I'd be interested to know more about the direct correlation between increased cost of housing due to enforcing building codes and homelesness. Can you share links to studies or articles about that? Thanks.

I wonder whether that type of comment is in line with Hacker News Guidelines.
In any case, blaming or demeaning scam victims (what you call "suckers" and "poor souls") only adds to the psychological damage that those people experience. There are plenty of studies, recommendations and campaigns on this issue. For example, the UK's Financial Conduct Authority has a whole section in their website https://www.fca.org.uk/scamsmart and have been running TV ads to help protect pensioners.
The clues in the Metamask and DHL phising emails may have been obvious to you and many other Hacker News readers. I received them and quickly noticed they were phising messags. However, having the skills to spot (and stop) this type of messages doesn't mean we are always able to do it. A recent blog post by Kev Quirk, an infosec expert, is a case in point https://kevquirk.com/i-was-nearly-phished/
The fact that you realised what had happened 6 months after signing the contract might give you some information about how motivated you were about this job in the first place.
Of course, this is just me guessing but it looks like you've been delaying an important decision about what you want and can do about your career. In fact, your message contains some hints about what the issue is.
Finally, not a piece of advice though, but whatever you decide, try to do it as a positive step not as a direct reaction to what happened with your current employer.
That's how radio was used for generations.
"There is no "digital data" in physical reality.
There is "analog data that is within a threshold of the bit that we decided".
Hard drive or CD doesn't read "1" or "0", it reads say (after normalization) 0.823V. Or 0.654V. Or 0.983V. The way circuit is designed decides that above some value its "1", below that is "0", but physical deterioration and material variance will change that value and it will differ bit by bit too.
It's all good when signal is strong and say all the 1's are > 0.8, all the 0's are < 0.2 but when it starts to blur (again, bad media, degradation etc.) you get bits that can be 1 one read, 0 another. And having "tri state" input that can say "ok, it's between 0.4-0.6, we can't tell whetehr that's 0 or 1" is generally rare."
It didn't matter that we made an extra effort to be available for plans (not plans with kids, adult plans). Our friends would organise something but wouldn't tell us ("We didn't ask you because you must be so busy/tired").
So it wasn't my/our experience of parenting that I regret but the experience of frienship and the assumptions that many people seem to have about how being a parent changes your relationship with the rest of the world.
I’ve been using Posteo for years and have never had any problem with spam filters.
Having said that, in the last year or so I noticed Teams is more stable and provides a better user experience. Or, perhaps, it's just me being succesful at lowering my original expectations.
