We had some fun with Gpose tonight, with @toko.etheirys.world~

Shiva and Toko standing inside an icy arena, with several spikes of Ice behind them. Toko is wielding her trademark scythe, while Shiva wields a glowing, Icy tome.

The camera is rolled to the right; Toko has a neutral expression, while Shiva is frustrated at what is evidently in front of Her: a rather familiar incarnation of Herself...

Summoner is finally level 100! *crumples over into a heap*

Vael in FFXIV with her finger resting on her chin, looking at the viewer. She is resting on the sofa with her feet crossed.

She is wearing the Neo Kingdom casting set, meant for casters. It features a long coat and a big witch hat! Alongside that are a nice pair of knee high boots and some trousers to go along.

Her outfit is primarily dyed a dark purple and black, while her trousers and boots are dyed black and a lighter purple. The latter type of purple is most clearly seen on the straps nearer the top of the boots.

A fake Windows 95 "It is now safe to turn off your computer" image, but it says "It is now safe to awoo at your computer" instead.

Anyway, here is a picture of the poor thing in its natural habitat.

A MikroTik hAP AC2 laying on its side. It is a black rectangle shaped router / access point combo. On its front is five port indicator LEDs, with a legend like you would find on a die. From left to right, they are 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1. Port 2 is active, though the LED is not lit in this photo.

MikroTik only providing 16MB of flash storage on older routers / APs really causes problems with modern day RouterOS. This is going to brick itself as soon as We attempt an in-place upgrade.

Wiring a new doorbell is going to be interesting. A lot of drilling is to be involved, this is just the transformer and circuit breaker

A small 3-module DIN rail enclosure with a Schneider Electric Easy9 3A MCB on the left, consuming one of three slots. On the right is a British General CUB1 bell transformer, occupying the last two slots. It has four voltages printed on the front - 0, 8, 12 and 24, indicating it can output different voltages depending on the terminal used.

We love it when UPS beats up boxes. Not. Whoever had this delivered a swift kick to this box which contained a monitor - the damage was sustained on the side where the LCD was facing, which had no additional padding. Somehow, the monitor works flawlessly.
