I am disappointed so many of the people who tweet about #SurveillanceCapitalism and #IndieWeb have not setup a Mastodon account somewhere. It’s federated. It works well. There is Twitter cross-posting to ease the transition. I subscribe to https://librem.one/ .

Unless you're running it on your own domain, you don't own your mastodon identity, the server admin does. Sure it's better than the Twitter monolith, but getting a mastodon account "somewhere" doesn't solve the underlying #indieweb problem.

You might be interested in Overland from @aaronpk https://overland.p3k.app/

Sadly mine requires manual action to start/stop individual trips. It'll passively track *everything*, but not intelligently like Moves used to do.

"An update on bradfitz"

After ~12.5 years at Google and ~10 years working on Go, it's time for me to do something new. Tomorrow is my last day at Google. 👋

I'll still be involved with #golang but less, and differently.

I am creating a new epic coding music playlist on Spotify and I need your suggestions! Songs that really drive you when coding, or inspire when working out. What is a favorite of yours I absolutely HAVE to add?

I think the math is harder to justify for this trip. I usually plan a full travel day for a flight from Montreal to SF, but this is a 3-day trip by train. I really wanted to take this trip, though.

Yeah trains are super fun! I'd love to do a long one like that some time. Maybe next time I go to Montreal!

I think air travel replacement makes a lot more sense for a regional trip like that, too. For a 90-minute flight from PDX to YYV, you have to add 4 or more hours door-to-door for getting to and from the airport, security, check-in, etc.

eh I fly so much I show up at the airport a few minutes before boarding and it's fine with precheck and such. But it's true in the end it still takes about 4-6 hours total for the 1-hour flight.

no, i will always punctuate properly. spelling has to be accurate too. it’s only capitalization that is gone.

but wait there are plenty of valid cases for dropping punctuation for stylistic purposes too

I'm taking the trip from Montreal to San Francisco by train this weekend. It's been amazing; beautiful scenery, nice people, and I've had several stops for meals along the way. Best of all, I saved more than a tonne of CO2. #TrainsNotPlanes

Okay this may have convinced me to take the much shorter 8 hour train from Portland to Vancouver for the next IETF meeting

DUde, seriously, I can't get chat to work. I can't do live streams on YT if I can't chat.

Yeah there's no chat on the website as far as I can tell. I only see it in the twitter app. but also it disappears real quick so it's pretty frustrating compared to youtube streams!

I ordered some printer ink 4 days ago. Got delayed, then a strange message yesterday that the business was closed for the… holidays? No big deal, if it was important I could get it somewhere else, but it’s a rare look into how hard it must be to spoil us on overnight shipping.

Happy Chinese new year!

It started with writing a blog post about OAuth authentication flow. But hiding the client secret was something I wanted to solve first. But you know what? I just found a way to work without a secret. And 100% secure! New blog posts and code will be online soon (=next week)

Not totally sure the context of this, but have you at least read the OAuth docs around this exact problem?

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6819#section-5.3.1

That's the reason OAuth uses a different flow for native apps and SPAs. I'll be curious to see your blog post!

It's fairly slow, but still cute

so I looked up that product, and somehow found a bunch of "related" products and now I am deep in the hole of researching laser engravers which are apparently not that expensive and are also very small now.

What are folks using for free/low cost notifications for personal projects? I know https://indigenous.realize.be uses https://pushy.me and until now I've used https://pushbullet.com, but given https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2020/01/yelaf/ I may need to replace it with something more substantial

I use https://www.prowlapp.com and https://pushover.net and haven't run in to any limits yet.

Yeah but then I never would've seen your reply complaining about it!

what, you mean you don't have a Twitter list of OAuth people?

All I want for Christmas is to see only the tweets from people I follow, and nothing more

For real! The app is basically unusable.

No joke, I do this by following twitter lists and hashtags instead.

Both. Most time I’ve ever put into a non-client video. Pretty ridiculous, but it was fun

It does look fun!

Oh that reminded me -- the way that you connect the X2 to YouTube with that temporary code -- building and teaching software developers that kind of thing is literally my actual job!

Ok I just watched it, and wow great job 👏👏👏

That was a *lot* of videos in videos in videos, must have required either a ton of setup time or a ton of post-production, or both!

I got "XXXXXX is your Twitter login code. [...]", which sounds pretty reasonable.

But maybe their phone verification message is just wrong. ^_^

ok I was curious so I just tried the SMS verification and got "Your Twitter confirmation code is XXXXXX"

I tried a 2fa challenge and got "XXXXXX is your Twitter login code. [...]"

So yeah I can't think of another way to trigger that unless someone got past the password prompt.
