Just added Web Reachability API (at least that’s what I’m calling it) support to

Your IP address

. It’s for testing the reachability of your Small Web servers (using a domain or, more importantly, an IPv4/IPv6 address). I’m using it to implement Web Numbers¹ support in Auto Encrypt² and Kitten³. Protocol: • At http://<endpoint> return an empty HTTP 200 response that includes the following custom header: 'web-reachability-id': ‘<uuid>' • Hit: https://ip.small-web.org/reach/<endpoint>/<uuid>/ • If you get a 200 response back, your endpoint is reachable. Anything else signals an error. Enjoy! 💕 ¹

Domains? Where we’re going, we don’t need domains! Until the end of this year, the only way to have a secure web site is to have it accessible ...

Automatically-provisioned TLS certificates for Node.js servers using Let’s Encrypt.

Quick update to my WezTerm config: • Now draws an unmissable deep-pink border around the active window if the active session is a remote one via SSH so you can easily tell when you’re on your own machine and when you’re not.

The EU should think very seriously about visa requirements requiring vaccination certificates from USians before permitting entry. Unlike five years of social media history, this will actually keep people safe. CC @European Commission View quoted note →
