@aaronpk is pkce used very often? When I was initially implementing pkce in a few cli tools I didn’t see a lot of people talking about it. Most people I talk to are familiar with oauth but you mention pkce and they don’t know it

@aaronpk I mean, you never know when you'll need to be wired for ceiling mics.

@aaronpk my English isn't so good, and not my primary language.. so I always thought that it meant literally for the email to arrive in the inbox well (not in spam) , and not about the state, well-being of the receiving end 😅

@aaronpk I've seen that, but haven't yet fully looked at it.. it always looked so... financial related?

@aaronpk that's perhaps fair, though I think OIDC smooths out a lot of OAuth 2.0's rough edges

I started a FEP to define an #OAuth 2.0 profile for the #ActivityPub API (“c2s”):

https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/162

I’d appreciate any feedback or support. I’ve begun implementing this profile, and I think it’s testing out pretty well.

@evan no, I mean, I don't see why it'd make sense to define a custom profile of OAuth 2.0 when OIDC exists and we could just use it?

What does defining a custom profile really give us? Our authentication needs can't be that unique, can they?

@evan so currently all the different fediverse services that implement OAuth implement different bits of specs & don't support discovery of authorization server metadata; additionally, they rarely support PKCE. Dynamic Client Registration is supported, but OIDC Federation would likely be better.

The scopes you define look like they could conflict with existing implementations, and are also not discoverable by the client.

@aaronpk So you don’t need Spacial Video? How else will you justify a Vision Pro purchase?

@aaronpk sounds expensive 😬

Do the new ones do any sort of energy reporting? What home automation platform have you landed on!

@aaronpk do you have a plan for light/wall switches yet? If I were building a house I think something like a Shelly relay would be my default go to to connect my lights. Could be a few switches where I’d use a special switch but I really like our Shelly’s. Cost effective too, especially multigang switches.

@aaronpk I can only think of a pneumatic tube system, although it's unlikely to be a last minute addition.

@aaronpk Time capsule!

@aaronpk A separate low-voltage DC net to power all those ESPs?

@aaronpk pretty much the wires for the contact sensors (doors, windows), the fire alarm wiring and the wires from the alarm box to the horn and the touchscreen panels themselves
