  • Bazzite surpasses 30k active users, gaining 5k users since two months ago 🎉

  • On Bazzite as daily driver for several months now.It's amazing and only limitations introduced by Flatpak (so not directly related to Bazzite) posed some challenges, e.g. using KeepaasXC together with Firefox or having Nextcloud sync after standby mode.The programs are running fine overall and running games is a bliss.I haven't considered installing a different OS since installing Bazzite.

  • Especially considering this was losless - strictly speaking only the compression of the SSD was... 😈

  • I can confirm the longevity part from own experience.

    I bought several used Dell Wyse 5070. The 5070 was announced in May 2018 and used as thin client.They're tiny, silent and you can fit a NVMe SSD via adapter in the WiFi card slot next to a SATA SSD. I picked the ones with Intel Celeron J4105 (Quad Core) with 1.5GHz, up to 2.5GHz burst and put 32 GB RAM in one of them.Now I have a PVE (Proxmox Virtual Environment) running with several virtual servers, one 5070 hosts a PBS (Proxmox Backup Server) and both devices are far from their limit. In case of hardware failure I have spare 5070s.Each 5070 cost around $65 and runs at around 8 watts at average.

    It fits my needs and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

  • With https as protocol, picked up data packets won't do much harm.But relying on anything but a local password manager is imho still a bad idea.

  • I think so too.With electric energy, there's no "one size fits all" solution.These novel approaches will fit somewhere.

  • Neither the kite based solution nor the blimp based solution is fit for the purpose of serving single or few people with electrical energy.For that scenario some kWp based on solar can be had for cheap and some kWh battery on top doesn't cost a fortune either.I never insinuated that the kite or blimp are the perfect solution for every scenario - rather that it may be a match for situation that couldn't be served well by the available means.

  • I can see those kites being used at remote locations, islands, remote villages, etc.Add some battery to it and you have a quite reliable source of electric energy.What option would be better in these cases in your opinion?

  • I don't know what you mean by mass use. It's pretty clear that these approaches are meant to add to existing solutions or provide off-grid energy at remote locations.If you can bring a standard 30 foot container there, you can consider such a kite installation, if other requirements are met.

    How does an ideal site look like?Q3: How does an ideal site look like?The ideal site has a flat topography with no large obstacles in the prevailing wind direction, making agricultural or unused land the ideal choice. However, certain obstacles, like trees, solar power plants, or industrial facilities, are acceptable within the operating area, but specific approval may be required. We are happy to support you in identifying the perfect site for your airborne wind energy project.

    I don't see, you can't use multiple installations at different locations aka scale it.

  • The simpler design might lead to lower prices per kWh, which will in the end play a role together with reliability, e.g min/avg power output, durability, outages.I find it impressive how creative engineers get. Let's hope for a third option ;)

  • In the end the TCO (per kWh) will play a major role, especially for big installations and for smaller ones the price floor.I suppose a helium filled blimp with 12 turbines will be more pricey than a kite with a generator. If the kite fills your need, pick that.

  • Yah, we need to have them running to get real numbers.I find both approaches promising.Ways to make electric energy available without burning fossil fuel are good.

  • Fair, but please name one single way to generate that kind of electrical power that can be fixed by a layperson in case something crashes.

  • How so, when skysails talks about "Venyo harnesses the power of high-altitude winds with speeds of 13 m/s and a continuous output of up to 200 kW." while the S1500 is featured with "Inside this duct are 12 turbine-generator sets, each rated at 100 kW."?It's more like factor 5-6.
