Bug fixed. Give it another go.

Nick Gerakines @ngerakines.me · 1h

Ayyy good find!

So, to answer your question, that is what it's for, but there's no way to go from "@ngerakines.me" to protected resource metadata document because it involves DID document lookup and most OAuth clients don't understand that.

Sure, but with ATProtocol OAuth, you need to know how to resolve the protected resource source (#atproto_pds service) and there's no standard or mechanism in OAuth to translate handle to protected resource.

Something like 3.1 in RFC 9728

Hey Graze Nation! Want to include bridged accounts from all over the social web in your feed? Be sure to include this block 👇🏻
#grazenation @graze.social #feeds

for clarity this was the block that did the trick

REGEX: User Labels contains bridged-from-bridgy-fed.*

Not exactly confusing, but it'd be great if there was an OAuth extension that supported authorization server lookup. Having a resource that could be used to determine which authorization server to connect to for a hint would really improve client integration.

How does one sell video (not adult content) on the internet these days? With the ATProtocol OAuth Masterclass wrapped up, I'm thinking about making a non-interactive series of videos (one for each part). Preferably with Stripe integration but flexible. #LazyWeb

Demo of creating posts from an iOS app using ATProtocol OAuth.

I think this is the most backbone I've ever seen Pelosi show. Nice.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 5h

Pelosi: "Democrats who created Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, all of that, are now being asked to reject that so we can give a tax cut to the rich. We're not doing it. It isn't a question of, 'let's come back together so we can discuss it.' That isn't going to happen."

I just spent 4 hours having my mind expanded with an ATProto OAuth shaped crowbar thanks to the inimitable @ngerakines.me

I have a very tiny brain but after I have gone over the content some more I am excited to play!

Total cost to host hundreds to thousands of users with object storage (minio, s3, or the like) is in the order of dozens to low hundreds of dollars a month. Main cost is prob going to be bandwidth.

Running a slim PDS and including an admin verification method to migrate users between PDS instances for balancing and management purposes is also not a bad idea IMO.

At a technical level not a lot. You probably want a sign-up interface that performs some basic identity verification (email confirm link) that generates an invite code to create an account with.
