    I'm confused, are people saying this is bad? I've been doing this for ages, just never given it a fancy name.

    @aaronpk curious did that work for you?

    Aaron Parecki
    Sure did! Vouch can sit in front of anything and I've used it to add login to a bunch of different kinds of things. The login page I set up is a super minimal OAuth-compatible page so that Vouch only has to speak OAuth to it but that proxy just accepts a single password to let people thru. I might do a blog post about it cause it was kind of cool!

    sometimes I wonder if I should stop self-hosting email and reserve self-hosting for decentralized communication systems which are not architecturally doomed

    Aaron Parecki
    Self-hosting email is a lost cause IMO. Also it's not going to get any easier, so better to spend that energy on more productive things.

    Promote chat participants to moderators

    Once the ability to delete chat messages exists, it'd be great to be able to promote other chat participants to moderators so that they can also help delete messages.

    #464 User accounts

    Aaron Parecki

    Just to throw this out there, IndieAuth is a very small addition to OAuth 2.0 which adds identity into the system in a much lighter weight way than OpenID Connect. Mastodon could easily add this extension to return the user ID of the user who just authenticated. The login form on OwnCast would ask the user to enter their server name, and do discovery on the server to send the user there to log in.

    I did a talk about how Mastodon/ActivityPub apps can use IndieAuth to accomplish this kind of thing. The video is available -- of course -- on my website: https://aaronparecki.com/2020/09/22/25/activitypub-oauth-2-1

    Password protected livestream

    Hello! I'd love to be able to create a password-protected livestream. I'm imagining the simplest possible ui for this, which is just to prompt the visitor to enter the password when they first land on the web page. The primary use case would be to provide members-only livestreams for Patreon/etc, or private group streams for things like family video watch parties. In particular that means:

    I should look into the technology side again. I would genuinely like to take a swing at streaming without twitch for people already in my community. I really, really do not want to be dependent on them even if I make extra work for myself.
    Aaron Parecki
    The super DIY version is this: https://aaronparecki.com/2016/11/19/15/self-hosted-facebook-live

    There's an "out of the box" solution now too:

    Of course, I would still rather host everything myself #IndieWeb style, but thatโ€™s not really feasible for streaming right now I donโ€™t think.
    Aaron Parecki
    Technology wise it absolutely is feasible. Community/distribution wise less so right now.

    Question for videographer/designer Twitter.

    If Iโ€™m looking to paint a wall for my backdrop is there a preferred kind of paint I should use?

    Iโ€™m thinking some kind of matte white color I can under light to get to a grayish tone.
    Aaron Parecki
    I took my color chart to the paint store and found a paint chip as close to middle grey as possible, and got it in matte. Works well! It's the dark wall here.

    I finally added a COC to my comment section for my channel. I actively choose to only go to and support events that have code of conducts, so I'm bringing that ethical policy to my own community!

    Macbook Air w/ Apple Silicon review (after 2 days):
    + I wish they made a 12"... feels SO MUCH bigger/heavier than the 12" I upgraded from.
    + Keyboard is 100x better than the 12".
    + The thing I notice the most is NO FAN. It's so quiet.
    + Fast, zero lag. Nothing slows it down.
    Aaron Parecki
    If they make a 12" version I'm going to have to get it. It's my favorite size!

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.
