Ask HN: Lightweight Authentication
24 by scoresmoke | 15 comments on Hacker News.
I want to let users log in to my proof-of-concept Web app. However, I don't want to maintain a fully-fledged authentication solution, managing logins, passwords, OAuth tokens, and their recovery. Ideally, I'd like to receive a unique user token and allow one to log in back if they decide to return. I don't need any user metadata. OpenID requires quite an effort and a provider like Google or Okta. The most-matching concept was Mozilla Persona, but it was shut down in 2016. What is the better way to implement this? Should I stick to the plain old login-password combination?

I'm currently in my early 20s and since getting a job as a software engineer, I started to save up more and more. For all the money not to go to waste and just sit in the bank account, I would like to start investing, and slowly add to it every month. What options do I have? I'm based in Europe if that matters. I also perfectly understand that safe means lower return and I'm perfectly fine with that, since I am going into this for a long term. Also, any useful resources regarding investment would be helpful (YouTube channels, books, etc.). Thank you!

Hi HN! Wikiwho is a tool that scans Wikipedia edits and extracts those coming from specific IP ranges associated to known organizations. I've made this as a for-fun side project two years ago. If you want to read more on how it works I've written a short blog article about it here: https://ift.tt/rKhSq1k... I had already posted it here at the time (previous discussion: https://ift.tt/WJ3pUKD ) but I've now decided to release the code openly, hence the repost. If you're insterested, you can check the repo here: https://ift.tt/wlai8OD (disclaimer: the code is a bit clumsy). Cheers!
