FYI: Apple adds 4,656 IP addresses to Applebot crawler in one update: Merj's monitor logged 21 new CIDR prefixes at 00:49, taking the published pool to 7,056 addresses. Apple has issued no statement about the capacity increase. https://ppc.land/apple-adds-4-656-ip-addresses-to-applebot-crawler-in-one-update/ #Apple #Applebot #IPAddresses #TechNews #WebCrawler

FYI: Stanford study finds 5% of IP addresses send 55% of all web requests: Fewer than 0.2% of domains hold a unique IPv4 address, and 44% of client IPs carry two or more user agents. Frequency caps and fraud filters read that signal. https://ppc.land/stanford-study-finds-5-of-ip-addresses-send-55-of-all-web-requests/ #StanfordStudy #IPAddresses #WebTraffic #DigitalMarketing #DataAnalysis

🥳 Auto Encrypt: 5.1.1 released
• Fixed: Issue #26¹: Regression: AutoEncrypt HTTPS server does not start using new certificates upon renewal
https://codeberg.org/small-tech/auto-encrypt
Many thanks to zanecodes² for catching this rather fundamental bug.
Here’s a quick post-mortem:
Implementing support for IP Address certificates³ (see Web Numbers⁴) meant that we had to stop using `SNICallback`. This necessitated two changes:
1. Provisioning the TLS certificates before starting the server instead of on first hit.
2. Manually setting a new secure context for the running server so that newly-provisioned certificates are used on future connection attempts without having to restart the server.
While I had implemented the first, I hadn’t implemented the second.
This update fixes that.
(In case you’re wondering how I didn’t notice this before, given that Auto Encrypt is used in @small-tech/https⁵, which is used in Kitten⁶, which all our sites at Small Technology Foundation⁷ run on, the change coincided with the implementation of daily scheduled restarts on Kitten production servers⁸ to give their JSDB databases⁹ a chance to compact their data (e.g., actually delete deletes and prune stale updates from the append-only log.)

Spain’s Net blocks have a flimsy legal basis, and lack both oversight and accountabilityA few weeks ago, Walled Culture wrote about Hadopi, France’s infamous copyright enforcement mechanism. The so-called “graduated response” – aka “three strikes and you are out” – has been around for over 15 years now, has cost French taxpayers a fortune, and has never achieved any of its aims. As the Walled Culture post suggested, the latest court ruling might finally put the […]

Hadopi, perhaps the world’s worst copyright law, is moribund but not quite dead (yet)
One of the best demonstrations that an obsession with protecting copyright’s intellectual monopoly drives politicians insane is the French law known as Hadopi, an acronym for ‘Haute Autorité pour la diffusion des oeuvres et la protection des droits sur internet’ (High Authority for the Dissemination of Works and the Protection of Rights on the Internet). The Hadopi mechanism has been […]

Finally, a riveting annual roundup of IP addresses that nobody asked for 🤦♂️. Geoff Huston heroically gazes into his crystal ball only to tell us that, surprise, the Internet still exists in 2025 🥱. Meanwhile, the rest of us are left wondering if the column will ever address anything other than the mind-numbing💤.

Just added Web Reachability API (at least that’s what I’m calling it) support to https://ip.small-web.org.
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! 💕

On October 3, 2025, Discord revealed that a third-party #customerservice, #Zendesk, attached to its chat platform was #breached, exposing the #data of many of its users—no specific number was provided at the time.
The data included names, #Discord usernames, and email addresses, #IPaddresses, messages with #customer agents, and limited #billing information.

🚀🛰️ Oh, look, another "deep dive" trying to convince us that the Internet's lack of geographic addresses is a scandalous oversight. 🌍📡 Spoiler alert: #Starlink won't magically geotag your cat videos, and IP addresses still won't tell me if you're in Bogota or your mom's basement. 🙄
