    I also think the hotel key isn't as useful for ocaps as a car key, because people often think of a hotel key as being associated with your identity, and a car key isn't.
    Aaron Parecki
    ..but a hotel key explicitly isn't associated with your identity, which is why the analogy works! You know how you get multiple keys when you check in, and it's expected that any guest of the room can use them?

    i have been complaining about this for years wrt oauth! it's how Iearned about valet keys. Maybe they're totally normal to some, but it smells of privilege somehow...
    Aaron Parecki
    I never liked the valet key analogy, especially as someone who only briefly owned a 1985 Volvo and now owns 0 cars. I use a hotel key analogy in my talks, which I think is more relatable, but I am still looking for an analogy that doesn't require as much privilege to relate to.

    On my way to Montreal to talk about OAuth #ietf105! Crossing my fingers the connection at Newark goes well despite the impending thunderstorms.

    I have some time free while I'm there this week, so if you're in the area and want to grab coffee let me know!

    @uint8_t I take some shortcuts in service of a system that's more manageable to me:

    * No hierarchy, just top-level folders to group similar photos (e.g. trips, events, photoshoots)
    * ISO-8601 date prefix on folders
    * Multi-day events just get grouped under one day, don't overthink it
    * Catch-all month folders for misc photos
    * Photos get uploaded from my phone to an "Inbox" on my Synology NAS automatically (graph counts items in the Inbox)
    * Periodically sort things (graph go down??)

    Aaron Parecki
    Out of curiosity, do you treat photos from your phone and photos from a real camera or real photo shoot differently?

    Right now I have a organization system similar to yours for my DSLR photos, but all my phone photos go to Flickr in a gigantic unsorted pile. I hadn't really considered combining them, but the system you described here seems like it might work for both my kinds of photos.

    I set up a graph to track how many unsorted photos my wife and I have. Can't for the life of me figure out how to get a right Y axis to graph the two lines at their own scale. http://i.abackstrom.com/share/rrd/ #rrdtool

    Aaron Parecki
    That's awesome! I use rrdtool via Munin as a quick and dirty way to graph random stuff all the time. Still haven't found anything better.

    Once I finally figure out a good solution for archiving my photos I am definitely going to make a graph like this!.

    Hi Aaron, quick question regarding OAuth flows. In the developer track at the London Okta forum, it seemed that a web SPA should use Auth Code with PKCE (and generally avoid using implicit flow)? However the Okta documentation seem to suggest otherwise? Not sure how to proceed?
    Aaron Parecki
    The docs and libraries are still in the process of being updated, but you can find some sample code here: https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/05/01/is-the-oauth-implicit-flow-dead

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.
