  • When wind speed doubles, the energy it carries increases eightfold,

    Edit: I’m wrong, see edit below!

    Huh? Kinetic energy increase is square, not cubic.

    KE=1/2 m v^2

    So every doubling of speed should increase the available kinetic energy by 4 times, not 8. 3 times the speed is 9 times the energy. Granted there are probably some efficiency gains in excess of this at the low end, but as a rule that’s just wrong.

    Edit: Cool, I learned something new! I neglected to consider it in terms of power, just thought about kinetic energy.

    So something like: KE = 1/2 m v^2

    = 1/2 ( rho V) v^2

    = 1/2 ( rho A d) (d/t)^2

    = 1/2 rho A d^3 1/t^2

    Where P = KE/t

    Thus:

    P = 1/2 rho A (d/t)^3

    = 1/2 rho A v^3

    Lots of other aspects I’m sure I have wrong, but I see how the cubic came to be.

    will all my Jellyfin traffic go through the VPS

    Yes

    and count as bandwidth used?

    Yes, twice (download from home to the server, and upload from the server to the client)

    I do the same thing - I have a 3TB limit, but usually only use 300GB, sharing Jellyfin to a dozen or so users.

    Edit: I’m sure there are plenty of good VPS providers out there, I personally have been using NerdRack for a few years now (got a VPS on special and the rate is locked as long as I keep it). Looks like they’ll do $11/year right now for a KVM VPS that’s sufficient.
