@aaronpk Sounds interesting. But doesn’t it mean that our account details will be stored on the Okta site, and not our own sites? Doesn’t that conflict with Indieweb principles, and also put Okta in a complex position regarding GDPR and other regulations?

Or am I completely misunderstanding?

Yes, that's the idea in fact. Re: GDPR, there's plenty about that you can read here https://www.okta.com/gdpr/

But on the IndieWeb front, it's totally fine to outsource various parts of your website, as long as you own your online identity. That's why using a web host like micro.blog is still in line with IndieWeb principles as long as you point your domain to it.

Using Okta to handle logging in to your own site is just outsourcing the internal user account management. There are some things I would rather have an expert do well for me rather than doing a poor job of it myself.

First day of new job, new routine. I'm starting as I mean to go - work from home. My big non-work goal is to leave the house today for at least a walk around the block.

two birds with one stone: take conference calls outside on a walk!

Is there any decent non-smart TV out there anymore? I’m suddenly in the market for something to replace my Samsung plasma screen.

No, unless you look at a different market. Search for "commercial display". That's what I've got right now and it's so much better than the smart TV crap.

.@aaronpk just willingly indulged filming me in a scene that required carrying an overstuffed chair outside along with a robe, @hatp merch tshirt, and taking off my shoes in the middle of the wet sidewalk during rush hour. Onlookers were confused.

Thanks. The sharing functionality in addition to RSS features, sounds promising to me. Is there any curated list with websites, that are offering IndieWeb support? I would like to see how others are using IndieWeb in action.

I haven't seen exactly a curated list, but here are some links:

What's the benefit in comparison with the good old RSS feeds? There are already tons of readers out there.

I wrote a bunch about exactly that here: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/04/20/46/indieweb-reader-my-new-home-on-the-internet

I like the idea of simplifying the frontend flow while establishing a way to configure the properties of the upcomming transaction in the (protected) back channel. Looking forward to discuss at #iiw

I'd be up for a discussion about minimizing the use of the front-channel in a session today! Will one of you propose the session or should I? #iiw

Signed up for gigabit internet service, finally. Installation by end of month! A bit disappointing that the upstream is only 35 Mbps, but honestly, gigabit downstream makes me feel like I'm living in the gosh-darned future.

"Only" 35mbps! You could run your website off of that no problem! In fact I bet you'll have trouble finding anything that can accept data at that rate anyway. When I had 900mbps down and 700mbps up i couldn't use it all anyway!

is there a mastodon/activitypub discovery/search site? the tag explorer site i know of is down. https://mastodon-tags-explorer.hcxp.co/tags
seems like there is an opportunity for someone to build something interesting in that space.

We had a session on exactly that during IndieWebCamp Nürnberg today! https://indieweb.org/2018/Nuremberg/search

Arrived at @indiewebcamp Nuremberg 2018. Currently listening to @aaronpk talking about Micropub. He's just hacking together a blogging engine alongside his talk. Amazing! #indieweb

Glad you're enjoying it!

Will be talking about 'The Many Flavors of OAuth' at https://www.apidays.co/sanfrancisco including brief overview of identity layers #openidconnect #oidc, and #IndieAuth. Use code 'Soonhin' to get free tix. @aaronpk thanks for https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/07/7/oauth-for-the-open-web.

@OAuth_io I meant to ask, was the talk recorded or do you have any slides from the talk I can link to? Thanks!

Reading over the WebMention spec recently seems unfortunate it requires POST requests - if it used GET static sites could just scan HTTP server logs for mentions. https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/#receiving-webmentions

Static sites can already scan HTTP server logs for mentions. Webmention enables the sender to notify the receiver immediately instead of waiting for someone to click the link, and also enables static sites to offload receiving to an external service like https://webmention.io

I use the Samson XPD1 lav mic for recording my own talks. 2.4GHz mic, with a receiver that outputs USB. Might be handy for your setup.

Nice! What do you record into then? An app on your computer? Would love to hear your experiences recording your own talks, that's something we're trying to work on.

getting a birthday message from diaspora for a late co-founder of the project is some next level dystopian aphasia

I got that too and was really thrown off. Also I don't think I got it last year so what exactly did they do...?

#6 Define Auth header to pass through for feed

I definitely want to do something like this to support private content, the trick is defining it in a way that makes sure I won't accidentally share subscriptions with tokens between users. Right now Watchtower will group fetches of a URL and deliver to multiple subscribers, so I'll need to ensure that grouping also takes into account the auth tokens.
