Updating Zabbix mysql tables with wrong collation

First run this

mysql -B -u zabbix -pxxx zabbix -e 'SELECT CONCAT("ALTER TABLE ", TABLE_NAME," CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;") AS ExecuteTheString
FROM information_schema.`COLUMNS`
WHERE table_schema = "zabbix" AND COLLATION_NAME = "utf8_general_ci";'

After that paste command output to another

mysql -B -u zabbix -pxxx zabbix -e '<paste here>'

Adding IEEE copyright notice on bottom margin

To put notice on the margin (not in first column as many does) following latex code can be used:

before \begin{document}

 \usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancypagestyle{firststyle}
{
\fancyhf{} % sets both header and footer to nothing
\fancyfoot[LO]{978-1-xxxx-xxxx-4/21/\$31.00~\copyright2021 IEEE}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} % remove horizontal rule
}

after \maketitle

 \thispagestyle{firststyle}

thunderbird command error 12

If Thunderbird chowws “…command error 12”

mail.server.default.send_client_info

by default it is TRUE. toggling it to FALSE will stop tbird from sending the “ID command”. The error seems to be happening with some servers that _claim_ to support that command but return an error when it is used.
