    Good: the screws I ordered from China arrived 2 days before the 14-30 day delivery window.

    Bad: they are 2mm too short for what I need!

    OAuth for the Open Web

    A little about the challenges of using #OAuth2 in a distributed setting for WordPress, GitLab, Mastodon, and more. Spoiler: it's not all bad news. Let's make this happen!

    My solution to avoid the pain of renewing domains every year: register them for 5 years at a time. πŸ˜‚πŸ’Έ

    One more newline test.

    Apparently the last change broke how my posts display in Mastodon, this should look better now.

    RIP https://www.moves-app.com

    You can use my location tracking app as a replacement, tho it requires you set up your own backend for it. But at least that way you're the only one who can decide to shut it down!

    Just finished part 3 in my blog post series about #OAuth2 grant types. This one is about when to use the Password Grant. Spoiler: you probably shouldn't. https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/06/29/what-is-the-oauth2-password-grant

    Fastest way to find a developer’s email if it’s not listed on their website:

    1. Find their GitHub profile
    2. `git clone` the most recent repo
    3. `git log` and their email is displayed :-)

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.
