    In two weeks I’m giving a brand new talk at @devnexus!

    Based on this title slide, what you expect this talk to contain? 😬

    I’m really happy to see all the new microcasts being launched! But I’m starting to run out of toaster ovens. πŸŽ™

    Aaron Parecki
    You should encourage them to add their microcasts to https://microcast.club! We need some new content there!

    This afternoon's Pixlemator Pro Live Training has been cancelled as I needed to extend my stay in Austin. I will however still release it on Saturday morning as usual. If you were planning to watch live, DM me and I'll issue you a free coupon to view it on the site. Sorry!
    Aaron Parecki
    How long are you going to be in Austin? I'm going to be there this weekend! Maybe we can grab coffee!

    @aaronpk Actually, IΒ don't recognize the desk. Or I don't think so :)

    @aaronpk I thought for a second you were using the Ipad that is the zoom room controller as a second screen. That would have been neat.

    Aaron Parecki
    There's so many screens here.

    Do you recognize the desk? ;-)

    very nice. Is this Monocle? I'd love to ian more about your setup.
    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah it is! Here's a post that outlines some of the technical details! https://aaronparecki.com/2018/03/12/17/building-an-indieweb-reader

    @aaronpk I'm not planning on it! But I'd like to be able to audit my use of pre-rolled crypto better.

    Aaron Parecki
    πŸ‘ good reason to learn!

    I really need to up my crypto-math-fu I guess. It's the weakest link in my toolkit.

    Aaron Parecki

    @aaronpk I would guess they're looking at traffic patterns and just dropping packets that match what they think are files being sent. Similar to how mobile carriers attempt to enforce limits on supported video resolution for data streamed over HTTPS security.stackexchange.com/questions...

    Aaron Parecki
    ahhh that is an excellent read, thanks!!

    ever wondered whether it's possible to measure the similarity between sets of ingredients in cocktails so you can conceptualize drinks in a connected graph, in which edges represent substitutions?

    no? well, https://beta.observablehq.com/@tmcw/cocktail-similarity
    Aaron Parecki
    This is the best.

    I often describe my second favorite cocktail, the Boulevardier, as a Negroni but with whiskey instead of gin.

    @oyam @aaronpk Gogo recommends turning off iMessages in their guide, so I’d assume it has to do with that. It’s probably causing iMessages to fail completely and iMessages is falling back to SMS (unless you had that explicitly disabled?).

    Aaron Parecki
    Actually wait no, SMS won't work at all in airplane mode because it disables the cell antenna. Gogo has a mode that explicitly enables iMessage, but without photos.

    @aaronpk Is maybe iMessages falling back on SMS? If there is no support for MMS, images would be left behind, and only text making it through.

    Aaron Parecki
    Nope I don't use a phone number with iMessage and all the bubbles are still blue.

    @aaronpk I probably know even less :)

    Aaron Parecki
    I guess I'm confused because I can upload photos to my website over https just fine but somehow photos in iMessage are blocked... πŸ€”

    @aaronpk Message size?

    Aaron Parecki
    I guess? I don't know enough about the protocol and where the encryption happens to understand how that works.

    No. They'd have to install the plugin, which demonstrates that the content actually resides elsewhere, outside of Twitter's control.
    Aaron Parecki
    But then they literally have to visit Twitter to see it. I still think it's a cool idea and would help me stay in touch with more people but it still seems like only half a solution.

    Another strategy would be to put half of your tweets on Twitter directly, then tweet out that you have another n tweets that people *could* have seen here, but they'll have to install the plugin.
    Aaron Parecki
    There is definitely already a *lot* of my content that doesn't make it to Twitter and you have to follow my website to see it. I hadn't considered actually promoting this fact on my Twitter account tho! Not a bad idea!

    But you're still using Twitter, which (a) helps them and (b) gives your tweeps no extra incentive to leave.

    If you made your stuff available only using a browser plugin that added your microposts to people's feeds, it would help make your open protocols go viral.
    Aaron Parecki
    Wouldn't making my content available via a browser plugin that shows it on twitter.com still do exactly the thing you're talking about, not giving my tweeps a reason to stop visiting Twitter?

    @aaronpk I'm guessing you might know better, with #OAuth is it possible to only get the info if the user is who they claim to be (but without a password) or is it also possible to get the info to for example which groups he/she is associated with (like admin, user, reader)?

    Aaron Parecki
    Technically OAuth doesn't even give you user info, you're getting in to OpenID Connect/IndieAuth territory if you want that. As for groups and roles, those are super specific to the implementation so aren't really part of the standard at all. You can use OAuth as a framework to do this but you won't find much in the way of standards for it.

    Not at all! I wrote up a bunch about how this works here: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/04/20/46/indieweb-reader-my-new-home-on-the-internet

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.
