Developers, every one of your machines should have its own ssh key. Creating one is very simple. Here’s a handy one-liner by Ben McDonald that you can add as an alias to your dotfiles:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f $HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519 -C "$(whoami)@$(hostname)-$(date +'%y%m%d')"
This will create those lovely tiny ed25519 keys that we all know and love (thanks, Daniel!)
All kinds of #exoplanets orbit very close to their #star. Some look like the Earth, others like #Jupiter. Very few, however, are similar to #Neptune. Why this anomaly in the distribution of exoplanets?

When a planet reflects light from a star, this can be seen in an optical light curve as a phase dependent variation in total light coming from the system. We can observe different "phases" of the planet, and the amplitude of this variation tell us about the albedo of the planet.
@zleap possibly! For Earth-like northern light, GJ 436 b would need a magnetic field, and we don't know if it has one. If not, something vaguely like aurora can still happen if a magnetic field is induced from currents in the planetary atmosphere.
