Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.

The answer to this will depend on where you live, because differing local regulations and economies will result in differing available options. Where I live, no-one would need to ask because there are specific collection points at the doors of all the supermarkets. (more) |

A: What happens to TLS name constraints when the client does not support them? If both the CA and the client software follow the RFC, the client software will refuse the cert. Section 4.2 (Certificate Extensions) of the RFC you link states > ... Each extension in a certificate is designated as either critical or non-critical. A certificate-using system MUST reject the ce... (more) |

Two corrections: LE recommends rotating certificates every month, but they're valid for 3 months; and it's possible to use certbot with a DNS plugin to authenticate instead of serving a challenge response over HTTP, so your machine only needs outbound access and credentials for a supported DNS server...

Yes, it is, although my best guess is that there isn't a specific notation and natural language words are used instead. (more) |

"Resign" is an odd choice of word. Realistically you would simply refuse to take the oath of office, so you would never hold the office and therefore wouldn't be resigning it. (more) |

All of those examples are in the intersection between mathematics and TCS, and I see questions about automata and complexity theory on sites like Math Overflow. (Proving the correctness of DFS/BFS would be closed there as not research rather than as not mathematics). math.codidact would welcome good ... (more) |

It's perfectly possible to cache in a way which doesn't expose you to MitM: you store a whitelist of (host name, certificate hash, last checked timestamp) tuples. That can save having to redo the potentially expensive walking of the chain back to the root.
Another way that caching can be relevant ... (more) |

Occupying the same ecological niche as a native species is precisely the kind of thing that makes a non-native species problematic, unless it's outcompeted and fails to establish itself in the ecosystem. And, in fact, *Branta canadensis* is listed as an invasive species in northern and central Europe... (more) |

Why does it matter whether it's been *classified* as invasive? Isn't the important question whether it's native or not, for which a list of native species is more useful than a list which might not include the species I'm looking at because I'm the first person to see it? (more) |

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "official list of invasive species". Are you drawing a distinction between a registry of sightings of non-native species and some other registry, perhaps of species that should be killed on sight if you can do so humanely? (more) |

I thought this was an international network of sites. Promoting American exceptionalism, even if only in the targetting of one site in the network, seems detrimental to the network as a whole. (more) |

I don't think we've had an explicit scope discussion on Cooking Meta, but my impression is that the Cooking site would already accept any food-related question which fits this scope. Certainly there are some questions with a quite scientific angle. (more) |

The term "open source" originated in software development but is now used more widely. If the intention is that the site is about software, I think that should be included in the name. (more) |

From a practical point of view, boardgamegeek.com is probably a better place to offer that kind of support because (a) it's forum-based, which is a better fit for discussions; (b) it shards by game, giving a stronger identity than a tag wiki entry. This comment shouldn't be interpreted as precluding ... (more) |

With respect to "Questions regarding which technology is better to use to make a game aren't allowed", I think the exclusion is too broad. The kind of question which I think it's trying to eliminate is better eliminated by requiring that questions be specific, which they should be anyway. I think it ... (more) |

It took me several attempts to figure out "Questions about mobile apps such as Google Analytics, HTML coding, or app marketplace optimization". I hope I'm right to interpret it as "Questions about things like Google Analytics and HTML coding in the context of mobile apps rather than websites". If so,... (more) |
