Hah… just noticed something interesting that looks like it’s going to be another advantage to Web Numbers¹… look at these Kitten² screenshots and tell me if you can spot something unexpected.

Hint: it’s what’s missing.

There are no 404 errors for common hack attempts trying to exploit WordPress vulnerabilities, etc. In fact, it’s entirely quiet. Because those folks watch DNS :)

Hey, guess what?

I just saw the first Small Web site (the Kitten Chat example¹ from Kitten²) running at a Web Number³:

https://91.98.66.193/

👉 Update: I’m shutting it down in a few moments so it might not be there when you try it :)

Come say hi (I don’t know how long I’ll keep it on for, will update this when I turn it off.)

🥳

PS. This is only in the ip-address-support branch of Kitten right now and should be considered experimental. Will likely make it into main today.

🥳 Multiple major releases today

• @small-tech/auto-encrypt v5.0.0 (https://codeberg.org/small-tech/auto-encrypt#readme)
• @small-tech/auto-encrypt-localhost v10.0.0 (https://codeberg.org/small-tech/auto-encrypt-localhost/#readme)
• @small-tech/https v6.0.0 (https://codeberg.org/small-tech/https/#readme)

These releases bring short-lived certificates, IP Address (IPv4 and IPv6) support, and ACME Renewal Information (ARI) support to Auto Encrypt and @small-tech/https, implement a consistent asynchronous API across all three packages, and include loads of little fixes and code quality improvements.

This brings us very close to getting Web Numbers¹ support implemented natively in Kitten².

OCSP support is removed from Auto Encrypt and Windows support is dropped from all three packages as Microsoft is complicit in Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people³ and Small Technology Foundation⁴ stands in solidarity with the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Furthermore, Windows is an ad-infested and surveillance-ridden dumpster fire of an operating system and, alongside supporting genocide, you are putting both yourself and others at risk by using it.

Enjoy!
