why is the internet so much like me I hate relatable memes
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

@meqif@octodon.social yep, the aliexpress sellers will usually give you the SK9822 but they're interchangeable so its fine

@meqif@octodon.social I tend to use the Arduino framework for them, works well enough for led animations etc

These LEDs are a through-hole WS2811 variant, because the mushroom caps were made for 3mm, and I had those laying around

For my other projects I tend to always use the SK9822/APA102. It has a clock line so is usually less affected by distance, and the higher pwm speed makes them less annoying to people that are sensitive for that

@meqif@octodon.social yep, the esp32 is cool but the esp8266 nodemcu is already overkill for this project lol, esp01 might've been better but those can be kinda annoying to work with

Looking for comfy rooms about specific topics? I bridged all of them to Matrix again. You can find them all there in the +hall:pixie.town community, or:

These mushroom hat thingies are from a super cheap aliexpress bedroom light (80 cents), and I took those and put them on addressable leds.
Then I sawed off this log, and hollowed it out to fit the esp8266 and led protoboard.
Really love the result, it will be a gift for a friend :3

GUI pet peeves ("got it!") 

@polychrome I see, thanks for the feedback!

GUI pet peeves ("got it!") 

@devurandom@cybre.space @feonixrift @polychrome hmm, would "I understand" be better? Just "Ok"?

GUI pet peeves ("got it!") 

@feonixrift @polychrome could someone explain this to me? Im non-native but I don't find them too bad

Having pronouns in your bio is important to normalise the practise, not just gor trans people but everybody. If only trans people do it, then it becomes a marker of who is trans, if you all do it then it's just a standard thing. I know it can be annoying to be asked over and over yo do it, but it is important

doing row reduction n shit, I really do like the Matrix.org project more than this linear algebra garbage...

This is a formal request for pictures of birds. You do not need to have known or seen the bird yourself.

I have a friend who is sad, and she likes birds. She specifically likes birbs, borbs, kiss a bird gently, and rond fluff bois.

I would like to send her images of the above. thank u all 🖤

Help yourself.

Watch firefly.
