    @aaronpk No, I think the github oauth + limiting to a single user would work fine. I just wonder why you didn't start with a naive user+password table first. Sure, doing proper and secure auth is not trivial.

    Aaron Parecki
    I just don't like passwords, and most of my uses of this are for multi-author editing where I definitely don't want people to have to have another password. I suppose the password option is easiest for a single-user setup though.

    @aaronpk yep, just me as the single author. Public, but read-only.

    Aaron Parecki
    That's definitely a challenge with a web UI for editing then. I see why you were looking for something where you create events by making files on disk, that removes that concern.

    You could use the "remote user" auth option to set that header in your web server by matching your home IP address or something.

    I'm also open to suggestions for how to make this work better in this kind of single-author case because it's not uncommon!

    @aaronpk looks pretty neat. The auth options seem overkill for my single-user use case. Is there a month/week calendar view? (not really crucial, but I kinda had that in mind)

    Aaron Parecki
    By single-user do you mean you want to install it in a completely closed environment? Events are added via the web UI so some sort of auth is needed for that.

    There's no month/week view right now but I would be open to adding that!

    Dear lazy web, I'm looking for a static site generator with support for events, i.e. should output a page with calendar view, an iCal/ics file, rss/atom for newly added and updated events. Any hints?

    Aaron Parecki
    I know this doesn't quite meet your criteria, but I've been building Meetable as a minimal events website, I'm running three copies of it successfully now. https://github.com/aaronpk/Meetable

    I bought the iPhone SE for review purposes only... then I fell in love with the home button, size, and overall value of the SE so much... I decided to purchase one for myself! I maxed out the storage and chose the color I prefer: all black
    Aaron Parecki
    I’m so tempted to get one too, I’m just struggling with the fact that my iPhone XS will sell for around the same cost as the SE.

    I wanted a fully fresh start without restoring from a backup for so long.

    Let’s see if it is everything I dreamed of.

    are browser based identity protocols destined to become collateral damage in the privacy wars?

    Zoom acquired Keybase today.

    Keybase helped me to identify a trend in the software industry: using a pretty UI to cover up the disruption of an open ecosystem with a closed, centralized replacement. Keybase seemed cool on the face of it - making encryption easier is a laudible goal, and PGP certainly could use the improvement. But, thanks to Keybase, now I ask different questions upfront.

    Beware the Keybase formula:

    1. Integrates with an existing, open ecosystem
    2. May have open-source clients, but server is closed source and does not federate
    3. Pretty UI and good marketing
    4. VC funded

    I saw and linked in my post, that's super encouraging! Also, I'd be curious what % of their customer base is Windows vs Mac - I thought all photo nerds were Mac, but probably just showing my crazy bubble bias
    Aaron Parecki
    I'm guessing this is more targeted at gamers which is why they went Windows first

    Actually just last week Canon released new software that lets some of their cameras work as webcams over USB! Only on Windows for now though.

    every inexpensive option I look into requires this thing, and it is $345!!

    Why did you make me care about this stuff, Aaron?
    Aaron Parecki
    It's supposed to be $99 but they're out of stock everywhere so people are selling them used at ridiculous markups. There are a few off-brand ones that work, but I haven't tested any myself.

    Tomorrow. I’ve found evening releases have poor first few/12/24 hour performance which hurts ongoing promotion by YouTube. Those first few hours are critical. IMHO.

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.
