A stated design goal of builds.sr.ht is to never make you push weird commits just for the sake of the CI.

As I’m a freelancer, taxes includes gross salary with all charges/taxes normally payed by an employer. Not only the personal income charges/taxes.
My gross salary before taxes is more like 30k €.
