On the death of Tsar Nicholas I in 1855, a small group of citizens in the city of Vaasa tendered a petition to change the name of the city after him. The name of the city came from the Royal House of Vasa and despite that only 15 citizens were backing the proposal the name of the city was changed to Nikolaistad (Russian: Николайстада, Finnish: Nikolainkaupunki).

In 1960 the eastern part was separated as the Province of Central Finland. In 1997 it was reunited with Central Finland, together they merged with the northern part of the Province of Häme and the Province of Turku and Pori to establish the new Province of Western Finland.

The former province corresponds to the current regions of Ostrobothnia, Central Ostrobothnia and Southern Ostrobothnia.

gollark: With Express.js the server thing would look *very roughly* like this:```javascriptconst express = require("express")const multer = require("multer")const app = express()const upload = multer({ storage: multer.memoryStorage(), limits: { fileSize: 2**22 // 4MiB maximum filesize }})app.get("/image", (req, res) => { res.send(loadImageFromSomewhere())})// send upload form HTML - you would need to write this tooapp.get("/upload", (req, res) => res.sendFile("upload.html"))app.post("/upload", upload.single("file"), (req, res) => { saveImageSomewhere(req.file.buffer)})app.listen(8700, () => console.log("listening")) // listen on port 8700```
gollark: I mean, you could use PHP too. I don't like it. But you could.
gollark: What I might do, though there are probably many ways to: make a program in Node.js or whatever (personal preference) which responds with whatever image is set to any requests for that, and which allows you to upload an image, converts it to the right format, then saves it to be sent when the ESP requests it.
gollark: And you want to be able to upload pictures to some sort of web thing to send to the ESP?
gollark: That... sounds possible though I don't know exactly what you mean.
