Density saves nature
  • What about something like that ?

    8 houses in a row, built using a wood structure and straw bale wall for insulation (thermal AND phonic insulation) and clay plaster. So the construction material is storing CO2 rather than emitting tons of CO2 like concrete does.

    It collects rainwater for the garden and has enough solar panels for the community and to contribute to the electrical consumption of the village around it.

    It leaves a lot of space for land to develop a food forest, permaculture projects and leave space for biodiversity.

    solar PV → heat pump → water heater; direct, no A/C or intermediate components. Practical? Feasible?
  • Yes, thermal solar panels would be way more appropriate.

    While trying to gain a few % through the transformation process OP is not addressing the elephant in the room: PV panels turn around 20% of the sun energy into electricity, thermal panels turn around 80% of the same energy into heat, They are way more efficient.

    Two private astronauts took a spacewalk Thursday morning—yes, it was historic
  • After Isaacman climbed back down inside, he was followed by Gillis, a SpaceX engineer who worked on spacesuits among other programs at the company.

    This is amazing, having an engineer that worked on the suit on the flight actually testing the suit in space, I'm sure it can have a huge impact on all the future improvements that will be made to the suit.

  • More specifically SpaceX got a contract to bulls the moon lander for NASA.

    So SpaceX is going to land in the moon.

    New report: Biomass CO2 emissions 4X higher than Coal | Just Have A Think
  • This video is misinformation !

    This video only talk about the total emissions of the power station, it never talk about CO2 per kWh.

    By using this logic I can easily prove that producing bikes is way more polluting than producing cars, if I take a plant that produce millions of bikes compare to a plant that produce few hundreds cars.

  • !A picture of a 3D printed router guide !A 3D Model of a router guide

    My router (makita) was supplied with a copying guide but the opening was too small.

    I've look online but I could not managed to find the right size so I did what any sane person would do: print one

    Edit: more pictures of the result !a dinosaur shaped observation tower !another picture of the observation tower with a kid standing on it

    So, I had to reinstall windows as a dualboot, because I need some CAD tools for work. It was painful but it's not thebaubject

    I'm running nixos with systemd-boot and I installed windows on another drive. I started to research how to add the entry on the boot list so I don't need to go in bios to switch the boot order each time I want to change OS.

    Most of the information I find is about grub on nixos but I finally find information on how to add a manual entry. On the Arch wiki I find some information but now I have to blend all that to make it work on my laptop.

    It's late and I'm scared to mess up my boot partition so I go to sleep to work instructions on it the next day.

    The next day I'm ready to do all that only to realized that there is already the entry for windows is already in the boot menu, it has been added automatically.

    So I spent all this time to think about how I while have to adjust my system manually only to realize that nixos already did it automatically for me.

    www.pv-magazine.com France reaches 187 collective self consumption operations, says grid operator

    French grid operator Enedis has identified 187 collective self consumption operations in France, as of the end of March. The operations bring together 2,200 consumers and more than 300 producers, generating 11 MW total power capacity, mainly from solar.

    I believe this is a very good initiative. France is allowing collective self consumption.

    It means that in an appartement building or in a neighborhood (up to 2km radius) people can organize in a collective to redistribute electricity to each other. If someone has extra production one day then he can redistribute to other people in the collective. For free or at the price they agreed upon in the collective.

    It does not need any extra hardware, it's using the existing installation from the national utility grid.

    This is exactly how I imagine a solarpunk community would work.
