If you also add some industrial elements to it bands like igorrr come to mind.
From a maximum security perspective, you should be checking all the code you install on your computer. No matter if it is foss, audited by some group, or proprietary (if possible). What would stop a bad actor from auditing malicious code and approving it?
As for sandboxing, there's multiple options, not the least of which is containerization.
Again, security is a compromise. More security normally comes at some cost just as less security does.
But back to the topic of the post. You are complaining that SimpleX doesn't work when installed though a flatpak (because one doesn't exist). So perhaps it's not a good software to rely on flatpaks for. Unless you choose to only install software via flatpaks, to which I'd say that's admirable but also perhaps needlessly limiting. Either way it's your choice, but I would suggest some open mindedness of options that may let you use the software you want.
I have not tried it. But this doc seems to make sense and isn't very opinionated.

One of the aspects that is glossed over in this doc however is the networking parts. There are many ways to setup your DNS, certificates, and ingress depending on how/where you are hosting the container.
Security is a compromise between convenience and safety.
However, simply using flatpaks isn't inherently more secure than using a binary or compiling from source. But it can make it easier to be secure for people that don't want to manage their own sandboxes.
It's also easier for devs so they only have to make one version of their app which in theory should work on all systems. But in practice I find it doesn't always work that way
Personally, I do the opposite. I try to avoid flatpaks and the like. And the AUR enables that really well
Would you like docs on just the docker component or a kubernetes centered doc?
Yep SimpleX works great. Although every time I read the name I think of herpes.
Matrix via docker is pretty simple actually.
Took me like 30 mins to set it up exactly like I wanted on my kubernetes cluster.
You should try a few more.
I'm not sure why Spirited away seems to be the go to Ghibli film (maybe it is less offensive) but it's probably one of my least favorites from the studio.
