🥳 New Kitten release
The release I pushed a few minutes ago brings preliminary Web Numbers support to Kitten.
What are Web Numbers? Well, they’re just a friendlier name for IP Addresses, now that we can deploy secure sites at them. They’re also a cornerstone of how I’m implementing the Small Web.
https://ar.al/2025/06/25/web-nu…

Web Numbers
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 via a domain name. That, however, is changing. And the design of the Small Web will be changing along with it. IP addresses are about to make a comeback on the web in a big (ok, small) way, thanks to upcoming support for security certificates for IP addresses by Let’s Encrypt.

Jonathan E. Ross, 43, who murdered Renee Nicole Good, is an Enforcement and Removal Operations agent with ICE.
He has been granted “absolute immunity” by the fascist USian regime.
There’s a reason we have a system of courts and laws for dispensing justice. It’s to stop people from dispensing it using the barrel of a gun.

Who is Jonathan Ross? The ICE agent who killed Renee Good
The man who shot Renee Nicole Good is a 43-year-old firearms instructor who appears to have defended white supremacists online.
