wormwhole works amazing!

Does this work? @TNTBOMBOM

ZeroNet inside of Whonix-ws doesn't permit content publishing following actual guide: https://www.whonix.org/wiki/ZeroNet and the proposed code change into ZeroNet https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet/pull/484#issuecomment-472620641 is not working as it is.

I also noticed the file "~/.tb/first-boot-home-population.done" which suggests that whonix does something on first boot

Sorry not reproducible on my end. May be related to the fact that you are running a non-standard setup with custom compiled binaries. By running packages from your distro there is a higher chance that bugs are more visible for more people and more likely to be fixed.

made no difference.

It could be the VM is confused because apparently there are two types of mice attached. I assumed that by adding virtio-mouse it would override and replace the emulated one. Turns out its not this way and I went ahead and reverted this config which should be effective in the next release.
