    @Namecheap I'm having some issues logging in. Your login form doesn't work with @1password and the 2fa app crashes half the time.

    Had my own IndieWebCamp-from-home during IWC Berlin weekend! Got to at least join for remote demos though!

    I launched Stories on my website, which I talked briefly about in my latest Percolator episode here: https://percolator.today/episode/11

    I also reduced the loading time of my website by switching my silo profile icons from individual favicons to an icon font. They're also all a uniform color now which I think helps make them not stand out as much as they did before. I also switched the map background on my site from a 1.3mb png to a 300kb jpg file.

    Really enjoyed watching all the other demos from Berlin, looks like it was a great weekend!

    Well this was an effective demonstration of why a centralized Twitter is a problem. #indieweb https://twitter.com/twittergov/status/926267806261407744

    There are only 6 out of 100 sticker categories on Swarm that I haven't checked in to: Baseball Stadium, Car Wash, Cosmetic Shop, Nail Salon, Racetrack, and Wings Joint. Sounds about right.

    That feeling when you have to install Java to run a program that validates XML epub files. 😭

    It's taken longer than I would have liked, but my book "OAuth 2.0 Simplified" is finally available! https://oauth2simplified.com

    We did a pre-launch at Okta's conference in Las Vegas in August, and it's taken a bit longer to sort out the details of actually listing it for sale. It's available for purchase right now at the website, and will be visible on Amazon.com in 6-8 weeks.

    Next I'm working out the logistics of publishing an ePub/Kindle version, which it turns out is not just pushing the "ebook" button. This has been a fascinating process to learn about!

    Example delete and undelete flow when storing posts as flat files:

    • Create a post on disk stored at e.g. `/web/2017/10/15/1/post.txt` which has a public URL of `http://example.com/2017/10/15/1/`
    • When the client deletes the post, the server moves the file to `/web/.trash/2017/10/15/1/post.txt`
    • If the client sends an undelete request, the request will include the former public URL of the file `http://example.com/2017/10/15/1/`
    • Similar to how the server knows where to find the file for live posts, it should know how to find the post in the trash folder if it's been deleted
    • The server can move the file back to the public folder `/web/2017/10/15/1/post.txt` to complete the undelete

    US Bank charges $3 to do a transfer to myself at an external account. Workaround: write myself a check and deposit electronically 🤦‍♂️

    Things I was reminded of today that I weirdly miss: carefully grouped AIM buddy lists, and a hand-curated music collection on my iPod

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.
