Just in case you missed this article https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2026/0... I hope we'll get updated stats on newer models eventually.


It amazes me how compartmented the mind of the West is: the "protector of Democracy" is barely conscient of its own lies... There is no democracy, barely an illusion of one.


If adding something to the context doesn't help, it's only proves you're not adding the right stuff.

I'm adding pointers to specification documents, and it saves me from the /new dumb coding agent that sees your code base for the first time and knows nothing about architecture, concepts, code organisation, etc...

I'm using no cookie cutter directives though (except maybe "do not attempt to deploy, we're using CI CD to deploy" to avoid an automatic "wrangler deploy" to Cloudflare)


I really wanted to be notified of my Cloudflare builds in Pushover, since that's what I use for all my indie web apps events.

You can deploy it in minutes on your Cloudflare account.

- create an App in https://Pushover.net - click the Deploy on Cloudflare button on the Github Readme - configure the two Pushover secrets (User key and App token) in the form

Enjoy.


I've added support for an adhoc list in addition to the list I'm getting from the disposables... so now it's recognised as a throwaway address.


Well it's blocking the second one. You can't win them all.


As I've said in another comment, I'm offering a free cyber security assessment tool online and 22% of people use a disposable address, meaning they remain anonymous yet they have me scan the internet for vulnerabilities. They're not protecting themselves from me, they're protecting themselves from the consequences of their actions.

You could have asked me what reasonable use cases exist.

There are extremely valid use cases for anonymity in B2C, most likely none in B2B.


Killing people on death row is legal in some states. One should still not be proud of making weapons. I maintain my original statment: you should not be proud of what you did. Downvote me all you like.


Let me explain: I'm operating a free cyber security service and 22% of users use a disposable emails. 22% of emails bouncing is not a TINY inconvenience. Hackers using my service incognito isn't a TINY inconvenience. If you're hiding your identity, I can't offer a safer internet to everyone.

I respect your disgust, and I feel the same towards your entitlement and presumptions.

I'll fix the percentage, it's 0.01%.


i am not entitled, however, you are still punishing real users to catch those that are not your users.

even more, your false sense of security here makes it WAY worse, we just saw how someone was able to find a service you didnt catch in almost no time. in addition to that, are you willing to block @gmail, @protonmail or those? which you can sign up with in NO time. essentially your disposable email filter doesnt help you AT ALL stop someone that has even the tiniest of motivation to sign up without giving their real email address.

Just be aware that you are choosing to do actions that are roughly equivalent to what dvd manufacturers do, with unskippable intros telling you to not be a pirate, while the pirates just get contents without this.


Hi thank you! Can you share what domain it is? I'll add it to a regression test and make sure I find a more recent source of domains! I had found one, but it contained microsoft.com and google.com so...


That'd kind of defeat the purpose of that service, wouldn't it? :)

I tried again, this time just searching HN for services that offers disposable emails, I think the 3rd or fourth I tried worked, so seemingly you aren't finding them via HN comments at least, might want to go through those too.


I'm now using https://github.com/disposable/disposable which should be a pretty decent option


It feels wrong to dump identifiers to save tokens: now they're devoid of semantics, and can't be grep'ed or mapped to concepts. CPUs are good with numbers, but LLMs are good with words.
