fyi, I enabled importing again with some aggressive back-off strategies, so hopefully some photos get through periodically.

Another update! I reworked the OwnYourGram UI to let you import a single photo from its Instagram URL. This should get around the rate limiting since it's mostly been rate limiting profile fetches which is how OwnYourGram finds your new photos. So if you log in, you should be able to import photos individually right now.

Ugh. I used to have a tiny Air. That was great. Too bad it’s slow AF these days.

That was such a good generation of computers! I used one of those as my only computer for many years! I'm so sad Apple has discontinued everything below 13" now too 😕

Travelers — is a 13” MacBook Pro usable in economy class? ‘Cause the 15” is nearly impossible to use.

It's tight but doable. I definitely prefer using my 12" MacBook on planes.

My OpenID ("1") was ahead of its time I guess. 😂😜

oh absolutely it was!

speaking of which, I've been thinking about putting together a podcast and/or video series where I interview folks like you involved in the early days of this stuff. would you be interested?

Hm, after reading their wiki and FAQ, I don't see the value in supporting IndieAuth instead of just allowing the user to specify an arbitrary OpenID Connect provider?

Most OpenID Connect providers require pre-registration of clients, which kind of defeats the purpose. Here's some more background: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/07/7/oauth-for-the-open-web

Ok I haven’t used it much since getting it and in my new stance on not holding onto camera gear I’m passing on my impulsive behavior onto savings for you!

Selling my Lumix 10-25 mft lens! If you want to get a deal shoot me a dm 👍

uggg I want it but I don't think I can justify even an extremely good deal on that! (Also your DMs aren't open so that makes that decision easier 😉)

If you don’t mind me saying so, you appear to be missing the point.

Me: All this traveling has been fun but I'm looking forward to being home and having some downtime
Also me: *books themself up through the entire month of October*

omg also me. I've been trying to tell as many people as I can that I'll be home the whole month of December so that I might actually stick to it.

Yes, and one of my goals is to, while adhering to Apple’s business practices and style, get involved where I can. I’d really appreciate it if you could publicly or privately let me know about venues you think would be relevant to my team.

Yes, come to the next Internet Identity Workshop, or even the next OAuth group's meeting! (November in Singapore) We would all gladly welcome any engagement by Apple in this space!

😱 Came home from a trip to a failed hard drive on one of my home servers. Time to put my backup system to the test!

💾 New drive is on its way, warranty return for the old drive is started.

☁️ Once the new drive arrives, I'll attempt to restore it from my local backup. With any luck, that'll work. Otherwise I'll have to get a drive mailed to me from Backblaze.

🚀 Here we go!

Update: new drive is restoring from my local backup. Currently at 250gb out of 4tb after a few hours. Slow but steady progress.

This is why I always have 3 copies of everything! I wouldn't want to be in a situation where my backup copy fails while restoring it to my main drive, leaving me with nothing.

$10k for an authentication bypass by removing “employee” from the scope parameter in an oauth url which led to access all internal services with a normal user account.

do you have a link to a summary of this that's public? I would love to include this in an upcoming talk.

oh I see, it's a google thing: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/architecture/app-shell

yeah I'm with @adactio on this. this is a great way to put yourself into the mindset of a native app developer, but is *far* from the only way to make a good PWA experience.

Listening to @JoubranJad’s @FronteersConf talk, and I’m afraid I fundamentally disagree with his assertion that an app shell is a prerequisite for a good progressive web app. It’s one approach. Other excellent approaches are available.

not being there to see the talk, what exactly does "app shell" mean?

Also if you complain in my comments section saying you demand unbiased videos I’m sorry but I assume you are a child.

No human being is unbiased, all you can do is state mitigating factors upfront (sponsored videos etc) and enjoy making your content.

oh, you would like an unbiased video? here, let me give you a unicorn:

well said!

I replaced Monocle's Font Awesome SVG+JS icons with their SVG sprite icons and it loads soooo much faster now! There was always a visible delay while the JS loaded in the SVG icons. Now it's just handled by the browser with no JS.

I always assumed that it was a slow network causing the issues, but I opened up the browser tools to check and it turns out the slowdown was happening while rendering the page, not when fetching external data. Goes to show it's a good idea to open up the browser tools once in a while to check out what's happening under the hood!

It looks like switching to no-JS icons in monocle totally fixed the issues I was having with it! Sometimes when I opened a page it used to block on all interactions like marking things read or favoriting for a while. I didn't realize that it was the icon JS that was blocking it! Now that the icons don't require JS, it's free to start handling user interaction sooner and I can scroll and mark read even before the rest of the assets are loaded!
