    It's been over 3 years since I've published an update for Overland, my GPS tracker app, and I am a little terrified to re-download XCode and see how much work it's going to take to even make it compile now 😬 https://overland.p3k.app

    It's 6:45am in Germany and I'm on my way home, and operation No Jetlag begins! I Land in Portland at about 7pm, so I just need to stay awake for about 24-25 hours now.

    Sadly my NFC tags don't have enough capacity to store my vaccine card data. I wanted to carry mine around as an NFC sticker. I guess I could make one that redirects to a URL of the QR code but that sounds less fun.

    My mac says "Your screen is being observed" on the lock screen. How do I tell what app is doing this?? I've already turned off screen recording permissions for all apps in the Privacy section. And rebooted.

    It amazes me how sensitive I am to the difference between 66Β°F/19Β°C and 70Β°F/21Β°C. It's the difference between "I'd sure be a lot more comfortable with long sleeves" and "omg I can't take off enough clothes"

    TIL that your @netlify preview and branch deploys stick around forever, the only way to get rid of them is to delete the entire site. Better hope you never commit anything confidential/sensitive or any JS that calls out to external services... πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

    I bought the cheapest M1 Macbook Air back in June ($999/8gb/256gb) expecting to want to upgrade to whatever Pro was launched this fall, but tbh I've been super impressed at how powerful it is, even for video editing, and I don't really feel like I need to upgrade now 🀷

    So let me get this straight.

    1: you put SSNs in plaintext on a web page
    2: you get mad that someone clicked "view source"
    3: your actual Highway Patrol patrols the information superhighway?

    This 100% matches my feelings about programming, which might explain why I continue to stick with PHP as my language of choice https://twitter.com/woketopus/status/1447150924846313475

    At the end of the day, OAuth is just a way to communicate between services and users, and as such it's easy to grasp and non-controversial.

    OAuth solved a universal problem – signing into a web site – and, in doing so, created a new problem: how does a site know it's really you?

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.
