Ah yes, that's the one! Thank you so much, maybe now that I know the manufacturer i can find it somewhere.

I've checked multiple asia stores already, will continue doing so.

Regarding making it myself: the ingredients aren' t special, but the texture is something i don't know how to recreate

thanks, this might be just the comment I needed! Some of the screws are sunk into a very deep hole (~60mm), so it would be tough to cut a slot into those. But i'll give it a try on one of the more exposed screws, just to see if that gets me anywhere.

true, looking at second pic it's very hard to make out. I tried to capture it on the first picture, but it's not that good

yeah, it is inverted (or "external" torx according to your link). They also made sure to sink the screws into a whole where no pliars will fit...

It's not completely stupid. One pissible issue: when the light level is around the threshold, slight variations (think: cloud passing by) will cause the relay to switch back and forth quickly. This can be solved with some additional parts (keyword: hysteresis).

I would recommend using a microcontroller, it makes this problem easy to solve, plus you can have more logic to trigger the lights (eg time based).

Another thing is turning off: if it's purely based on light level, you need to make sure the sensor does not "see" any of the LED light, otherwise it thinks the sun is back up

I'm mindlessly scrolling through lemmy, for the glory of the empire!

[-] nilclass@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 6 months ago

This is the way.

Luckily the postgresql docs have links for exactly that

Dude, that's genius! What if we also attached a thousand motors that spin on each key you press and press a thousand other keys in turn?

Is this how car culture emerged?

Make one of those apps Wikipedia and you won't have that issue
