I have a #tiddlywiki as my start page in Firefox.
When I woke up this morning, my Firefox had upgraded to v57 and of course that meant that New Tab Homepage[0] doesn't work anymore. I guess it actually does work, but extensions aren't allowed (as I learned from the New Tab Override documentation[1]) to load things from the local file system.
So I put it up on #ipfs instead. Now the inline images from #coingecko won't even try to load. No idea why. Tried my localhost gateway and gateway.ipfs.io. Help?

As I mess about with this, I get the impulse to look at what else is in my wiki, apart from the start page. I know there's a #guix intend-to-package page in there, but I discovered I also wrote something on #SFC, #SFLC and #debian 18 months ago, which apparently I never posted anywhere! That's the only page in the wiki apart from the start page and the guix page.
That I would discover that post right now, how's that for #synchronicity?
NOTE: History had Debian go with the Conservancy interpretation rather than the Law Center interpretation, and not shipping ZFS in the kernel.

Solipsistic commentary on myself, as usual:
> So the CDDL allows binaries to be licensed any way the vendor likes ... how is it then copyleft?
It's a weak copyleft, like the LGPL or the MPL. But the analysis that the CDDL allows combining the works so it doesn't matter much that the GPL doesn't is still a novel one, and goes against two decades of interpretation doctrine.

@tryphon Using it as the start page has been an absolute killer app for me, but it's been degrading over time.
First the TiddlyFox plugin was upgraded to show a big red warning that I'm using the wiki in several tabs and might confuse myself. I'm *always* using the wiki in several tabs, it's my start page! So now that plugin is useless, and I have to save any changes to a different file and then move that file over to the original location. But that's ok, I don't edit it super often.
And now the security upgrade that doesn't allow me to use plugins to show a file: page, and when I put it elsewhere it couldn't inline external images for some reason, so now I can't usably have it as a start page anymore.

@pointlessone You can't set the new tab page without a plugin. The home page is just for when you open a fresh browser (or maybe a new window, not sure).

@pointlessone Tried it now. It does nothing.

@pointlessone I quit and came back. Nope.

@pointlessone I'm guessing you have an extension somewhere you forgot about. :-)

@tryphon Haven't bothered to customize anything in those, so I wouldn't know.

@tryphon Sure, but here we are, billions of people with limited time trying to converge on tools that suit us. :)
