Ok finally, I just crunched the numbers on my mbox and I been sending email like I've never before in the last year or so. The side effects of running bgp.tools semi-full time !
one honk maybe more

@benjojo you're close to what I am doing now, a quick estimate shows I'm stable around 325 emails per month for the first half of this year, but a bit less than 300 in February for obvious reasons.

People warned me against turning my passion into a job about how I would hate it. I don't even hate my job, but they sure didn't warn me about of time I would spend emailing people

Also deeply amused at the script that produced that graph was basically processing email/eml/mbox at over 2gbit/s Computers sure are fast these days!

@farhaven t'was only temporary, I don't really like having my whole mbox sitting on my desktop, so it was just a holding ground since my /tmp was not big enough to hold the entire file

Update to the "how is Ben's life doing" as measured by email. I'm not entirely at what point this nose dives into flames.

@demize It's safe to say I've gotten over any reservations I had around sending email/messages to people. I barely even think before hitting Ctrl+Enter now

@demize That being said, I still prefer email to getting random telegram/discord/IRC/etc from my customers/prospects. So much that I redirect them on purpose into email. It's just so much easier to manage a lot of email than it is instant messaging, since lots of email is not a uncommon problem for someone to have. The other issue is that I've now developed email client opinions, even though I use web gmail still, I yearn for the old school office outlook... I totally understand some of the features that exist in that program now
