    The web was already a massive decentralization compared to the "online services" model like Compuserve and Delphi.

    Just implement many many good independent websites that aren't Facebook and Amazon.

    I talk all the time to artists who say “I just want to support my work, and it seems like there’s an audience.” or individuals who say “I found a nice, welcoming community that’s having fun talking about art and tech.” Those are reasonable views. And we should engage with them.

    I think one of the hugest things web3 people seem to be confused about is that somehow building systems that expect less trust will fundamentally fix problems of trust – it's a nihilist approach to systems engineering that speaks more to their psychology than any sound theory

    If there's a "thing" you can point to and there's global consensus about it, it's centralized. I'm sorry, I don't make the rules, just stating scientific facts.

    True decentralization doesn't involve a conceptually centralized blockchain, change my mind.

    Game programmers: My code takes over a millisecond to execute. I am a failure and have dishonored my family.

    Other programmers: lol this hash function makes a web call who knew?

    This sounds super interesting! Have you written about it?
    Aaron Parecki
    I haven't written anything specific about it because it's mostly a bunch of low-level gibberish around http signing and creating funny JSON blobs, but I did spin out the code into a standalone service I've used for other bots https://github.com/aaronpk/Nautilus

    I was completely happy with my income until a friend told me that if you fly on private jets you don't have to go through the airport or TSA. They just drive you right to the plane door. Welp, back to work 😭

    Alright, I'm officially over #Log4J.

    Not saying anything in my org is patched.

    Just saying I'm done worrying about it & am moving on w/my life.

    Y'all need to stop living in fear.

    Just accept that exploits happen & if it's your company's time to be breached, it's their time.

    I'm getting questions if curl or libcurl are vulnerable to the log4j CVEs.

    Clearly not even users and customers quite understand software stacks.

    Yes and no, I know that I myself at least wouldn’t be happy to have the IndieWeb referenced as a “fediverse”, but then again, I’m a bit burnt after I implemented OStatus for Flattr back in the days only to see the very downside of a federated approach when it comes to longevity…
    Aaron Parecki
    I've implemented ActivityPub directly into my website, so my website is its own ActivityPub instance in the Fediverse. So there's definitely some overlap and grey areas between the two, but yeah generally Fediverse refers to the ActivityPub model of many ppl on one instance.

    Fully agree with this point. There is so much prior art about decentralization being ignored. But most of the fediverse/indieweb folks I see have not engaged with decentralization fans to say "we've got stuff that's better/cheaper/already works".

    There definitely are others - I think ABQ and ATL come to mind where I’ve seen locals refer to the area/city by that same code.

    Chloe’s right about SFO though :)
    Aaron Parecki
    Oh yea I think I've heard that about ATL before, but didn't know about ABQ!

    I think I've said "SF" a grand total of like 4 times, and I 100% agree that if someone said "SFO" I would in no way assume they mean the city

    The "O" in "SFO" stands for "omfg I can't believe I'm having to defend and explain something like this- get a hobby, and at least do a sensible Google/Bing search before you correct me on Twitter like a jester in town square for all to see" 🃏🤡

    SFO is the airport code, not the city. If you tell me you're visiting SFO, I assume you're just having a layover.
    Aaron Parecki
    Interestingly we do actually refer to the city of Portland by our airport code PDX but I realize we are an exception here 🤷‍♂️

    That feeling when you're going through a website's registration flow and even though it's custom branded and looks unique there's something oddly familiar about it, then you look up the DNS records for their domain and realize they're pointing to @okta 😅

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.
