    My Dream has happened! I just received my new office space for Kinotika this week! Converting an entire apartment to my YouTube studio and guest house. Canโ€™t wait to build it out. Best part is itโ€™s directly upstairs from my personal apartment... WiFi even reaches up here!
    Aaron Parecki
    This is so great! It's gonna be real nice having all that space!

    Is it safe sometimes?!

    Aaron Parecki
    Nope, it's a trap! But it's also how most banking APIs work in the US ๐Ÿ˜ญ

    @aaronpk Iโ€™ve been sticking them in 1Password alongside everything else. ๐Ÿคซ

    I mean the one-time codes you get via SMS that include a message like "don't give this code to anyone"

    Is there an app that combines an RSS reader and a blog composition tool? Seems handy for reading posts, then linking/commenting on your own site, but I can't find anything like it. #indieweb #rss #blogging
    Aaron Parecki
    There are several! Check out https://indieweb.org/reader

    Yeh and Iโ€™ve done all that on the past. Itโ€™s just spam ones have historically been live a long time before Iโ€™ve got around to removing them, which is a tad frustrating.
    Aaron Parecki
    Out of curiosity what do you mean by spam? Unwanted bridgy feedback? Spam sent via pingback?

    I am not likely to add a manual approval step FYI because that kind of moderation gets tiring and overwhelming quickly. But you can do it via the web hook!

    Ugh, making Let's Encrypt work with an Ansible-managed config file is pretty obnoxious. I think I need to get DNS challenges working so I can create the cert independently from nginx.

    Aaron Parecki
    I finally set up DNS challenge so I could get a wildcard cert and I kinda wished it had always worked that way, so much easier!

    Excellent writeup! I think this makes a lot of sense, and great use of tags to carve out your own space on the site!

    To be fair, ADULTS have made fun of me for my voice. Including behind my back in professional settings (!)

    I got made fun of so much as a kid for having a deep, loud voice, I'm pleased I finally put it to use in a setting where it is appreciated.

    Cool. But to my mind it's a right-libertarian approach rather than a left-libertarian approach (which is what I'm proposing)

    As long as what you're doing fits with your politics, that's cool.
    Aaron Parecki
    I still think you're missing the overarching goal that we're doing here. We're explicitly not saying "do it all yourself", which is why I'm super glad that things like micro.blog make it very easy for people to start to take ownership of their data.

    I'd also like to know which meals are really better for being made in an Instant Pot. Like REALLY better than what you could do on the stove. I'm not sold.

    Mashed potatoes, and risotto! And chili! (I'm a fan in case you can't tell)

    I wouldn't argue otherwise. But if you're in a conversation with someone and one half of the conversation disappears (e.g. if I deleted the previous tweet), it makes no difference anyway...
    Aaron Parecki
    That's why I download a copy of all the responses to my posts and serve the copies from my site. By now I'm sure there are plenty of cases of comments on my posts that are gone, but they still show up on my site because I decide to keep them there.

    Updated my tab stats extension for Firefox.

    It now shows open tab count on the badge, and the tooltip shows current count, opened today, closed today, switched today.

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-count-button/

    Aaron Parecki
    Next you gotta post your tab stats on your website! https://aaronparecki.com/now/

    Ouch, probably will just go back to my normal thumbnail method.

    I get that S1H is kind of niche but this was my worst performing video in a year ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
    Aaron Parecki
    I think it's the title more than the thumbnail. A "tips and tricks" video is probly going to appeal to people who already have it. For a brand new $$$$$ one like this I'd expect something like "why you should buy the..." or "my favorite things about the..." would work better.

    Client registrations are not also not portable across AuthZ Servers. As a dev you need to reg the same app with every ecosystem and manage credentials often static. End users often have no assurance besides logo and name that they are authorizing the same app in every ecosystem.
    Aaron Parecki
    This is actually a very good description of the benefit of IndieAuth's use of URLs as client IDs.

    https://www.w3.org/TR/indieauth/#client-identifier

    Every app is identified by its URL, so you can build trust that way across providers.

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.
