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.
