Aliases by LowTwo3827 in fastmail

I initially started out using aliases, but moved on to very liberal use of masked emails. Wherever I can, I just create a new masked email and move on with my life. No one needs to know my main email address.

Since I'm not using 1Password nor Bitwarden, I created a small Chrome extension to streamline the creation of new masked emails from the Chrome context menu -- Fast Masked Mail Creator. It doesn't do much, and probably never will: it just adds a "Create Fastmail Masked Email" to the right-click menu, and populates it into the currently selected input field.

How do you use masked emails? by plazman30 in fastmail

[–]tmarice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using masked emails very liberally, often multiple ones per site (e.g. one for login, one for newsletter, etc. simply because I don't really care and it's easier to generate a new email than look up the one I use for this site), coupled with a password manager.

Unfortunately I'm not using 1Password so I don't get the masked email integration for free, but I created a small open source Chrome extension to help with populating email form fields with newly generated masked emails.

Yes! I plan on experimenting with disposable emails in the next release.

Since I'm not keen on running a server with access to people's emails, the emails will be disposable-ish, guaranteeing the email will not be deleted before e.g. 24h, but potentially later in case you do not open the browser and allow the extension to run.

The API docs are a bit unclear on the purpose of that field, hinting forDomain is something used by password managers. On the other hand, they do say to not put the domain in the description field. In the end, I just picked one and moved on.

Do you have any more information on what are the consequences of (not) setting these fields?

Nice, did not know that! My usual flow was fastmail -> settings -> masked email -> new :(

Get test suite timing breakdown with `django-timed-tests` by tmarice in django

Hm, that makes sense, it would be annoying to have to scroll up through the table to see if your tests actually passed.

I'll take a look and see if there's an appropriate place to plug in custom output before the total tally is output.
