Immer mehr #Gärten sind nachts hell erleuchtet – doch das schadet Mensch und Tier. Denn der natürliche Hell-Dunkel-Rhythmus steuert lebenswichtige Prozesse wie #Zellregeneration und #Schlaf.

Die Initiative Paten der Nacht macht auf die Folgen von #Lichtverschmutzung aufmerksam und ruft dazu auf, #Gärten nachts dunkel zu lassen – für gesunde #Lebensräume und mehr #Artenvielfalt.

Replaced this electric lantern in the barn with a LED projector. Much less romantic yellow light, but I can actually see something in there after dark. Also I won't have to sell a kidney whenever I forget to switch it off over night.

It's actually a pretty robust and well designed housing, so I want to restore it and eventually hang it on a lamp post somehwere, with a yellow LED bulb inside.

Fun project for the office: a faux- #neon #LED sign.

My #soldering skills aren’t great at the best of times but I found these strips quite challenging to get good joints. Some are ugly, but they work.

Rebuild the frontend today looks a lot nicer now and is less horrible code wise. https://github.com/paviro/RPi-LED-Sign-Controller #ledmatrix #led #lights #rust #nextjs #node
