[tw] Re: Is there a permanent TiddlyFox solution?
Yeah I actually do have system level encryption turned on, so I'm fine if someone were to physically steal my laptop but I primarily use TiddlyWiki at work connected to my work domain. I don't necessarily trust every IT user that walks in the door or is planning to leave the company. So the technically double encryption I was using with the single file was necessary in my opinion. Even besides protecting my data from an internal rogue admin, an outside actor might compromise an privileged domain account trawl the network and grab my data. I'm considering putting my node.js tiddly inside of a veracrypt container (as recommended <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1073#issuecomment-330896212> by Jeremy) but that will be a lot more cumbersome than the single file full encryption was and really I'll be similarly vulnerable once the container is mounted and unencrypted. Maybe I'm overthinking that, I'm sure even with the the single file encryption there were vulnerabilities to consider, but it seems fairly trivial to me to grab the unencrypted file sitting on the file-system once the OS is unlocked.

I converted over to Node.js but I guess now I've lost the ability to encrypt all my tiddlers <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1073>? There's a plugin <https://github.com/danielo515/TW5-EncryptTiddlerPlugin> to manually encrypt tiddlers but it looks abandoned without the important feature of confirming the password <https://github.com/danielo515/TW5-EncryptTiddlerPlugin/issues/4>(I want to avoid ruining a tiddler with one typo). Whatever option for moving past FF57 becomes consensus (and I fully agree with Riz's concerns) I hope easy full encryption will still be an option. If I move over to TiddlyServer is there a workable path toward that?

>From the FirefoxESR page: "Who is it not for? Individual users who always want the latest features, performance enhancements and technologies in their browser without waiting for them to become available in ESR several development cycles later." Unfortunately I fall into that camp but the further I look into FF57 (I think I've been caught off guard since most of my preferred add-ons are getting the ax and no word on 57+ updates) I might be using FirefoxESR while I try to settle on a new browser. As far as TiddlyWiki the replies here have really helped, I'll be looking into converting over to Node.JS or maybe dig into TiddlyServer.

Forgive my ignorance, I've looked for some kind of consensus on what happens when TiddlyFox stops working when Firefox 57 gets here but haven't really found one. For a long time TiddlyWiki/TiddlyFox user what's the best course of action if I'm not willing to give up standard Firefox (I don't really like the idea of using something like FirefoxESR)? Or what options are there? I feel like I must be missing something, seems like main TiddlyWiki.com instructions would stop advising you to install TiddlyFox if it's slated to stop working?
