oh right I thought 20A input to that psu

ah, no

its a 5m run, so even if we assume a 100 mV sag/meter, its still pretty shit

20A for entire strip. ~60 mA/pixel

Eh, my 20+ years of work experience is worth more

Certifications have their uses, but experience is generally more useful for employment once you reach a certain point in your life/career
I've gathered various ones over the years, and none of them made any actual difference
formal crow
I feel like experience will teach you so much more than a piece of paper is worth and often times people lose sight of that
clever mortar
Certs can be good for showing that you've got a certain set of knowledge (PRINCE II, CISSP, etc), but they don't usually indicate how well you can use that
formal crow
Here's the problem I see with Certifications mainly speaking about a degree tho is it's just memorization so for a person might run into the smallest issue that they haven't seen before and freak out and say it can't be done but with experience you'd know that you you've gotta take a step back understand what's going on and learn how to solve the problem at hand.

Well, sometimes. I've seen people with "experience" who couldn't think their way out of a paper bag, and people with certs only who can
Time served != experience

Good morning,
I have a question about on how to sync time on a D1 mini esp32 with HA on reboot.
I am not sure where to ask, so i put it here, hoping you guys can tell me on which channel i should pose my question.
(since here it is off topic...)

Channel topic says if you don't know, ask in #general-archived - but in this case more #diy-archived
That said, HA doesn't have any NTP service

what is the strip connected to?
30A 5V
crisp sapphire
strip pulls ~75W without accounting for heat loss. With heatloss its probably closer to 125W
crisp sapphire
I mean does it have anything to spread the heat to
Yes. Im not worried as its got a thermal cutoff and is rated for 30A which gives me a 36% margin for things like heatloss
strip is rated 18A.
orchid rose
Then I wouldn't worry about it getting a bit warm. Get a ir thermometer to check out how hot it get if you are worried

no, i mean double insulated as in there is a slim plastic sheet between the metal box and the wires
its such a beefy supply that it dosnt much cooling

I was referring to the part where A) the AC screw terminals are RIGHT next to the DC screw terminals, and B) you have unshielded DC next to unshielded AC.
All it would take is for one wire to pull out slightly, and kzzrt
And with how stiff those cables are, that could happen when you slide the sofa back against the wall

lol ig you havent seen the clerence on modern day supplies. I see no safety hazard in having standard mains wiring next to LVDC when its properly insulated, which i deem this to be
