    Ok legit question: How is @Gogo able to block sending and receiving photos in iMessage? I thought iMessage was end-to-end encrypted so it shouldn't have any visibility into what type of content is being sent over that channel.

    I mentioned in my #OAuth talk last week that I was working on a blog post describing how to add the Device Flow to any OAuth server, and I just finished the post! \o/ 🔐 https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/02/19/add-oauth-device-flow-to-any-server

    Pretty pleased I managed to have this entire conversation with @lsanger on Twitter using only my own website and tools! Never had to visit Twitter or use any Twitter apps! Our #indieweb tools have come a long way! #ownyourdata

    Once again, my backpack is heavier than my roller bag. This is what happens when I carry livestreaming gear to #IndieWebCamp Austin. #travel

    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

    TIL three ways of batch renaming files in Linux:

    • rename -v 's/image/photo/' *.png
    • mmv "image*.png" "photo#1.png"
    • qmv *.png

    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?

    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

    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.

    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

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.
