Ask HN: Custom domain name for personal email? (ycombinator.com)
Hi HN! For those who aren't using a @gmail.com, what are you using? I'm trying to migrate off @gmail.com because of platform risk, but coming up with a domain name is hard! It must be professional! Bonus points if I can share the domain with family members for their use too.

Phlex for Rails Emails: Action Mailer Without ERB (camillovisini.com)
Writing Ruby all day is fun, but writing Ruby in HTML is not. In the past months, I found switching from Ruby to ERB views and partials to be interrupting my flow and therefore increasingly annoying. Enter Phlex, which is a Ruby library that allows you to write HTML (components, views, layouts) in pure Ruby. After already completely ditching ERB for Phlex in Rails views for multiple applications, I wanted to see if I could do the same for Action Mailer.

Ask HN: Why there's no email address portability like with phone numbers? (ycombinator.com)
Phone number portability has been standard worldwide for years, allowing us to switch carriers while keeping our numbers. Yet email addresses, which have become more important than phone numbers over the last 20 years or so, lack any similar portability mechanism.

New Outlook's security issues: Businesses should avoid switching (tuta.com)
Microsoft's "new Outlook" (introduced in 2022) has been promoted as an upgrade, but its implementation introduces severe data protection concerns - so severe that it's fair to say it's a downgrade rather than an upgrade. Regardless, Microsoft increasingly pushes personal and business Outlook users to switch to the new Outlook.

Shifting Cyber Norms: Microsoft security POST-ing to you (berthub.eu)
tl;dr: Microsoft and other email security scanners will visit the links in email you transmit, and run the JavaScript in those links, including calls that lead to POSTs going out. This used to be unacceptable, since POSTs have side effects. Yet here we are. This breaks even somewhat sophisticated single-use sign-on / email confirmation messages.
