Quaraman, I would rarely upload content, just type it into a tiddlywiki. On one hand I really can not see any way for such regulations to apply to my personal IP that no one can access (without hacking) has no information/copywrite material about anyone else that is not publicly available. On

Tony, first: the draft of this copyright proposal speaks about websites that offer user content upload. And you are a user of your own site! So you need an upload filter to monitor your own behavior! But they can be exceptions for some sites/companies... At this time nobody can exactly answer

The IP address for tiddlyspot.com is issued to Dreamhost.com. Dreamhost is a California US based company. But they could have servers anywhere. On Thursday, November 8, 2018 at 10:27:37 AM UTC-5, Mark S. wrote: > > Is the EU looking at small sites that narrowly? > > Where is tiddlyspot.com

Hi Mark, the Eu is looking after youtube and other big player. But how that is affecting a small site is something we only see then the law is out next year. And who defines what a small site in the context of this law is? Welcome in #neuland where politicians see that something like internet

Quaraman, Lets see if I can remove the riddle. If I build a website for me, online but behind a passphrase and on PHP and store personal information and media on it, the only user is me, I will not be taking me to task, and if my partner or trusted colleague also has access I would not be too

Hi Tony, without prooving against user failure it is very easy. But that is risky as explained before. from tiddlywiki perspective it could be a html form that you present with a submit button that trigger the php script. the php script then read the data it gets. That this function the

Quaraman, Not withstanding your concerns, I still see value in being able to read and write using PHP independently of TiddlyWikis save steps. Remember such a website can be restricted to a single user with SSL and multiple levels of authentication, then all that would be permitted it to write

Hi Tony, this is to unspecific to answer the questions. What is your concrete case? This type of extension is easy to program - only to save a file. But as I described earlier : the difficult part is to decide how to handle the rights and/or the security and/or your need to proove against such

Sven, If the functions exposed were limited like can only save to a specific filename etc could we make it safer? If however this wiki would be behind a password and only trusted users had access, how far could we take this and would it be difficult?. I would appreciate your advice. Regards

Hi TonyM, it depends what you mean with writing files. The act to do this is easy. But to make it save against attacks can be harder. For example: If the php script has a failure in the checking who can upload and what is allowed to be saved on the server, you allow attackers to upload potential
