WHY DO COMPUTERS HATE ME?!?!?!?

I just spent a pleasant evening fixing a stupid edge case in my code regarding phone numbers in Northern Ireland and in San Marino (see toots a few weeks back for details). So that I can thoroughly test my fix I need to rebuild everything with the latest version of all the data. And now I have an #IPv6 problem. Or maybe a #DNS problem. Or maybe just a My Network problem, who knows. GRARGH!!!!!

... and naturally, the tests failed, because Past Me wrote tests for some *especially* weird edge-cases that weren't tickled on my dev box. But they *were* tickled by the Github workflow that deliberately sets those edge cases up! Yay for Past Me!
