    If you’ve got the time and inclination on your trip for a coffee, meal, impromptu HWC, let me know.

    So I like tracking myself and I’m aiming to get more into the habit of doing that versus letting people do whatever their ToS says. https://where-in-the-world-is-jacky-alcine.glitch.me/ is a @Glitch app that uses Nextcloud to figure out where am I within permissible times.

    There’s a bunch of stuff I’d like to add to this but for now, this works!

    Yessss awesome

    How do I make sure that anything on my personal account gets copied as an "out of office" to my work accounts for coworkers to see? I need to make sure that people don't book meetings when I'm out of office.
    Aaron Parecki
    I don't have a *good* solution for this, but I usually do a combination of:

    inviting my work account from my personal calendar

    manually adding an event called "Busy" to my work calendar

    I have 7 different google calendars I need to consult across three different google apps accounts. How do I schedule things this without double booking myself or a studio? TEACH ME YOUR TRICKS!
    Aaron Parecki
    share them all with your personal Google account

    or

    add them all to your iPhone and make that the only place you look

    Pretty excited to have all these enquiries about guest posting on my website. I feel famous!

    I've had a wave of them too recently, it's getting a little out of hand.

    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. Can’t wait to build it out. Best part is it’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 😭

    @aaronpk I’ve been sticking them in 1Password alongside everything else. 🤫

    Aaron Parecki
    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 I’ve done all that on the past. It’s just spam ones have historically been live a long time before I’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.

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.
