Well, if you want an atmosphere to start with, might try running numbers for sulfur hexafluoride. I don't know if it'd be your best option, but I'd guess that it'd be up there if you can keep the object warm enough for it to be a gas.

https://www.epa.gov/eps-partnership/sulfur-hexafluoride-sf6-basics

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) is a synthetic fluorinated compound with an extremely stable molecular structure. Because of its unique dielectric properties, electric utilities rely heavily on SF₆ in electric power systems for voltage electrical insulation, current interruption, and arc quenching in the transmission and distribution of electricity. Yet it is also the most potent greenhouse gas known to date. Over a 100-year period, SF₆ is 23,500 times more effective at trapping infrared radiation than an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂).

I don't know how to calculate albedo, but I'm sure that there are Web pages out there talking about it.

EDIT: If all you care about is keeping the body warm via solar radiation and you don't care about it specifically using purely the greenhouse effect, you could use space mirrors in orbit.

I'm not familiar enough with Cloudflare's error messages --- or deployment with Cloudflare --- to know what exact behavior that corresponds to, but I'd guess that most likely it can open a TCP connection to port 443 on what it thinks is your server, but it's not getting HTTPS on that port or your server isn't configured to serve up the right certificate for that hostname or the web server software running on it is otherwise broken. Might be some sort of intervening firewall.

I don't know where your actual server is, may not even be accessible to me. But if you have a Linux machine that can talk to it directly -- including, perhaps, the server itself -- you should be able to see what certificate it's handing back via:

        $ openssl s_client -showcerts -servername akaris.space IP-address-of-actual-server:443


  

That'll try to establish a TLS connection, will send the specified server name so that if you're using vhosting on the server, it knows which site to return, and then will tell you what certificate the web server used. Would probably be my first diagnostic step if I thought that there was a problem with the TLS handshake on a machine I was running.

That might provide enough information to you to let you resolve the issue yourself.

Beyond that, trying to provide much more information probably isn't possible without more information about how your server is set up and what actually is working. You can censor IP addresses if you want to keep that private.

I think a problem would be Pluto not having the gravity to hang onto much atmosphere.

This timeline.

What is it?

Software package whose instances can federate with Lemmy instances.

More limited native client support is probably the most prominent downside to PieFed that I'm aware of. Use Interstellar for PieFed; it can also do Lemmy and Mbin. Usable, but not as mature as Eternity on Android. Getting more development than Eternity, though.

Biggest PieFed feature that I'm aware of that Lemmy doesn't have is migration of communities. Was really useful for lemm.ee communities, as that instance was going down, and PieFed instances could import their history if a mod wanted to do a migration. I haven't really gone looking for features, though.

From a developer standpoint, Lemmy is written in Rust, PieFed in Python, and Mbin in PHP.

I would donate to support lemmy.today, as I'm using an instance and it has costs, but the admin has said that he's currently not interested in donations.

I believe I donated to Ernest's coffee fund back when I was using kbin.social. Can't recall how much, though. Was a while ago.

I recall it being more about WW2 than Hitler. I enjoyed it, but you can find better military history on YouTube these days.

I assume that it's legal to ride a gasoline-fueled moped in the bike lane. Does this make everyone happy?

No wonder agile is hated

I think that the basic ideas are reasonable. Keep in touch with your team and evaluate the current situation, track progress, stuff like that.

It's just that the excessive codification of the practices becomes overbearing.

Byte order in which Unicode encoding? UTF-16LE?

Dutch uwu speak

Logically, it makes sense that this exists, but still not something that I've ever thought about.

Why not just not play them if you don't like them?

I think that hunting games are not fun at all, but I can very easily address that by just not playing them, which avoids starting a fight with people who do like them. If I decided "I need to tell people to play games as I see best" and impose a ban, I'd be going out and starting a fight with people that just doesn't need to happen.

I could definitely use a supplemental e-ink display, though I think that the touchpad is too small. E-ink works very well in well-lit environments, like outdoors in the sun, where LCD displays don't do well.

I think that a more realistic route for laptops to have a supplemental eInk display is having the laptop have a protective cover that flips open and sticking a touch e-ink display on the back side of the laptop lid. Then you use the laptop as a tablet in that mode. I believe I recall seeing a smartphone manufacturer that did a dual LCD-eInk display on opposite sides of the phone.

Ah, gotcha. What type of cheese did it turn into, out of curiosity?

I've had no problem with various tools to compute ReplayGain levels. I currently use bs1770gain.

What about volume normalization is problematic for you?

I wouldn't. I'd leave things at now.

I think that the Internet has pretty much monotonically improved over time. Oh, sure, there are some things that I miss, but overall? Today wins solidly. Today:

• Bandwidth is much higher.
• Availability is much more widespread.
• Security is a lot better in most respects. Used to be most traffic on the Internet wasn't encrypted.
• Flash and ActiveX are gone on the Web.
• IPv6 is widely available, alleviating address constraints.
• Email spam is more or less solved, though it does make running your own mail server today a pain.
• Open source is a lot more widespread and mainstream.
• I'd say that the reliability of a lot of online services is better.
• The widespread use of containerization and VMs has dramatically reduced the cost of having a small server in a datacenter.
• GOG and Steam are pretty amazing ways to buy video games. The selection is inexpensive, readily available, and ludicrously vast.
• Ditto for Amazon compared to brick-and-mortar plus mail order.

I liked the first book a lot, and recall liking the series less as it went on.

I guess...uh...that it'd be less dense, so that'd dick up tides on Earth.

https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/moonfact.html

Mean density (kg/m³): 3344

https://eurekamag.com/research/001/061/001061121.php

At 8 deg C, mean densities of blockformed and conventionally-hooped cheeses were, resp., 1.094 and 1.091 g/ml.

So that's 1094 kg/m³.

Basically, Earth's tides would be about a third as strong, which I imagine would affect a bunch of things, especially coastal ecology. Dunno how much tides affect weather.

Also, probably alters the reflectivity of the Moon, so would affect the brightness of the Moon. Might affect a lot of nocturnal critters and such. Hard to estimate, since that depends a lot on what cheese is involved.

Less energy density, though.

On the other hand, maybe a less-fire-risky battery would be grounds for increasing the current 100Wh maximum that the FAA places on laptop batteries.

While details of the Pentagon's plan remain secret, the White House proposal would commit $277 million in funding to kick off a new program called "pLEO SATCOM" or "MILNET."

Please do not call it "MILNET". That term's already been taken.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MILNET

In computer networking, MILNET (fully Military Network) was the name given to the part of the ARPANET internetwork designated for unclassified United States Department of Defense traffic.[1][2]
