I noticed this when I was testing twederation. I don't know that the server I use compresses data and even if it did I'm sure the host provider is counting final file size, not compression stream.
I think if it could be configured so the user gets to choose whether TW uses an external library, and what library that is, that it would satisfy the demands for security and privacy. I would assume that the default core would be at TiddlyWiki.com, but people might put their own library on a server that was closer. -- Mark On Tuesday, May 9, 2017 at 8:23:21 AM UTC-7, Arlen Beiler wrote: > > Yes, yes, I know.
