Our govt won’t supply weapons, but have supplied almost 100 vehicles, body armour and other non lethal supplies. There is currently an Irish non military de-mining team at work in former occupied areas and we’ve provided generators + other equipment to assist in keeping the electric grid operating.

Have my colo kit (router and vmhost) in a data centre. My main mail is hosted at home with In and Out MX on a filtering gateway on my vm host. Home MX is just a queue in case the tunnel is down and for local redistribution.
