    Every time you pay rent instead of putting that money toward your own home, you’re flushing money down the toilet.

    Every time you buy groceries instead of a farm, same thing.

    Don’t even get me started on aluminum foil.

    hot take: Adobe would not be the juggernaut it is today if it clamped down on piracy of Photoshop. Every HS/college kid I knew in the 90s (including me) had a cracked copy of Photoshop, then got a job that purchased a copy (and everyone is an Adobe Creative Cloud customer today)

    Can someone please explain me why YouTubers use the weirdest faces in their YouTube thumbnail? It looks like they have just farted. Is this some kind of thumbnail strategy that I am not aware of? 🤔 #youtube #thumbnail #YouTubers

    You just got to love this footnote by @chriscoyier. And it is your daily reminder that every time you hit publish on Medium, you actually pay with your work and give up control over it in exchange for “reach”.

    Own your work. Publish on your own site. 👊 #takebackyourweb

    Technology is crazy. I missed my partner's calls, he's out of town. He turns on our Echo from his phone and made it play "Call Me Maybe," making me nearly jump out of my skin.

    @aaronpk Yes.

    I managed some computers remotely on a ship outside Africa once, they paid thousands of dollars equivalent per month for satellite equipment and internet, but only got 768 down and 256 up in kilobits.

    We used to split it up into 512/128 for the servers, and 256/128 for the few clients to browse the internet (5 shared desktop computers), both splits with sad attempts of QoS ontop of them of course.

    But after Windows 10 landed we just had to give up, one or two computers would barely work on 256k, but if we connected up all of them, the 256k of bandwidth didn't work. As long as three or more computers were powered on, even doing nothing, you were lucky to browse anything. With four or five machines powered on, you could just give up, nothing would ever load.

    Eventually we gave up, giving all bandwidth to the more critical servers and said "sorry, no internet". Leaving all outside-world communication to go via the server, in the form of things such as low-bitrate VoIP calls or E-mail.

    It's sad that 15 years ago, we were happy to finally get 768k broadband to replace our broadband, and I even downloaded torrents with that connection.

    Yet now, with only a few Windows 10 computers, that whole broadband line could be almost entirely spent on forced telemetry.

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.
