After a long sleepless night of exhaustive pain, the old man drags his breathless lifeless stiff corpse out of a frozen sunken bed of jagged thorny shards of steel and glass, unable to yet see as the classical music plays he drags himself off to prepare his coffee, as his hands shake and tremble he pours in the water and counts the scoops of grind, fumbling he manages to plug in the percolator, as the coffee begins to perc he shuffles off to the toilet, where his bowels bellow out in a hungerous rage, in the mirror an exhausted face blankly stares off into the abyss, his hair and beard disheveled he attempts to brush them out but his hands fail to grasp the brush, stumbling back to his bed he struggles to pull on his socks pants and boots, he pours a cup of coffee and gently packs scraps of tobacco into his pipe, he stumbles out the door, the sun is making its way up on a chilly damp morning, as the world begins to rise not a soul cares for the enduring hell the old man must face yet another day;

#WERO statt #PayPal wäre ein Anliegen.
Meine Bank unterstützt NICHT

Dass ich vom Durchschnittsmenschen als Querulant betrachtet werde, ist Gewöhnungssache.
Schön, dass ich kein Einzelfall mehr bin!

Was zuletzt geschah:

#PayPal gekündigt und gelöscht.

✅ Kalender + Kontakte aus #iCloud befreit. Werden jetzt mit #DAVx5 per #CalDav und #CardDav auf meinen Geräten ( #Linux + #GrapheneOS ) synchronisiert.

✅ Fotos aus #iCloud befreit. Werden jetzt erstmal lokal gespeichert und gesichert. Evtl. folgt hier noch eine andere Lösung mit #Immich oder #ente.io.

1) Gute Alternativen & konsequentes Handeln.
Zunächst Umstieg von iOS auf #GrapheneOS. Statt #Whatsapp nur noch #signal und #threema. Wer mich nicht mehr über WA erreichen kann muss halt andere Wege finden. Der Schutz meiner Daten ist mir wichtiger als persönliche Befindlichkeiten. Proton unlimted statt iCloud. (sorry @mailbox_org - habe vorher euren Dienst genutzt, aber Proton passt besser zu meinen Anforderungen). #PayPal ersatzlos gestrichen - Sofortüberweisung klappt prima.

Da heute mal wieder der erste Sonntag im Monat ist und ich was beizutragen habe, habe ich in meinem #Blog was zum #DIDay aufgeschrieben. Nämlich, dass ich meine Zahlungen immer mehr von #PayPal und Co. nach Europa zurückgeholt habe.

Zahlungen ohne US-Dienste - #DIDay

Auf jeden von uns kommen immer mal Zahlungen zu. Wie schnell hat man da immer PayPal oder so gezückt. Aber es geht halt auch ohne US-Dienste.

@mutualaid bump, My family just realized that my father, due to be EXTREMELY sick regarding his MS, forgot to pay the electric. We are completely broke and they will shut us off tomorrow morning. We cannot pay it for another week.

This is extremely bad for us. Anything helps. Thank you so much for reading, hope you're doing well.

As the world around was crumbling, the old man typed out a random 32-bit string 00100001000000111000111000011101, completely unaware that his consciousness was tied in to the IP's of a logistical supply and command post and when reversed tied into a regional peer supply for communication, not entirely sure why this 32-bit string came out of his mind and onto a screen, with all that is happening in the world the old man couldn't help to draw correlation that both would be coordinates on a strategic map both for defense and attack, could his hyper aware consciousness be tapped into a metaphysical universe that is directly relaying information that is to come and if so where's the rest of the message;

As you find yourself falling into the whirlpool, is not the constant spinning that excites you, for the moment will come in where you find yourself repeatedly getting smacked upon the rocks, each time a little more flesh gets ripped off, it is not freezing waters that are chilling you to the core, but the constant bleeding from slapping against the rocks, your body is being torn apart by nature and bleeding you out, exhausted and the power of the water you find no way to fight, as you begin to slip under the icy waters, monsters come to feast upon what is left of you, bit by bit they consume what the whipping against the rocks failed to do, eventually you are no more no voice no face nothing but bits of mangled flesh, the world consumed your very essence without a care at all, alone to drown to the depths of hell, life has consumed you; The horror is not in what you have just read, but in the existence in where so many live, for the battles of life often are fast hard furious, and yet many of them are long slow and drawn out, in either event they often leave you battered bruised and a zombie of yourself all while the world around knows not your name your face nor the battles you face, the horror lies in the fact the world simply cares not if you live or bleed, but that you don't disrupt the conformity; For if you find yourself being pulled down, whirled around and battered by it all, find strength not in your own restraint but within your freedom to simply be;

OW, what the heck was that...

Ohhhhh, 'hi' Paypal, I see you stopped being able to send me e-mail back in October and I only just noticed. Lets take a look at why...

Apr 2 11:37:29 shards postfix/smtpd[85832]: SSL_accept error from mx0.slc.paypal.com[173.0.84.225]: Connection timed out
Apr 2 11:37:29 shards postfix/smtpd[85832]: lost connection after STARTTLS from mx0.slc.paypal.com[173.0.84.225]

And that started back on October 18th (about when EPEL switched to OpenSSL 3.5, and Postfix got updated)?

Ok, kicks and giggles lets try a newer Postfix. Nope, didn't solve it.

Sooooo disables TLS announcement to Paypal's netblock

Ohhh THAT works?

So yeah #PayPal not only has broken TLS support somewhere, but they also don't try secondary MXes listed in DNS. That's pretty epicly bad e-mail setup frankly.
