    Congrats Google, you have written one of the most vague and unhelpful shutdown emails ever, yet somehow I am not surprised.

    I realized that looking at your profile, where you have an @ your own server. This ain’t your grandfather’s social network, is it.

    It's been a long time since I've done a full day marathon coding session, but I am nearly done with a tool that will archive your entire Flickr account as a static website that you can browse entirely offline!

  • Syndicating My Tips to Foursquare

    I realized I have been avoiding leaving tips in Foursquare because I didn't have a good way to post them from my website. So today I added the ability to syndicate my posts as Foursquare tips.

    I'm thinking of how to pull my Google Maps Timeline data in a machine-readable format. I want a GPS tracker project like @aaronpk's!

    also I need a nickname cache and interface for posting those checkin spots! #itches

    So, I'm migrating my YouTube subscriptions to Microsub, thanks to YouTube's RSS support. I think that when I make my own IndieWeb reader, I'll special-case YouTube posts by adding a YouTube embed inside of them. Or maybe by downloading the video with yt-dl and offering it as a u-video. It'll also serve as an archive... but my HDD would explode!

    I deleted all my tweets (I saved the archive) with a plan to let a bot take over, but the bot is still saying stuff like, "To win it doesn’t take ribs playing football (when the username and donuts play Netrunner)" so I'm a little worried about it giving it full control...

    Just downloaded my @instagram dump and I'm pretty disappointed. 😔

    • My comments include only the comment text, a timestamp, and the photo author. No way to know what I'm commenting on
    • Same for photos I've liked
    • There's no indication of likes or comments on my own photos

    I just had a very pleasant experience installing and setting up Gogs.io on my server, so that I can self-host my private repositories.

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.
