5 monthsWhat about
nano? Is it OK to choose a safe middle ground? I mean withedI could just as well use butterflies.BTW, notepad++ is popular on Windows. That’s the sort of software what gets hijacked.

Vim and Emacs are popular in ultra critical environments, and as far as we know they aren’t compromised by any intelligence agency.

Thank you for not only the laughter this morning but also for perfectly explaining why I always go for nano.

You know, I know the command to leave is written every time emacs is opened, but it confuses me every time.

im pretty sure you can operate emacs with only one finger with some insane configuration tho

Yes. They call it “Evil Mode”.

lol, but evil is vim keybinds. i was thinking of something more like morse code with one key

I’m pretty sure someone already did a Morse IME that could be used for that.
I have – were I more artistically talented – often wanted to create graphics and stickers for Emacs utilizing the noble octopus.

You operate better in Emacs if you touch type, but you should learn to touch type if you work in an editor a lot
You rarely need to hold more than crtl, shift and a character, and you have ctrl and shift both sides of the keyboard so it’s easy
Meta is toggled in the default configuration tap it then do whatever key combinations.
Ctrl+g cancels partly complete commands

I dunno now I’m intrigued to check out emacs. Somehow I learned all the complex finger-ballet to operate Blender mostly by keyboard shortcuts as intended, so maybe that’ll soften the learning curve? :D

Yeah micro is my go to these days when i just want a terminal editor that does require me to learn a whole new system for something I’ve been doing most of my life

I love nano, if only because nano means child in my language, and as slang it’s more or less equivalent to “bro”
Bro, please I need to edit my docker compose.
I know it’s only funny for me. That’s enough
I spend several hours cursing the creators of Golang for making their language so annoying to compile on anything but the most common architectures.
Then I realised I could compile micro-2.14 with gcc-go…

Great book, I still occasionally use its “glass teletypes” when referring to screens
Upstream infrastructure was compromised. Implying it’s a fault with Notepad++ fault is disingenuous. What OSS maintainer is going to think, “I need to pick a hosting provider that’s not going to get hacked by the Chinese government”? Unless your favorite editor is being hosted on infrastructure hardened against state level hackers, it’s not any better.

Did you not read the part about n++ not changing/rotating credentials? I think there’s enough blame to go around.

They also weren’t doing any kind of SSL verification for the download request, nor were they doing any kind of hash verification or signing. The former would have prevented a redirect attack in the first place, and the latter would have prevented downloaded files from being modified or swapped out.
I did not because the only part I actually cared about was the bullshit clickbait title.

Believe it or not, but ed (or in Addition sed) gets used quite a lot when editing files or strings in bash scripts.
I’ve used a lot of sed but never ed. Should skim the man page at sone point.
here is a nice little video about ed that made me want to try it, it’s a very good creator in general https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoyNMFccbow
Emacs* is bloatware
Vims just bloat on ed
ed is the only answer.
Our true salvation
*being an acronym for “Eight Megabytes And Currently Swapping”
I have 16 Megs of RAM. I’m not going to waste 50% of it on a damn text editor.

But what if you don’t get it?
Ed. /s
(Except actually I guess that could happen)
When I use an editor, I don’t want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless help screens and cursor positioning code! I just want an EDitor!! Not a “viitor”. Not a “emacsitor”. Those aren’t even WORDS!!! ED! ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!

I f’ing love emacs, but don’t get cocky. It’s a security disaster.
Well, if you use any packages fetched from the net anyway.
- 5 months
I was being like 99% facetious and the 1% serious has more to do with how eMacs updates are distributed as compared to Notepad++. To your point, any non-vetted packages would be a huge source of risk, and even vetted packages should be monitored.

editors are bloat, manually flip the bits you want with your HANDS like a REAL programmer
- REDACTED@infosec.pubEnglish5 months
Correct me if I’m wrong, but initial news about it serving malicious updates were false. You never got anything malicious thru updates, neither was the exe file/installer tampered with. The worst they actually did was redirect you to a fake site when pressing download, where the malicious file was distributed. GitHub and signed versions were never affected. What’s also interesting is that the attacker selectively redirected people, not all of them. I always installed n++ using Ninite, so I’m in the clear.
The whole thing seems blown out of proportions. The amount of affected people is likely very small.

Standard editor for what?
On every 386BSD distro Vi(or VIshual editor) is the standard
the only book i own on text editing
