jacky who knew the hardest part of auth is _proving_ who you are? lol
#
aaronpk 😂
#
jacky tbh this is only getting more 'challenging' b/c the interface for things like the consent screen are packed into a SPA-ish thing
#
jacky I miss sessions, lol

[tw2113_Slack_] who are we, really?
#
jacky the ultimate question
#
jacky slightly related, I'm starting to understand the 'perks' of using `www`
#
jacky like namely for pushing a Web browser to the 'right' place
#
aaronpk the only technical reason for www is because DNS doesn't allow you to create a CNAME for a root domain
#
aaronpk and it's a pretty crap reason, but unfortunately is baked deep into too many pieces of software that it's unlikely to ever change
#
aaronpk instead, DNS providers are fixing it by making their own ways to create what are effectively CNAME records, sometimes called "ALIAS" records and i forget the other names they use, which basically let you avoid defining an explicit IP address in an A record and instead copy that record from elsewhere on the fly with a low TTL, to simulate a CNAME record as an A record
#
jacky TIL for real
#
jacky wishes he had a /TIL bit on his site
#
jacky I'd 100% link that bit in it lol
#
jacky I think I noticed this with DNSimple re: ALIAS records
#
sknebel and the CNAME is only a concern because HTTP doesn't use a protocol-specific record instead of A ;)
#
aaronpk it's legacy turtles all the way down
#
jacky lol to a degree, it's really "do what you want and deal with what happens" kind of protocl

[snarfed] i love no-www for personal sites…but in industry, one common reason for not using naked domains for web sites/apps is that the logged out home page has marketing trackers and analytics. if you use a separate subdomain for your app, you can more easily sandbox those trackers to just the marketing site, so they don’t ever get access to logged in users

#
[girrodocus] I’ve been exploring TiddlyWiki for the last few days. Looks like TiddlyWiki on Fission might solve some problems: editing one tiddlywiki
#
[girrodocus] across different devices, providing hosting, rendering static sites based on the wikis, private and encrypted (end to end) if needed (no passwords), and it sounds like you can host your own data too. Seems like they’re a startup and haven’t decided prices yet but they say they’re a development platform so rather than comparing to e.g. tiddlyhost they would be the service that projects like that are developed and run in? I’m a noob s

[girrodocus] misunderstanding a lot. https://blog.fission.codes/tiddlywiki-community-chat/

[chrisaldrich] I have tried Fission's version before and don't know how they're doing that [girrodocus]. They are at least aware of IndieWeb, so hopefully that piece will smooth out other potential issues.
