  OAuth for the Open Web
  
  A little about the challenges of using #OAuth2 in a distributed setting for WordPress, GitLab, Mastodon, and more. Spoiler: it's not all bad news. Let's make this happen!

  Started using the last digit of my restaurant bill as a checksum, cause I've had the tip amount changed on me too many times now

  XRay, the library that I use to parse URLs to show comments, now supports parsing direct Microformats JSON, ActivityStreams 2.0, as well as finding a rel=alternate link and parsing data from that instead!

  This means I now get great results when parsing Mastodon or other ActivityPub links, and this is also the first step in what I hope will result in fixing the Microformats situation for WordPress, since a WordPress plugin will be able to generate Microformats JSON and advertise that in a rel=alternate link.

  Next up is updating Aperture to take advantage of these new features!

  My solution to avoid the pain of renewing domains every year: register them for 5 years at a time. 😂💸
