ANECDOTE

Hosts Bonded Over Bloons TD6

  • Nathan and Henry bonded early in the podcast over playing Bloons Tower Defense 6 and it became an ongoing running joke.
  • Henry later maxed out the game and stopped playing because he got bored with harder modes.
ADVICE

Use Self-Hosted Notes For Privacy

  • Try self-hosted note solutions (Nextcloud, Synology, CryptPad) if you want privacy and sharing features without Obsidian Sync.
  • Use Crypti or Standard Notes for encryption but accept trade-offs in collaboration or features.
INSIGHT

We Need Better Private Notes Apps

  • The hosts argue the ecosystem has too many encrypted messengers and not enough well-built private notes apps.
  • They encourage programmers to build privacy-respecting shared notes apps instead of another messenger.
