    Hey @Linode why do you have so many ad trackers on your *login* domain? Of all places that's where you want to use as little 3rd party JS as possible!

    Visiting login.linode.com loads trackers from Facebook, Doubleclick, Impact Radius, Oktopost, Linkedin, Google Ads, Bing

    @aaronpk My understanding is that's a legacy subdomain and they want people to log in via cloud.linode.com now?

    Aaron Parecki
    cloud.linode.com uses login.linode.com for its login.

    That’s surprising and concerning. Was considering it for a website (due to its attractive pricing)...

    It's very strange. I've been using them for 10+ years and have been extremely happy with the service, so this is confusing to me.

    This weekend’s IndieWebCamp in London has sensibly been switched to online-only because of the current health concerns.

    A big well done to the organisers, Cheuk, Calum and Ana, for their initial attempts to keep it going and then swiftly reconfiguring for an online event. Communication with attendees during the week has been exemplary.

    I’m very much looking forward to joining tomorrow’s sessions from the comfort and safety of my home office.

    I’m not really a TikTok user, but I have discovered a few accounts that are worth following. Since I don’t want to install TikTok under any circumstances and I don’t want to visit the website manually, I built myself a TikTok JSON Feed generator. This tool consists of only a few lines of JavaScript and uses the library tiktok-scraper. Now I can follow TikTok-ers and see new posts in Miniflux. I hope that TikTok will not block my server.

    Nice, never even thought to try this!

    Can't usually make the LIVE show on Wednesday? This week, it's a day early on TUESDAY, at 10am Pacific. Come join the fun, ask anything you want, and maybe learn some new photo and video tips! https://jal.bz/2OtScX0

    #226 Make IndieAuth Plugin a Dependency to Use This Plugin

    Aaron Parecki
    To clarify, the idea is to simplify this plugin by making it rely on the IndieAuth plugin for access token generation and verification? Essentially this plugin would assume the IndieAuth plugin exists and use it to verify access tokens in the requests?

    if the IndieAuth plugin has the ability to then rely on remote endpoints like indieauth.com (although I still don't understand why you'd want to do that), this plugin wouldn't even see the difference right? Assuming this plugin asks the IndieAuth plugin to verify access tokens, it's up to the IndieAuth plugin to decide how to verify them whether that's it checking the local database or asking a remote token endpoint.

    That seems like the best of both worlds and would simplify this plugin a lot.

    I would also like to emphasize that my personal interest in this is getting more people to install the IndieAuth plugin instead of relying on indieauth.com. It's easier to tell someone to install two plugins than it is to tell them how to set up rel=me links on their home page in order to use IndieAuth.com. Also I am planning on eventually shutting that service down.

    I fully expect him to release a Trump branded vaccine in the fall. It won't be effective but that's not important to him. It's all about being able to say he did it in less than a year in the run up to the election.

    Imagine a Trump™️ branded vaccine... what a shitshow that’d be. Like Trump Steaks™️, but for COVID immunity. Yes, this is one of the dumbest things I can imagine, but it still kind of feels within-the-realm-of-possible, no?

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
