“It is indefensible that today that I'm canceling flights from Ireland to Italy, from Germany to Spain, from Portugal to Poland,” O'Leary said.
The budget airline chief blamed the European Union, and specifically European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, for the situation.
looks puzzled
Is the European Commission responsible for mediating union disputes?
The strike, which took place on Thursday and Friday, was over disputes between two unions and the French directorate general for civil aviation
I mean, this sounds like it's between the French government and French unions.
They apparently have some temporary desalination stuff in place now to bridge the gap, dunno what it's using.
The planned permanent plant apparently uses reverse osmosis (which, at least last time I looked, was much more widely used than distillation).

Jun 1, 2025 The planned permanent Paarden Eiland plant will be a 70 Ml/day seawater desalination plant with a multi-barrier process that will include pre-screening, dissolved air flotation, rapid gravity sand filtration, reverse osmosis, a potential advanced oxidation process, a disinfection step, stabilisation of the water, and safe brine disposal.

Are you looking for specific values in some field in this table, or substrings in that field?
If specific values, I'd probably import the CSV file into a database with an column indexed on the value you care about.
Cape Town apparently decided to use desalination.
Permanent desalination is planned because seawater is available all the time, whether it rains or not, so it’s more reliable than any other water source. About 97% of water on Earth is in our oceans. We can make use of this huge resource through the process of desalination, which makes it drinkable and usable for us. Although desalination is the most expensive supply option and there are environmental issues that need to be well-managed (such as the salty ‘brine’ it produces as a waste product), it is an important part of the diversified water supply ‘mix’ going forward.
Says they start construction in 2026 and expect production starting in 2030.
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.
Maybe they don't want to move to a cloud-based system.
I don't want a cloud-based office package, and I can imagine that the same might apply to them.
