My Dropbox account is now empty except for folders that other people have shared with me. Moved everything to my private file server and Nextcloud! #ownyourdata

always fun to google the random strings I make up for my OAuth examples and see who else's API docs and tutorials they end up in: https://www.google.com/search?q=RsT5OjbzRn430zqMLgV3Ia

I just posted the slides from my #OReillySACon talk last week!

OAuth: When Things Go Wrong

I just used Gmail's "undo send" for the first time today

Whatever @zoom_us did to make their iOS app work on a plane, I am impressed. Sounds totally fine and I'm on a conference call from 35,000 feet.

Spent the afternoon at the city permit office researching building codes and land use review. There's a lot of parallels between building codes and software specs.

Can you imagine if there was a similar permitting process for building websites and apps?

It's already been a year since #IndieAuth was published as a @W3C Note! Support from new services and some new plugins as well! https://aaronparecki.com/2019/01/23/22/indieauth

If you've ever needed a link to send someone to explain why OAuth secrets aren't safe in mobile apps, I made you a thing: https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/01/22/oauth-api-keys-arent-safe-in-mobile-apps

tfw you watch @petermckinnon talk about how to make that vintage video look and you realize he is describing your first video camera hashtag when did I get so old

Remember when Palm Pilots had an IR transmitter and you could download a "universal remote" app and turn off any TV?

I need that right now to turn off this annoying TV in the hotel bar.

Do I know anyone going to NAMM this year?

I'm glad we've got USB-C now, but seriously someone needs to invent a reversible SD card. I still plug those things in backwards every time.

I made a video of my hot sauce recipe as a way to learn Adobe Premiere! This took way longer to make than I care to admit, hopefully only because I'm new to Premiere.

I happened to stumble across the recorded livestream of @tantek's IndieWeb talk at the Decentralized Web Summit, so today I extracted just his talk from the livestream and published it as a standalone video! 📺▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9FSPcmybT8 #dwebsummit #dweb

A pretty good step-by-step walkthrough of the @oauth2 PKCE flow by @afitnerd https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/12/13/oauth-2-for-native-and-mobile-apps

and yes it's pronounced "pixie"

Take 3 minutes to learn how OAuth access tokens are like a hotel keycard! 🔐💳

this redeye to JFK has tailwind so it's only 4.5 hours there and all the flight crew is excited but I'd rather have a longer flight to get more sleep

I like this new term "agenda gardening" instead of "agenda bashing." So much less unnecessary violence. #W3C
