fbb14d60151510
This is a lot of BTC for me as a small potato o_o

Now it seems to be stuck and in a long queue and not being picked up by miners. Is there anything I can do about it? The position in the queue keeps going back, presumably because of the huge volume in transactions during this rally... But do I just have to wait indefinitely?

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Nothing you can really do. I sent plenty of transactions without a fee and the longest wait I've experienced is 36 hours. So, patience.
