@danishcookies mods have very messed up sleep patterns, never be so sure

@maple that's a good chonky calculator right there

@natalie@masto.ninja oh yeah, these are just the plain boring ones

@natalie@masto.ninja was wrong about it being 600, it's only 300, which is still ridiculously bright

@natalie@masto.ninja just a cheap 12v power supply, needs about 40W so one of those ones that looks like it's for laptops

haven't tested it with a power meter or anything but I'm assuming it's not too much

@penguin42 your standard LED strip like you can get from amazon or just about anywhere else, comes as a self adhesive tape with LEDs along it, costs about a tenner for 5 metres then you just need a 40W 12v power supply

no, wait, I was wrong, it's 300 of them, 60 per metre

600x 5050 SMD LEDs are quite bright

@natalie@masto.ninja H

and on the nth day, sam put a shitload of LED lights in their dad's new shed, and you could see bloody everything

@maple is mayor of computerfairi.es

@LoveyDoveyArcticWolf@otherkin.club oh wait, yeah, there was that Tugs spin-off

All is explained, they got dragged there on a barge or sommat by the tugs

@LoveyDoveyArcticWolf@otherkin.club I'd like them to explain how the hell they managed to get a bunch of trains to australia

I propose #mapleMonday

a day of the week on which we all love and appreciate @maple a little louder than we usually do

@maple and thank you for doing all the complicated sysadminy things!

virtually no british person can remember the words to the national anthem

we can all, however, remember the entirety of Mr. Brightside by The Killers

I'm not entirely sure what that says about us
