I didn’t expect it to be that expensive

Good to know, but this is a security risk of the note taking app, not of the encryption method itself.

If you are storing manly on one device and are looking for a relatively “simple” solution for encryption at rest I would suggest to just encrypt the folder/directory/image the data are living in.

Of course, this way you have to decrypt the data while you are using it. However, it separates the responsibility from the note taking app.

This may or may not be a good solution for your use case, but it should be fast and easy to implement.

I used to do this with some mildly sensitive data using a mac encrypted disk image with plain markdowns files inside. I accessed the files with vscode, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work with Obsidian. It may just be a bit of a hassle to open the vault each time.

That’s cool. Thank you for the explanation.

Am I missing something? Isn’t the current version 4.3?

Yes, the headline feels very disingenuous. They are working with composers from those games… I don’t feel they are going to have the same influence some game designers would have had.

I think the price is fair from a labour point of view, however, I feel like there may be an issue of offer and demand.

If you are not doing a specific commission (someone asked for it) who is going to buy it? I don’t see many people spending that much money on an utilitarian object where the art, for how nice it is, isn’t going to add much.

You may find someone for which money is not an issue and want something “extravagant” on display in their office, like a lawyer or a doctor. But I think is a small niche.

This also taking into consideration how sturdy the piece is. A regular folder can get damaged pretty quickly, which may put people off from buying it. Which may be doubly so if the art could get scratched or is unprotected.
