    A little late but Fastmail can combine simplelogin and purelymail, especially if used in conjunction with 1Password (password management). For example, let’s say my fastmail email is myfastmail@mydomain.tld.

    When I subscribe to tildes (as an example), I can either just enter tildes@myfastmail.mydomain.tld or use fastmail or the 1Password integration to generate random.email123@fastmail.com.

    With the former, I just use any email in that format with no hassle (other than setting up a rule that <anything>@myfastmail.mydomain.tld goes to my inbox) and it’s super easy to track whatever is emailing that address and later go into fastmail to block if necessary.

    With the latter, the 1Password integration just generates it for me (or I manually generate it through fastmail) and I can still block it through fastmail pretty easy, but tying it to where it came from means searching for that generated email in my 1Password for that email to identify what site I generated it for.

    Now that Apollo is officially dead, I’ve deleted all my posts and edited all my comments. I used powerdeletesuite, but it only updated half of them, so I fixed the rest manually. Finally I changed the password on my account to random garbage so I have to go through the reset process if the urge ever comes up.

    This is me. My mom only cooked canned green beans and they were always mushy and gross. My husband convinced me to try fresh green beans and they are completely different! Especially when cooked...
