    The confusing part about online security is knowing *when* it's safe to give your SMS two-factor auth codes to a third party.

    I haven't packed for a trip in 6 weeks. I wonder if I still remember how.

    I was in the middle of making a Negroni and ran out of Vermouth, so I subbed Becherovka instead and wow is this a mouthful of flavor! 🍸

    The problem with posting stuff on Craigslist is now it means I have to answer all the unknown numbers that call my phone for the next few days.

    aaand office hours are a wrap!

    If you're curious how I got this nice greenscreen effect with my cat background without chewing up the CPU on my computer, I made a video that talks about the new @Blackmagic_News ATEM Mini that I used for this!

    Since it's apparently OAuth week (yes I just made that up), this is your periodic reminder to review what third-party apps have access to your accounts!

    Here's a link to Twitter security settings: https://twitter.com/settings/applications

    We were promised that USB-C would solve all our connectivity problems.

    Instead, I have two USB-C ports on this laptop, only one of which is Thunderbolt, which is worse because they look identical but act different. Also apparently only some USB-C cables support Thunderbolt too.

    I finally started documenting all the home automation devices and apps I use, with the main goal of everything running locally! Here's a fun list to browse through if you're looking for some holiday shopping ideas!

    Last year, I finally got in the habit of catching up on my business accounting every 2 weeks. 💵 This year, I haven't even opened quickbooks since August. I really need to get back on track with that or tax season is going to be really painful.

    why yes I did just plug a USB-C hard drive into a USB-A port and was confused why the computer didn't recognize it.

    I blame the fact that I just got off a 14 hour flight.

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.
