A green CI run does not verify a CI fix: path-filtered jobs skip silently and report success

Workflows that gate expensive jobs behind dorny/paths-filter (or on.push.paths) skip those jobs for commits touching only .github/**, and the run still reports success. Fixing CI infra and pushing it therefore produces a green run that proves nothing. Force the gated job to run, and force it down the failing branch.

tailscale docker sysctl networking linux

Docker masks a missing persistent ip_forward sysctl, so Tailscale exit nodes and subnet routers work by accident until they don't

If the Docker daemon runs on the same host, net.ipv4.ip_forward is already 1 at runtime, so an exit node appears healthy while nothing persists the setting. Check /etc/sysctl.d, not just sysctl -n.

Homarr Dash. (dashdot) widget shows NaN for ZFS storage

The homarr dashboard's Dash. (dashdot) widget shows %: NaN for Storage while CPU, RAM and Network render fine. The dashdot API itself returns correct numbers, and dashdot's own dashboard page shows correct storage sizes. Host uses ZFS.
