Build your personal knowledge base with Trilium Notes - GitHub - zadam/trilium: Build your personal knowledge base with Trilium Notes

I mean Trilium is fantastic app, lots of potential but the developer is struggling on his own, maybe it’s because it’s younger than logseq or maybe because is open source compared to obsidian. I think it’s the best note-taking/knowledge-base/second-brain i know it virtually could link everything you posses toghter to create a gigantic wiki, so much potential. Plus it has its own self hostable syncing server and web app. Guys give it a look and tell me what you think

    I’m not calling you names, I’m calling you out on misinformation. There is such a thing as facts, and it’s important that we don’t misconstrue them.

    Optional signing of commits in git is not the same thing as mandatory signing of all packages.

    Fact: If I download software with apt in Debian, It’s 100% going to verify the cryptographic authenticity of that package. If the signature doesn’t match, it won’t proceed with the install (unless I choose to override the warning).

    Fact: If I download software with flatpak, it may download maliciously modified software and install it without verifying its authenticity.

    I’m not aware of any way to configure flatpak to force it to verify the signature of releases between download & install (so if the signature is unavailable or invalid, it does not install the software). Again, flatpak is not a safe way to download software, and I don’t think it’s possible to configure it to be safe.

    If I’m the one spreading misinformation, then show me the documentation from flatpak that indicates that all packages are verified by their PGP key after download.

    I think it’s a fairly reasonable expectation that a software repo won’t download malicious software. Flatpak doesn’t do that.

      The first link I sent says that flatpak does not allow users to override GPG and allow unsigned flatpaks unless they are root.

        That’s not users of flstpak, that’s developers. This applies to developers uploading to flstpak. There isnot security for end-users downloading from flatpaks.
