    @aaronpk I like the idea of exploring/owning my own GPS data. Do you know of any android apps that let you pick your destination server, similar to your Overland app?
    Aaron Parecki
    OwnTracks is probably the best option for that, but I haven't actually set up the server myself before.

    @aaronpk It feels a bit ironic to me that there doesn't seem to be any RSS or Atom feed associated with https://aaronparecki.com/articles - is this intentional? I don't even see an h-feed on it...
    Aaron Parecki
    I link to my Atom feed from my home page, but all of my feeds are also available as Atom by adding .atom to the URL. I don't have h-feed markup because I haven't gotten around to it and things seem to be doing okay looking at just the list of h-entrys on the page.

    I’m using notmuch to deal with my inbox. It sorts my email so I don’t have to. Maybe you should try it?

    Aaron Parecki
    I wish sorting were the problem, but i already know there are a few dozen high priority things I need to respond to 😖

    This is really interesting. I'm generally wary of adding encryption into a protocol at this level, instead, preferring it at the transport layer for example by providing an HTTP Authorization header. But you've made some interesting arguments about being able to reuse the existing WebSub mechanisms that are worth exploring more.

    I think my main concern, which you sort of hinted at, is that the feed will essentially leak info about how many followers someone has, as well as this potentially including a _lot_ of data as someone's followers grow to the hundreds.

    Have you seen the work going on around making IndieAuth work in a server-to-server environment without user interaction? The idea with that is to let a feed reader fetch a private feed on behalf of a user. https://indieweb.org/AutoAuth

    How much conferences do you attend per year?
    Aaron Parecki
    Nowhere near as many as some people I know, but I realized I didn't have a list of all of them so I started compiling one! It's still rough but it's a start: https://aaronparecki.com/conferences/ Thanks for the nudge!

    @EddieHinkle I’m using @aaronpk’s Aperture. But I’m not sure how to subscribe there either...

    Aaron Parecki
    Sorry it's not super obvious. Go into a channel in Aperture, then click "New Source" and you can enter a URL to subscribe to.

    @aaronpk Are you still happy with your Brompton? Lately, I've been seriously considering one for commuting and travel where a touring bike is just too much.
    Aaron Parecki
    yesssss it is still my main bike! The only times I don't ride it are when I have to haul 60 pounds of boxes and I use my cargo bike instead.

    @aaronpk is it a Samsung? My son turned off my TV using it's secret hidden button and I was confused for quite some time.

    Aaron Parecki
    Viewsonic actually! One of the last non-smart TVs, so I'm glad it isn't actually broken!

    My TV broke just in time for the Black Friday deals. I'm on the train right now heading to the Best Buy by the airport, and with any luck will emerge with a new TV. Or I will find out how many people come down from Vancouver to shop at that Best Buy. Wish me luck.

    Has anyone here used Adobe Premiere Rush CC on the iPad? I started looking at it today and it looks like a great video editor for small projects. Curious if anyone has any experience with it for an entire project.

    Aaron Parecki
    That does look nice! I hadn't heard of it before. I just downloaded it and went through the tutorial, not bad! I'll try to use it for my next project.

With many devices now having embedded HSMs, we’ve seen increasing interest in mobile apps being dynamically (per-install) registered oauth2 private clients, and that model has a lot of advantages. (I’m not sure if we might see a similar model evolving for web apps.)

    That's a great point, thanks. I've removed the reference to native apps being public clients since it doesn't really add anything to this spec if I have to caveat the description.

    Thanks, I agree that this document should include some recommendations around refresh token handling. Looking at the discussion in this thread, it seems there are a few different strategies folks are taking. Since it seems like there isn't a strong consensus, it sounds like this would be better suited for the "Security Considerations" section, and to not make MUST/SHOULD recommendations, but rather just point out the issues. Any thoughts on that before I take a stab at writing something?

    I've incorporated some of the other feedback here and published an updated version:

    Thanks for the feedback so far.

    whoa I've never been in a plane that's pulled out of the gate by making a u-turn and driving forwards before #tinyplane #travel
    Aaron Parecki
    Pulling out of the gate to the runway front first and taking off with no wait feels way more like riding in a car that can fly than an airplane

    Since Mastodon already supports OAuth 2, and all users already have a URL, adding IndieAuth to Mastodon would not be a huge leap.

    I'm pretty excited about the wireless charging! Not super thrilled about FaceID, since I thought TouchID was working just fine. I hear good things about the camera compared to the 6S too, so that should be fun!
