    I dig it!

    @auth0 @okta can you point me to your devrel teams? It would be fun to do a livestream for each of your services where we build out an app using @gatsbyjs and your auth solution. My DMs are open! cc @samjulien @aaronpk
    Aaron Parecki
    That does sound fun! What do you need from us? We've got a few quickstarts that you could use as a base.

    @aaronpk Hey, sorry, me again. I just can't figure this out and hope you can help. I'm trying to use OwnYourGram with my site (Jekyll + Github pages + Micropub endpoint). But the post gets pulled in like this, so it doesn't show the photo. Are you aware of anyone who got this to work? It needs to add a reference to the photo in the post itself.

    I'm not familiar enough with Jekyll to know what's going on. You might try asking someone in the #indieweb-dev channel in chat! https://indieweb.org/discuss

    I’m starting to use more hybrid app development tools, namely NativeScript. They’re the closest we get to PWAs being on mobile devices since Apple’s really against making them a thing in their garden. Google’s reasoning is to probably get one code base to monitor everything. For developers, it’s definitely a lot easier to just write one code base for mobile environments.

    Depending on how this flies, I might consider working on a Micropub application (tailored for Koype, of course). Should be fun!

    Aaron Parecki
    Apple has support for PWAs now! I've been using an offline version of Teacup to track my food on planes. You'd never even know it was a web page really!

    I think @aaronpk has a way of getting geodata from the plane wifi
    Aaron Parecki
    Yep I've been adding Gogo support to my GPS tracking app https://overland.p3k.app The new version isn't published in the app store yet, still a few UI kinks to work out, but it's pretty fun having great location data the whole flight now! example: https://aaronparecki.com/2019/02/04/20/

    Aaron Parecki
    Yes! Very likely at the February one!

    #OReillySACon Come by the @okta booth if you'd like some #oauth cat stickers! Also if you want a PDF of my book and the slides from the talk, make sure we scan your badge!

    If you grabbed a print copy of my book during the talk, come by the booth and I'll sign it too! 🖋

    Have a fun conference. Looking forward to HWC tomorrow and your OAuth workshop Thursday! Got plans for this evening?

    Aaron Parecki
    Gonna be hanging out at the booth til about 7 or so, no plans after that (yet), but also probably don't wanna venture too far away from the area.

    @aaronpk that's very cool, actually. And to be clear, I am a fan and count myself as a friend of @adactio, so my intention here was not to attack, but to prod.

    Aaron Parecki
    Don't get me wrong, I'm all for calling out people who rant about the web on Twitter but don't actually have a website themselves, but I don't think @adactio falls into that category at all.

    @aaronpk I do - but then why not federate here as well?

    Aaron Parecki
    I can't speak for him, but my reason was I didn't want essentially another identity and account to keep track of. That's why when you click thru on these messages you end up on my site instead of any Mastodon instance.

    4/ In short, the process to “own your content” is currently in the chasm, and won’t cross over into mass adoption until we make it *way* easier. That said, I like this setup a lot, and am encouraged that it’s a thing that is now possible.
    Aaron Parecki
    🎉 Welcome! Definitely agree this needs to be easier, but it's slow progres. The fact that you were able to get this far is an excellent demo of how much easier it's become compared to 5 years ago!

    I'm thinking about getting the Hue smart bulbs for my bedroom because it seems like it would help to be able to dim and brighten the lights around bed time and waking. Anyone using them or other smart bulbs? Thoughts?

    Aaron Parecki
    Hue bulbs are my fav, because they don't rely on the internet to work, everything runs locally in your house network. I've been using them for like 6-7 years now!

    Yeah that may be easiest 😭 I was hoping there was some service that allows unauthenticated requests but with arbitrary paths cause then you could write to like http://example.com/longrandomstringthatisasecret/key = value. But mebbe I don't understand exactly
    Aaron Parecki
    lol twitter autolinked that.

    /longrandomstringthatisuniqueperapp/key = value

    I feel like if I explained what I'm doing you'd understand why I'm so limited, but I really only need to store a single thing and the simplest solution at this point if mLab doesn't work for it is to write my own service on my own db 😂
    Aaron Parecki
    tbh it sounds like the simplest thing is to have each app generate its own long random string and use that as basically the key for writing and reading data. And this coming from someone who is clearly a fan of OAuth.

    I have this same problem. It's never worked for me when switching timezones, unless I very carefully choose when I sync with the phone and when I change my timezone. It overwrites data if I don't do it carefully.

    I should work on properly ingesting Twitter links so I can fully own my likes, reshares and replies on that site. For now, I need to look into a “silo-based translator” to the IndieWeb.

    Aaron Parecki
    I stopped favoriting things directly on Twitter a long time ago! I always favorite stuff because either it shows up in my reader and it's just one click, or on the off chance I do click on a tweet, my browser bookmarklet also gives me one click access to favorite something. Way easier than trying to pull my Twitter favs back from their site.

    @ablaze @aaronpk Ah ok, that makes sense. I did some research on it couple of years back, and FAA always deferred to individual airlines to make the call on that. The airline has the authority to disallow calls, but it's not an FAA regulation. Some in-flight companies (like GoGo) explicitly forbids VoIP calls in their ToCs (at least used to) that you agree to when you join their network.

    Aaron Parecki
    I'm surprised they don't just block Zoom since it's one of the biggest ones. They do block YouTube.

    @ablaze @aaronpk Did you by any chance grab the pamphlet/page from her? I'm not aware of an actual VoIP ban by FAA, but flight attendants sometimes confuse it with regular cell calls. Although, many carriers block VoIP calls via their in-flight WiFi, due to noise complaints, etc, as well as bandwidth concerns. Some technologies work around that, but if VoIP is "blocked" (as far as they're concerned) and you're on a call, you're more likely to be mistaken for doing a cell call.

    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah I'm curious about this too. I couldn't find anything while googling (on the plane). I'll probably look a bit more tonight.
