The owner of this account is wearing wizard robes and showing off the 6 newly acquired rings on their fingers. From left to right, I'd describe them as 'square with rounded edges', 'silver band with beveled edges', 'speckled blue/black rock band', 'semitranslucent pink', 'thick silver band with vertical zebra stripe-like lines', and 'tungsten inlay on black band'. This brings the total amount of rings owned by this account holder to 6.

A selfie outside under the cold blue sky. I'm wearing clear-framed reddish-tinted IR blocking glasses and a black shirt with a white ascii guillotine. There's a pair of noise canceling headphones around my neck.

An image of my lab in its current (messy) state. In the rack on the left, top down, there's a laptop, a Juniper 1g switch, a pair of Juniper 10g switches with only #2 powered on, a Poweredge R440 (firewall), a Poweredge R640 (pve server), a Poweredge R740xd (truenas server), a Poweredge R430 (media storage), and a UPS. A large 0u pdu is strapped to the back post with a piece of bright orange paracord, and has a pile of power cable spaghetti laying on the floor below. On the mini fridge to the right there are some 40g/100g Juniper switches that are powered off, with another Poweredge R640 on top which stores my backups. There's a cable sticking out from the back of that server connected to the tape drive laying on top of it. A purple tape is visible inside. In the background a yellow 'no step on snek' flag is visible, as well as several boxes and bins.

I went to run a tcpdump to dig into this and it just started working. Not gonna argue. I have to do some fiddling with some of the filters and my hsflowd startup config but it's working great!

I got Akvorado working which is great; I love seeing metrics especially as it relates to inter-network communication now to find out why half of my traffic is showing up from SRCAS 0 - DSTAS 0 - my initial guess is my wireguard interfaces being classified as AS0 even tho they are internal?

after destroying Demolior I decided to load up an old (doomed) save to get the achievo for surviving 100 cycles post-impact I made it 1 cycle. 4/5 dupes burned to death once the magma destroyed a majority of the center of my colony, the remaining dupe burned shortly after due to steam exposure

a screenshot of an Oxygen Not Included colony, after Demolior impact. You can see Demolior on the top-center, surrounded by a small gap which previously held superhot magma. That same magma is now dripping down through the colony, superheating all of the oxygen and cooking my duplicants from the outside. 0/10 do not recommend
