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.

You can follow me from Mastodon or any other similar application that uses ActivityPub. Search for my profile (aaronpk@aaronparecki.com) from your instance, or use the use the "Remote Follow" feature below.

    Well this was a first. Got to the airport and realized I was sitting at the gate in so much back pain that I cancelled my flight 10 minutes before boarding and went back home.

    The gate agents were confused about why my cancel request was so simple.

    I should know better than to send an email asking if I should do "a or b", because of course the response was "yes please"

    I don't want to speak too soon, but so far I slept a solid 8 hours last night and didn't get tired during the mid morning slump, so I think I may have avoided jet lag entirely this trip! #travel

    I decided I would appreciate being home at 9:30am instead of 5pm more than I will be annoyed at having to wake up at 4:30am, so I changed my flight home to the early flight. Hope I don't oversleep! #travel

How Does This Work?

Would you like to use your own domain to be part of the Fediverse? Rather than finding an existing Mastodon instance to join, you can turn your own website into an ActivityPub profile like this one! Some of these options are more complicated than others, but the links below will get you started in the right direction.

  • Micro.blog is a fully-hosted service you can run on a custom domain or subdomain, and provides ActivityPub integration out of the box.
  • Bridgy Fed converts your existing website to ActivityPub using Webmention, h-entry and Atom.
  • Install a plugin for your WordPress or Drupal website.
  • Nautilus is an open-source proxy server you can run independently from your website.
  • You can self-host a single-user instance of ActivityPub-compatible software like microblog.pub, WriteFreely, or Mastodon.

If you want to go full DIY, you can implement ActivityPub into your own website! I started by following Eugen's guide here.
