    My brain hurts. I have an old Philips Hue @tweethue bulb and it appears that it’s flickering at 50Hz, even though I’m on 60Hz power. If I set the camera to 1/50th it’s fine… 1/60th it flickers. Of course all other lights are fine at 1/60. How is this even possible.
    Aaron Parecki
    Ohh I think my old ones do that too!

    Been there. Frantically hoping it downloads on my spotty cell service from the runway.

    If @LauraKalbag's talk is making you think about your own web presence, go look into the #IndieWeb movement. I'm still new to it because I never have time to work on my blog, but in theory it what I am aiming for! #naconf

    I love hearing @LauraKalbag encourage people to avoid using Medium and instead create your own website #IndieWeb #naconf @naconf

    There's some sound #indieWeb advice from @LauraKalbag here at #naconf

    👉 Self host where possible
    👉 Post to your own site first, then publish to third party apps
    👉 Your site will be better than Medium anyway 😅

    Reminds me of the quote from Teller (of Penn & Teller) – "Sometimes magic is just someone spending more time on something than anyone else might reasonably expect."

    The decision of something being a good technical fit and something being a sound investment is often not done by the same person, so it would be a complex obstacle.

    I would much prefer support to be a progressive enhancement that can be dealt with in parallel to shipping stuff.

    My summer go-to is a Negroni (gin, campari, vermouth, bitters), winter is Boulevardier season (bourbon, campari, vermouth, bitters). Can you tell I like Campari?

    I'm imagining a world where email servers handle identity, and authorization servers handle delegation, after confirmation ownership over the email identity.
    Aaron Parecki
    ‪While that sounds nice in theory, the real world is more complicated. Apple's OAuth server is a great example. User IDs are scoped to the app to prevent cross correlation, and the app gets a proxy email instead of the user's real email. Users don't always want to be identified.‬

    Don't get me wrong, I think URLs for client IDs is a great idea, which I intend to use. I'm just less sold on URLs for user IDs. Everyone already has email addresses, and they also come with a relatively reliable protocol for contacting the owner.
    Aaron Parecki
    I was trying to say feel free to pick and choose and use just the client ID part. I think that'd be a huge benefit for OAuth as a whole for the exact kind of use case you're talking about.

    Ahhh that's what IndieAuth is. I was reading up on it, but didn't see any information about the spec on the website. I think my main hesitance towards it is the use of domains. I just don't see the average user buying their own domain. Emails seems more realistic for unique IDs.
    Aaron Parecki
    ‪Doesn't have to be a top level domain, just a URL. Both users and apps are identified by URLs. ‬

    ‪I do think there's value in just client IDs being URLs in some cases, demonstrated by the fact that Home Assistant picked out just that part of the spec for their OAuth API.‬

    I like to think of myself as a somewhat organized person.

    But all these SD cards have photos and videos from different trips and projects and cameras, in no particular order, and I really need to sort out what has already been backed up and what exists only on the cards.

    have their own custom domain for their instance, hosting an auth server. If someone wants to develop an app to talk to my service, they would have to register it with the instance of every user, which is impossible. Am I missing something? 2/2
    Aaron Parecki
    You're not wrong.

    You may want to give this a read, which addresses that exact problem: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/07/7/oauth-for-the-open-web

    We use this a lot for the case you're talking about, where app developers have no relationship with the OAuth service the app is talking to.

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.
