       After literally decades of rolling my own single-person authentication to update my blog, I finally gave in and used Twitter for auth and 12 months later Elon pulled the plug.

       @seldo That sucks. Will you roll your own authentication system again, or use another third-party authentication system?

       @Alan Roll my own! It was really not that tricky given what a low-value target "you can post to Laurie's blog" is.

       @seldo @Alan You can use passkeys only. Eventually it will catch up.

       Oh my god my blog has so many more features than it appears to have when I try to replicate it.

       @seldo my biggest work project is like that - people see a straightforward site, but it does a million little UX and DX things on the front and back ends that are largely taken for granted.

       @seldo it's apparent simplicity is testament to the huge level of thought and work that went into it.

       You'll all be pleased to know I have migrated my blog to a shiny new back-end (though it looks exactly the same) and I am now able to post again without any interference from Elon Musk.
