@aaronpk is Github the only "external" IndieAuth supported provider right now? Other than email / pgp?

I temporarily edit my Github profile link for different sites right now, which is not ideal.

If you don't need Micropub support then your best bet is to remove the authorization_endpoint link so that the wiki will let you use any of its own supported options including Twitter.

If you do need Micropub support, then you're stuck with the current situation.

The wiki actually uses https://indielogin.com when you log in, which supports GitHub as well as Twitter and some other options.

If your site says to use indieauth.com then yes, GitHub is the only external authentication provider supported by indieauth.com.

Yeah, theoretically @patdryburgh & I ran some "official" events a couple of times, but going to keep it casual for now.

More about writing & info management than tools although I will demo my Jekyll + IndieKit template https://github.com/bmann/so-simple-indieweb

Doesn't need to be an "official" event to post there at all! As long as it's vaguely IndieWeb adjacent, that's a great place to post it so more people can find it!

This evening in #Vancouver, come join and work on your writing, blog tinkering, theme twiddling, or any other creative computer activity :)

IndieWeb friendly, I'm happy to do some demos.

Starts at 5:30pm in the @FISSIONcodes amenity room https://talk.fission.codes/t/work-on-your-writing-coworking/431

Awesome! Feel free to post that to https://events.indieweb.org as well!

Australia had the best coffee. Every time I'm here I'm reminded of how much better it is that what we have in the US.

Making Meetable Easier to Install

I've been working towards making Meetable more useful to others by making it easier to configure and deploy. I took a few shortcuts during the initial development that let me finish it faster, primarily by offloading authentication and image resizing to external services. While that's great for me, it means it requires setting up two additional projects if someone else wanted to get it running.

i just spent a few hours going through all my videos on youtube changing titles, adding new links, and adding mid-roll ads to videos more than 10 minutes. I'll report back with numbers in 30 days... would be interesting to see some changes in revenue and reach on older vids

oh no, please tell me this help article from Facebook is just way out of date...

https://www.facebook.com/help/249817848463304

"Why am I being asked to enter my email login information while trying to reset my Facebook password?"

They can't still be doing this, right?

@Facebook I thought this went away in April last year. Is the help page just a leftover artifact? Might be worth updating it!

I often talk about the tradeoffs between local and remote access token validation in my OAuth presentations. This blog post by my coworker is a nice demonstration of that in PHP! https://developer.okta.com/blog/2020/01/15/protecting-a-php-api-with-oauth

I was just asked to remove the "s" in the "https://" link on all my videos because apparently, the tracking link doesn't work? what on earth is that about? any web designers that understand why the "s" would matter?

that makes no sense. If a web page served from https (like youtube) links to an http link, then the target site *won't* get the URL that the link came from.

who asked this? one of the sites you link to? or some third party?

Apparently they're going to make a TV show about the founding of Twitter. People are angling for @JaredLeto to play me, but I hope @jvn gets the role.

Hehe, Flamingo suite has two rooms. A bedroom with full bath and then the “living” room with couches and chairs. But the best part is that it has a half bath for the living room. 🥳

We'll be next door to each other then! I just booked the LINQ also for the monorail access. Your room looks... a little fancier than mine 😂

Ok I might have missed CES this year but I'm really going to try and make it to NAB.

Who else is going to head that way this year?

Thanks for the reminder, I realized I hadn't booked my hotel yet! Just used a bunch of hotel points to book the LINQ which is on the light rail to the convention center, no cabs required!
