Email verification tests become unreliable when every CI job reads from the same inbox. A message from a previous run can look valid, a retry can co…
Your code builds. The tests pass. But releasing it still involves copying files, changing settings, and hoping you remembered every step. That gap i…
Email assertions are often the least explainable part of an otherwise tidy CI pipeline. A browser test can tell you that a verification link was not…
My homelab ran out, and for once it wasn't disk. It was capacity: there was simply no more memory in the Proxmox box to hand to a runner, and I'd sp…
