Problem: I keep seeing new SSB users who want same-as and decide to experiment with copying their secret file to multiple devices at the same time. This seems like it should work, and this sort of hacky ethos would usually be encouraged, but it's risky and will inevitably fork the feed.
Solution: Rewrite the secret file to move the warnings to the top, adding a warning about copying the secret file to a second device.
Result:
