Yup. I just added this domain to our disposable list for one of the worlds largest social media apps.

ronnieron Email.ml – Minimalist Temporary Email

https://temp-mail.org/ Is one of the harder ones to block. The use unique domains with unique Mx records and cycle through ip addresses. All seem to be on digital ocean though

ronnieron US spends billions on roads rather than public transport in 'climate time bomb'

It's rarely mentioned but in some areas it's just not worth taking public transportation because of the risk you'll get harassed, beat, or killed -- that's a factor as to why some will not use public transportation.

ronnieron Mark Zuckerberg says Quest 3 'is the better product, period'

None. Of the people I know who have one, use it for the first couple of weeks then rarely touch it ever again. My son would rather play pc games.

Only thing I’d like to use one is to watch movies in bed.

ronnieron Wi-Fi jamming to knock out cameras suspected in nine Minnesota burglaries

This is taken a lot more serious than running red lights, and yes, they will get you. A guy in Florida was using a jammer in his car to block phones when he was driving. They found it.

ronnieron GitHub Spam

Yeah of course not always, but the vast majority of it is.

ronnieron GitHub Spam

Also github pages and "app" pages are used to distribute scam dating site spam on social media platforms. The bad actors try to use the domain reputation of github to evade detection. It's extremely bad and seems to be out of control on github.

Another thing, men, please, PLEASE, stop falling for these scams. No, beautiful women will not message you at random and show interest in you. Even unattractive ones won't. Please stop falling for these scams. Tell everyone you know to stop falling for these. If a random woman messages you to meet for sex, it's a scam. Do not fall for it, it will seem real and authentic, it's not. If you send nudes they will extort you out of money.

ronnieron Facebook incorrectly reports personal blog to DigitalOcean for phishing

No it's not DO specific. It's just that DO is popular for whatever reason.

ronnieron Facebook incorrectly reports personal blog to DigitalOcean for phishing

Yes, see my comment on the main thread. DigitalOcean is highly abused by bad actors by hosting scam websites, email domains, and vpns.

ronnieron Facebook incorrectly reports personal blog to DigitalOcean for phishing

DigitialOcean is a hotbed for hosting spam/abusive domains, spam/abusive email hosting (used to host temp emails for creating fake accounts on other platforms), and hosting abusive VPNs/proxies.

The good thing is, this is very easy to detect when things are hosted on DO.

The bad news is, companies are harsh on DigitalOcean and will have some level of false positives.

ronnieron Woman with rectifier and electric car (1912)

Yes. A bus broke my s plaid window with a rock. Had it fixed within a week. Dropped it off in the morning and had it back by 4pm

ronnieron Woman with rectifier and electric car (1912)

The fsd is magic. Watching it make turns etc.

And for my S plaid, it will beat anything on the road. Any super car or hyper car, it will take in 0-60 and the quarter mile.

The sound system is extremely good.

And the fact that my car has a gpu with steam and wireless controllers is a very cool feature. Playing street fighter in my car on an 18” screen is extremely neat.

ronnieron Woman with rectifier and electric car (1912)

Same, I also have two Teslas. 21 Y and a 23 S Plaid. What an experience to drive every day, absolutely love both of them.

ronnieron Where Johnny Cash came from

What was lost was hard work ethic and the perspective of how good life is now, respect for others, and we've gained some arrogance from never having to suffer.

I had an odd life, I lived in the projects as a child until I was sent to my grandfathers farm for 6~ years, and after that, back to the violent city I had originally lived in. I was at a huge disadvantage compared to my peers but from the hard word I was subjected to in those 6 years (work ethic it taught me), pure luck of getting into computer science (thanks to John Carmack via doom/quake), and meeting the right people, I was able to work much harder than those around me and rise up quickly through the worlds biggest tech companies, make a ton of money to the point where I was able to retire at 40 (though I didn't and still work).

To answer your question, in my view, that's what was lost -- a connection to brutal hard work that keeps the world moving forward.

ronnieron Where Johnny Cash came from

Yup, 7 days a week with my grandfather. I'm 44 now, he's 96 and still going strong but without the farm since he got too old to run it and simply retired.

But yeah, 7 days a week I'd tend to the turkeys, cattle, dig potatoes, pick tomatoes (we grew a lot of vegetables) , cut hay, rake hay, fluff hay, etc. Being 7 years old on a tractor cutting hay all day was extremely fun. We'd also make the square bales of hay and being 7 or 8, I wasn't strong enough to lift them, so I'd drive the truck with a trailer and my grandfather would be behind loading the square bales. We'd do this for hours in the heat (I had the easy part), he had pure raw strength. We had almost 200 acres of land.

ronnieron Where Johnny Cash came from

> The Man in Black grew up in Dyess, Arkansas, in a community of poor farmers working government land.

Similar. I grew up in Arkansas for 6 years of my childhood working on a turkey farm until I was 11~. Hard work ,7 days a week for 6 years working with turkeys and cattle. Something is lost today by most kids being removed from hard work, I think. Defiantly brings a different perspective going from that to working in the largest tech companies

ronnieron Porsche summons old-school cool with the 2024 911 Sport Classic

You should look again. The plaid beats the Taycan in the Nurburging. None subjective things about the plaid vs taycan

* plaid faster 0-60

* plaid faster quarter mile

* plaid has more range

* plaid has faster nurburing times

* plaid costs less

ronnieron Porsche summons old-school cool with the 2024 911 Sport Classic

My Tesla S Plaid has 1020 hp and 0-60 in 2 seconds. It never gets old. New plaids start at $92,000.

ronnieron Who makes the most reliable new cars?

A lot of it is likely software update that they call "recalls" etc. But just guessing. I have two and they are very reliable.

ronnieron Tesla Model 3 fault rate is the highest of any car: report

Also have a Y. Loved it so much I got a plaid too

ronnieron Tesla Model 3 fault rate is the highest of any car: report

I can only speak for myself, but I have two Teslas and I'll never go back to another car after this point unless it's substantially better. I don't have any issues with mine and the speed and technology never gets old. Daily driving a car that beats super cars in 0-60, the quarter mile and tops out at 200 mph is a pretty awesome experience (and combined with the self driving, audio system, and giant screen with maps, and a GPU that plays Steam games).
