I&#8217;m at work and not motivated in the slightest. I have to find some things to do to keep me busy at work today or I will end up falling asleep. I don&#8217;t want to fall asleep as I really don&#8217;t like security guards that do it. So maybe I will have to get some caffeine of some sort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I did not sleep so well because I had a particularly vexing computer problem to solve. I eventually solved it when I realized that I needed a network address translation rule put into place which did the trick. I realized that routing was not working correctly from the default gateway back to the virtual machine acting as the VPN endpoint at home. Now I can access my homelab from anywhere that does not filter out WireGuard traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Okay, well I spoke too soon because I forgot to enable and start sshd on my desktop. This means I won&#8217;t be able to reach my desktop but I can reach other network services so I mostly solved the problem. I had some grand plans to get work done this afternoon and evening but that won&#8217;t happen. Instead, I am going to need to find an alternative way to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today has been a really tough day mentally, no doubt on by the fact that I am so tired and I will only have 2 days off in the next 14.
