I was just wondering on alternatives to the facebook groups and the best I could think of was Discord server

Yeah I'd say Discord servers and Discourse forums are the two things that have replaced Facebook groups for me.

#531 Add standalone chat with ability to send messages

This would also open up the possibility of being able to have the person streaming overlay the chat into the livestream itself. I do this with YouTube chat using a browser extension that restyles the popout chat window. https://github.com/aaronpk/live-chat-overlay

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Seen any good movies lately?

Gave up 30 minutes in to Die Hard last night and watched Home Alone instead 🤷‍♂️

In situations where introspection endpoint is left open and un-throttled, how can a researcher exploit such vulnerability ? I could not find such stuff with google search.

The main threat is token scanning attacks, but there isn't much difference between scanning the introspection endpoint or a resource server at that point. That said, the introspection endpoint is supposed to require authentication according to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7662#section-4

Hey, i dont see, how this helps to identify a stream. Especially this Service is not a public well-known service and is mostly developed by yourself (u didnt mentioned that in your text)

I think, a Streamer also has some more social media channels were they could link back to their stream they own. I would not trust such a service but i would trust their Twitter-Accounts or Facebook-Accounts... 🤔

Yeah @SeaLife is right, most people are going to not know what keyoxide is, or not care, and instead will just look for a link to Twitter and look at the Twitter account for a link back to the streaming site.

This is also related to #511 which lets websites mark up these links between each other in a way that can be parsed if you really want to have that be machine-readable. But in reality a human-visible link between each profile is going to provide a better user experience for most people anyway.

@aaronpk curious did that work for you?

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

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

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.

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 that’s not really feasible for streaming right now I don’t think.

Technology wise it absolutely is feasible. Community/distribution wise less so right now.
