    Well, here it’s already Saturday… but I am still in my notable/not notable quantum superposition.

    What does it look like over there?

    surprising amount of overlap between the “there are only two genders, you can’t deny science” and the “don’t get vaccinated, the scientists are liars” crowd

    Say what you will about Elon, but it is truly impressive to be so uncool to your very core that despite every potential resource on the planet at your disposal you still make a service so spectacularly lame that guys who make 50 mil a year will make a point not to give you $8

    11) Tonight is another test of that resilience. While a lot of web3 stuff has proven nonsense, the underlying principle that creators should have ownership in the consumer facing platforms that their content powers is still a vibrant idea, one most creators passionately believe.

    1) As someone who was (briefly) in charge of the Twitter Media team - the group tasked with getting high profile people onto Twitter, and verification - AND as one of the few ever to voluntarily give up the blue check, I want to try to articulate how risky this policy change is.

    SafeBase64 protects against path traversal or path manipulation where urlencoding and normal Base64 do not!
    Aaron Parecki
    Ultimately the question is where does the untrusted data come from and how is it used, because URL-safe-base64-encoding a "../" will just decode to "../" on the other side.

    This is about to get a lot worse tomorrow when all the legacy blue checkmarks disappear and Twitter is left with only paid blue checks. The scammers will undoubtedly pay for some verified checks to gain more legitimacy.

    How do you safely do this?

    HTTPS://site.com/data/ + protect(untrusted);

    URL encoding is not the answer, it still allows path traversal. Base64 encoding is not the answer, the + and / characters, legal in base64, can skew a URL.
    Aaron Parecki
    what kind of protection? A JWT could work there, it uses only URL safe characters, and is integrity protected. If you don't need integrity protection then just URL safe Base64 I guess

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.
