These are GeePeeYoos probably — you can mine bind coin on them!
Well, 20 years ago you could 🤭

@Hyolobrika
Woke up at 4 and can't fall asleep for some reason.
I can be hanging out on Fedi or watching some silly YouTube show — so Fedi it is 😉
I might take a melatonin pill later and attempt to catch some sleep still while it's not too hot. Weather is probably the reason — it feels like it should rain, but it doesn't.

@Tony
I'm not sure about the helmets in particular, but I see them wearing vests labelled "press" quite often — it might increase the chance for them be treated differently if they get captured and might even save their life, so why not? 🤔

@Hyolobrika
Of course it does! I could be somewhere doing all this nasty stuff instead of hanging out on Fedi at 6 AM 😆

@Tony
At this point it might be an advantage — if you're old and stout and wear suspenders, you might as well be in the business of pissing people off just for fun 😈

@Tony
This explains why belts are more popular 🤣
I mean, you can probably use suspenders and not look like a dork, but if you're old and stout, it always tends to look somewhat like this — especially when you're sitting.

@Tony
Isn't this the way you always wear them with suspenders? Otherwise they might pull down way too low 😂

Раньше такое практиковалось в структурах Правительства Москвы по причине влиятельности Марата Шакирзяновича: для того, чтобы добиться некоторого успеха, приходилось стать татарином 😂

@mirabilos
Maybe I should just use IM like Matrix for these, but email is what I'm more used to and what I'm more comfortable with 🤷

@mirabilos
Yes, I'm also getting rid of all the unnecessary ones, but I'm talking about the notifications I send to myself from scripts — like transmission-daemon finishing downloading the movie I want to watch, or command finishing execution — building gcc on an old PowerPC machine might take hours or might break midway, and instead of chiming in every now and then over ssh to check on it, I can use notification. There is nothing sensitive in this type of messages, so privacy isn't a concern.

@Hyolobrika @Amikke
Yeah, and I've even been thinking about it, but ultimately decided against it — they don't get released on a regular enough basis to justify the effort 😁

@mirabilos
I might start migrating off ProtonMail for my domains at some point, but it won't solve this particular issue, I still need a third-party provider for these notifications, when it's just a short script, it's the script itself that might fail, and msmsp might not be able to reach the SMTP server, if it would use my server, it might go down too, or temporary be unable to deliver the message — too many moving parts. And I might want alerts about the mail server going down too 😂

@pyrate
Works fine for one-off registrations — but not for my use case: sending messages out. If something like that existed, it would be exploited by spammers and I would be uncomfortable giving out my real email address — the one I send notifications to, to a service that I'm unsure whether I can trust.

@Hyolobrika @Amikke
Or maybe video just isn't my medium altogether — it never happens to me: when I come to watch one video and find myself hours later watching entirely different, I don't get "sucked into" all this. It happens with Wikipedia even, but with YT I usually just get bored 🤷

@Hyolobrika @Amikke
Well, maybe I just didn't find the people who would be right for me — I'm a huge fan of a couple of comedy shows on YT, all episodes of which I have downloaded and I watch them locally. And when a new episode gets released, I yt-dlp it and forget about YouTube for another month.

@mirabilos
Yes, good point! It's reasonable to jump ships and use a different e-mail provider, but something I have a weird feeling that all the free ones are like that, I have no valuable information in some of these accounts — and yet everyone seem to go full-on with their security measures as if someone's life depends on it. They should just add an option "I don't care about this account" — something like it 😂

@mirabilos
…and update .netrc or scripts themselves on different machines. I hate it! Nearly an hour of time completely wasted on this nonesense 😩
But as this doesn't happen often enough, I'm still too lazy to automate it or look for a different email provider to do this — still, every time a major frustration!

@mirabilos
For me it's MS — as outlook.com has an easy way to use SMTP, I use it in different scripts to send notifications which should work even when other machines on my home network are down. And every time I'm stupid enough to use TOR for a browser that is logged into my MS account I have to go through this: change the password six times to reset it back to the old one, generate new unique passwords for legacy software — these ones are used to connect to SMTP…

Very hello to you! 🥴
