Here's a crazy simple way to implement Persona authentication for your Apache-deployed apps/sites: https://github.com/mozilla/mod_authnz_persona (I know Apache may not …

Have a look at mine: https://bitbucket.org/djc/persona-totp It's less than 150 LOC of Python code (plus some HTML templates and a few basic tests).…

All the software for running a server is open source, I think, so in that sense it should be possible. Whether there will still be enough prefs such that you can get Firefox to sync against a differen…

Did you consider/play with Lilypond at all?

We had the Humanscale Freedom at the office, and they were kind of crappy. Not much back support (at least for me, 6'2), and they break all the time ...

I emailed them to recommend Persona. Would get rid of the separate email verification step, too.

I'm pretty sure Brian currently works for Mozilla.

If you want to run your own IdP, look at this thing: https://bitbucket.org/djc/persona-totp Also, the reason the server is busy is because Tin Can currently needs a forked versio…
