In fact .. I want damages for loss of earnings and stress caused. The point of prison is to permanently traumatise people.

Look forward to Michael Gove decriminalisation of drugs and pardoning of all those criminalised for their distribution and use

Its annoying seeing the Tories all put their hands up to say.. "I did drugs .. but don't worry.. I'm still ok to be leader". Fucking wanker toffs.
I'm of the same generation as them, but as working class person when I got busted I went to jail. Which fucked my career and life opportunities after.

I never had a drugs problem ... Just a police problem.

@_sizeofcat The only thing left to do then was set up a bunch of port forwards from the VPN endpoint AND on the OpenWRT router, so I can get my bittorrent and SSH into the home LAN to work.

The FW rule set on Algo seemed simpler to work with than the one that came with Streisand too.
Streisand used UFW ( uncomplicated Fw) to wrap te IPTables config which I found quite complicated. 🤷♀️

Algo had some just iptables rules stored using netfilter-persistent package, whihc seemed easier to modify

@_sizeofcat I would have liked to use ipsec. Because previously I was doing a site to site ipsec so all hosts connected via that subnet could get use of the vpn.

Anyway.. re-engineered the solution to use double NAT and wireguard PtP. Setting that up via Algo and OpenWRT was easy https://danrl.com/blog/2017/luci-proto-wireguard/ helped, and adding the new wireguard interface to the WAN zone on the openWRT firewall.

I went with algo eventually - thanks @_sizeofcat , and transitioned over to using wireguard instead of ipsec.

I tried to get the algo ipsec implementation working against openWRT 18.06.2 https://openwrt.org/releases/18.06/notes-18.06.2
BUT ...

As far as I could tell the strongswan implementation in OpenWRT has no support of elliptic curves, and the certificates and keys generated by Algo were all ECDSA keys... So I gave up with that.

My friend how recieved this then said ..

Yes, but I lost it.

Also I might reflash the router to the some more modern version of OpenWRT/LEDE ... if only I can remember what router it is, and how to do it.

I am thinking of changing my VPN to use wireguard on OpenWRT and Streisand on the server.

Currently I use ipsec, but think it would make more sense to automate the process of deploying the remote end with some scripts, and I don't feel like writing my own.

Also wireguard seems like it would take a lot of the complexity out of building a ipsec configuration, so.. that's why I'm thinking about streisand and wireguard.

What magic makes the
vars.snmp_warn become $snmp_warn$

Any icinga2 experts about.

What's the difference between things like vars.disk_partition and $disk_partion$ ... My question is ... why are sometimes variables required to be wrapped in "$"'s and sometimes not

#UKPol
I am trying to find the correct word to describe UK politics...
I had .. sterile and festering.. but they don't seem to go together.
It's more stasis... A time dilation caused by black hole of brexit sucking everything in..

If we ever escape it or pass through it or get the energy to turn our gaze away from it we will catch up with the stagnant cess pond that UK society has become.

As if a TV debate for Tory leadership matters to anyone apart from 100,000 geriatric Tory members
