💬Readers added context they thought people might want to know “Europe is hurtling toward digital vassalage. Under Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, EU laws to tackle tech giants have been either not applied or delayed, for fear of offending Donald Trump. Now leaked documents reveal that the European Commission plans to gut a central part of Europe’s digital rulebook. This will hurt Europe’s innovators and hand the future of Europe’s tech sovereignty to US firms.”

The EU has let US tech giants run riot. Diluting our data law will only entrench their power | Johnny Ryan and Georg Riekeles

The GDPR is Europe’s defence against digital oligarchy and child harm. Deregulation plans are misguided, say Johnny Ryan and Georg Riekeles

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 ...

auto-encrypt

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