@peerside @philreynolds Something like Zerobounce would be useful to validate and score the email, you could also implement a blocklist on free domains. Pay as you go, so pretty cheap to run. zerobounce.net/docs/email-val…

@philreynolds Email and IP reputation filtering can help reduce the impact of those that get through and help form your next defense - good luck ! :-)

So, started to have a couple of bots a day registering. Got stubborn and refused to implement CAPTCHA. This might not end well 😢 I feel like I've got a few of these simple options and then I end up with Bayesian Fingerprint analysis or something Here's what I'm trying: 1/n

@philreynolds Nice. The Garden is such a class venue. Nice win too.

Got out to Celtics 76ers game last night

@mrgaryfox @Con_Keppel Same here - great machine, but @Con_Keppel wants to make little fancy coffees 😊

@Con_Keppel Sage Barista. Have it a year and love it.

Have a Nespresso machine. My tastes have elevated 😂😂😂 I want to buy a proper coffee machine that grinds beans. Advice on brands, types etc.

Not all job applicants name check the company they’re applying for but so many have forgot to change the copy/paste name. 🤦‍♂️

@saloreilly @NatBroadbandIrl We went from years away to a few months. 🤷‍♂️ Got connected relatively quickly in the end including pole and duct work.

So an update from @NatBroadbandIrl and timeline has firmed up, Jan to Dec 2026 🤦‍♂️

All your b̶a̶s̶e̶ ̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶b̶e̶l̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶u̶s̶ witty copy in one place🥴

It's obviously hax because of the C:/ prompt.

You wouldn't download a football game would you? 😂 Billboard in Belfast (from r/piracy)

Last week we celebrated the end of YC's S23 batch. It seems like a good time to share some thoughts on the batch, and on the ways YC has changed in the last year.

Vodafone's billing email has a nice personal touch.

@Daniel_Kyne @AlanMeaney @Luke_Mackey Ireland has lowest salary deposit use in Europe.

@AlanMeaney @Luke_Mackey I know more people in their 20s getting paid into their Revolut now than into traditional banks. I think there might (unsurprisingly) be a bit of an age split over security concerns with digital banks.

Irish banks (which are part owned by the government) are getting pummelled by Revolut and the *only* thing they have is security/treasury - yet they refuse to leverage this by way of interest rates returns to customers. It’s idiotic. businesspost.ie/news/big-three…

Pretty huge news announced down in Cork yesterday with Fedora coming to Silicon Macs fedoramagazine.org/coming-soon-fe…

I’m looking for a Product Designer to join the Tines team @tines_io We thrive on shipping, solving problems and building to learn. If this sounds like a good match, my DMs are open. Check out the role 👇 tines.com/careers/jobs/4…

@cmdkhalilov British Isles is correct, but some won't like it ;)

Been watching a show called Wild Isles. Great show but felt uneasy or weird when they refer to the group of islands encompassing England, Wales, Scotland, NI and also the Republic of Ireland as the British Isles. This is weird, no? 🤔

The A.I. business influencer guys must be stopped, by @readmaxread open.substack.com/pub/maxread/p/…

@mark_cummins Search is actually useful now and no need for Google-fu to try and get reasonable answers.

I never thought I'd say this, but I find myself using Bing now instead of Google. For anything more than nav queries or basic facts, GPT-4 based chat is just night and day better. I'm sure Google will catch up, but the gap is pretty embarassing right now.
