One of the exciting new features in the Kitten API version 1 release I made over the weekend is automatic updates.

When automatic updates are on, a deployed Kitten server will:

1. Check for updates to Kitten as well as the installed Kitten app at an interval that you can customise.

2. Correctly handle updates between major (breaking) Kitten versions. (In other words between Kitten API versions, e.g., from 1 to 2, 2 to 3, etc.) This includes ensuring that the installed app has a compatible version before upgrading and seamlessly handling app upgrades across breaking changes.

3. Rollbacks: if, for whatever reason, an upgrade fails, it is automatically rolled back (this includes your databases).

The only thing you need to add to your apps to take advantage of this is an `engines.kitten` entry to your package.json file set to the API version your app has been tested with (currently, should be “1”).

You can also, of course, manually update both Kitten and your app before the next check via Kitten Settings (see second screenshot) and you can also set up a webhook so that pushing to your main or release branch updates the app immediately on a single server.

If you app has a release branch, that’s what Kitten checks for updates and you can deploy, e.g., from `main`, using `git push origin main:release`. Otherwise, Kitten will check your default branch, which is usually `main`.

🥳 Kitten API version 1 is now live!

https://kitten.small-web.org

This has been the culmination of seven years of work and a “two-week” breaking change branch that turned into seven-months.

There’s too much to list in a single post but Kitten today is a very different beast to Kitten in April.

Highlights:

• Automatic updates with rollback even across API versions (breaking changes)
• New stateful Kitten Components API
• TypeScript support (and Kitten is now itself written in TypeScript)
• Improved cryptographic properties with the use of non-extractable keys via the Web Crypto API and XChaCha20-Poly1305 instead of AES-GCM for encryption
• Consistent event handling and emitting methods across the page, session, and global scopes
• Considerably increased test coverage across the unit, regression, and end-to-end tests
• Lots of hardening and security fixes

For full details, please see the change log: https://codeberg.org/kitten/app/src/branch/main/CHANGELOG.md#2026-11-07

This is the first of the triplets to be born. Hopefully Catalyst and Meow and will be following soon. Kitten is the foundation so the better it gets, the better anything built with it gets.

#Kitten #SmallWeb #SmallTech #web #dev

I’m updating the Small Technology Foundation site (and our other sites) in preparation of today’s mammoth Kitten release that’s taken me seven months to prepare and it’s quite lovely to refactor something you could previously only do in HTML (see the IDs and class name) into Markdown and have it just work. The whole reason for this crazy round of dev was to ensure that Kitten is as rock solid as possible as its the foundation of Catalyst and Meow. (This is just a little thing – Kitten’s an entirely different beast in terms of stability, consistency, and security than it was in April.)

PS. If you’re wondering about the <${FundUs} /> bit, that’s a Kitten component being instantiated in the Markdown. You can import them just like you can in JavaScript (and in the upcoming release, TypeScript) pages by including a script section in your front-matter.

Had to use a non-hardened browser to interact with muggle websites this week and my usual fallback is the chromium based browser, Vivaldi. Sometimes I'll use ungoogled Chromium as well.

Normally when using these browsers for the first time in many weeks, I forget that they don't respect the middle button paste buffer in the URL bar, or anywhere I guess. Today I was annoyed enough to see if I can find a work around.

As it turns out it's a GTK gsetting:

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-enable-primary-paste

If that returns false then do a:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-enable-primary-paste true

Now you can middle click paste in Chromium based browsers!

For the uncertain, this works regardless of whether you are running a GTK based desktop or not (i.e. do this if you are running Plasma, LXQt, CoW, whatever also).

Gee, what am I going to do with myself for the rest of the day now?

When designing web pages, what's your default approach? (and please stick to the context. I don't need yet another CSS framework discussion ;)

#CSS #Web #Webdesign

In case you didn’t know:

Because of all the AI stuff markdown content negotiation becomes slowly mainstream.

So if you call a website and you only accept markdown as format, the server will answer in markdown!

I absolutely cannot wait until the first browser will provide a “markdown first” mode in which your browser shows the markdown page first!

(Also isn’t it funny that IT people have begged for such a thing for decades and now that AI cannot handle all the bloat on websites they all scramble to get it done?)

Mir vergeht zunehmend die Lust, in meinen Blogbeiträgen auf externe Quellen zu verlinken. Mein WordPress-Linkchecker prüft Links gerade einmal monatlich. Von aggressivem Crawling kann keine Rede sein. Trotzdem hagelt es 403-Fehler, oft wegen Bot-Schutzmechanismen wie Cloudflare.

Jeder vermeintlich defekte Link landet im Dashboard und muss händisch geprüft werden. Im Browser funktioniert er natürlich.

I added Twitter to my extension to bypass age verification!

Hi! If you don't know me, I made an #opensource #browserextension for #firefox to skip age verification screens on many platforms!

Recently, #Twitter (yes, I'm not calling it X!) sent a cease and deceist letter to #Nitter that allowed you to browse privately. I think this sucks, so now if you want to see an age restricted post you can use my extension to show it! (Still needs to be logged in to an account however, otherwise twitter won't return the tweet data)

🧩 Extension : https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/age-verification-bypass/

💻 Source : https://github.com/helloyanis/age-verification-bypass

Basically, it works by taking all the data from age restricted posts and re-arranging it in the way that regular posts do!

If you're still on twitter (why!) feel free to give it a try, and give me some feedback! Thanks!! 🦊🧡

Yesterday we were talking with Viktor on #Marginalia Discord. I was thinking the bottleneck in crawling is bandwidth. Viktor said something else:

The bottleneck is not BW, not most of the time. But the problem's that a) the crawler is polite. So I don't send so many requests to the same host concurrently. For instance, so many websites on wordpress.com, geocities, github.io and similar.

And b) Too many open connections will drive the network switch mad and it'll be problematic.

Since yesterday, I'm using #wget to download websites for offline usage and later index them using #yacy. By default, wget is a polite crawler. I am fetching about ~10 websites concurrently. And the average BW usage is just 1MB/s. Fetching some websites is not done since yesterday till now...

#web #websites

One of the things I've been taking an interest in recently is news readers, enough to where I installed Newsflash for #gnome and #capyreader on my devices. If any #programming, #cybersecurity, #privacy, or #linux folk want to share any blogs to subscribe to, I'd gladly subscribe to them if I find them interesting. However, I also operate my own blog... and it doesn't provide RSS? This absolutely is my laziness and I do plan to get something for it when I want to write more TypeScript, but that's not what I'm talking about.

My revelation got me thinking about trying different technologies, if I should use something JavaScript still or not. However, I then thought about trying out #jekyll, written in #ruby because it also seems integrated with GitHub Pages, and it also had quite good blogging technology. I have to say, I really like using Jekyll for my case.

It has pretty much everything I need, and doesn't feel like it tries to do more unless I want it to with plugins. Writing posts and content in general are honestly quite simple because of Markdown being as simple as it is, and they produce the results I want to see. Finally, writing themes for Jekyll seems pretty simple with Liquid, but I didn't want to do it and instead forked Minima v2.5.2, adding what I needed. The code definitely shows it's age, and I'm quite glad it was rewritten in the current Minima version.
The fork of Minima and my Jekyll website can be found on my GitHub.

One thing I will say is that it's honestly a little confusing if you want to use GitHub Pages, you expect any theme to work with the version of Jekyll they use, but it doesn't and it results in battling the resolver until you give up and install jekyll-remote-theme and use your theme of choice. This isn't a fault of Jekyll to be clear, but GitHub is on Jekyll 3.10.0 whereas Jekyll's latest version is v4.4.1. This is a really solvable issue but I also don't want to set up CI runners for a hobby project, so I won't.

A summary of this all is that Jekyll is pretty cool to work with if you don't want to handwrite every HTML document, CSS stylesheet and RSS feed. It being coupled quite nicely with GitHub is a benefit as well if you want to deploy a page almost instantly. I would tell anyone looking wanting a simple webpage to give Jekyll a try.

This isn’t what I ordered!

• An order/CSR identifier mismatch now fails fast and loud with an `Order.identifiersMismatchError`

If the ACME server offers to provision a different set of identifiers than the one that we requested, we now fail immediately. Previously, we were logging a warning and validating all remaining authorisations, only to fail at order finalisation with a `badCSR` error (RFC 8555 § 7.4).

If at first you don’t succeed…

• Transient ACME server failures are now retried up to four times and obey the Retry-After header, falling back to exponential back-off if one isn’t provided.
• Vastly improved error handling.
• Some bug fixes.

Basically, Auto Encrypt now does it’s very best to provision you that certificate even when things go wrong.

Thankfully, with what I’ve built this year, the Small Web doesn’t need TLDs to work (see https://ar.al/2025/06/25/web-numbers/) but still, here’s hoping it doesn’t come to that because it will be a right hassle to move stuff over.

Buy, hey, better safe than sorry.

And I’m definitely reconsidering my choices when it comes to payment services/merchant of record for Catalyst (the free/open Small Web hosting app I’m building).

The modern #web is no longer just about attractive layouts, smooth navigation, or responsive pages. People now expect #websites to kind of get them, answer their needs, and make every interaction feel, you know, meaningful.

Mastodon 5.0: Laying the foundation https://lobste.rs/s/m0okh1 #design #web

If you have Extensions installed in your web browser, how do you organize them?

(Pictured: Firefox with several extension haphazardly visible on the toolbar)

#web #browsers #Extensions #gui #preferences #browsing

Alt...

Firefox toolbar showing several Extensions, haphazardly organized.

Maybe I'll OCR it just to be like that?

Edit: Yes, I'm aware that you can copy some of the text. However, no matter what I do not all the text comes along. Either way, adding right-click->Copy ought to be trivial.

(This is not a request for advice; nor a pinboard for complaints about Google, Chrome, the web, or me; nor a place to opine about why such things might happen in complex pieces of software).

If, like me, you love 1990s Web sites, back when the internet wasn't enshittified by Big Tech yet, have a look at Wiby, a Web 1.0 search engine.

Click on "Surprise me…" for random discoveries, often personal Web pages about obscure niche subjects, but sometimes you find a hidden gem…

Hey folks, can you help me out with a little something: trying to come up with a good number of files limit for a file scan (for Kitten so you don’t hit heap memory limits if you run it from the wrong directory by mistake) and I’d love some statistics from real JavaScript/TypeScript Node.js projects of the number of files in them (excluding .git and node_modules).

Would you be kind enough to run the following command in Terminal in your largest projects and let me know what number your get (along with a short description of the project):

find . \( -name "node_modules" -o -name ".git" \) -prune -o -print | wc -l

Thank you :)

wondering if #lua is a good choice for long-term, low-maintenance, lightweight #CGI for #convivial #web-development? Downside is, shared web hosters rarely offer it and I'm not aware of a static Linux amd64 binary.

Two quick macros for Helix Editor that you can add to your configuration that are helpful during web dev:

```toml
[keys.normal.m]
t = "@i<lt>🏷️<gt><esc>a<lt>/🏷️<gt><esc>b*vNc"
e = "@ctry {<ret><esc>Pji catch (error) {<ret><esc>"

[keys.select.m]
t = "@i<lt>🏷️<gt><esc>a<lt>/🏷️<gt><esc>b*vNc"
e = "@ctry {<ret><esc>Pji catch (error) {<ret><esc>"
```

The first one, m → t, wraps your current selection in an HTML tag that you can begin writing the name of.

The second one, m → e, wraps your current selection in a JavaScript try/catch block and drops you into the catch.

If you have any you’ve written and use, do let me know :)

Thinking about a new domain+project...

Anyone have the TL;DR; on self hosted fediverse software?

Mastodon vs Snac vs Pleroma vs ?

I'm looking for something that is super low maintenance and lightweight / easy on resources but as full featured as practical within those constraints.

Something easy to tune re: post lengths and media types would be cool too. A "text first" platform is desired.

I've run Mastodon in the past and it's like fishing with nukes for this use case.

What's out there?
