Run DOS in an emulator?

Read mail?

Does it come with default keybindings for save, open, copy, paste and marking text?

 

[AmpleApricots]

vim is a text editor with scripting functionality, emacs is an extendable and self-documenting (e)lisp VM that is oriented around text buffers. For emacs, editing the text is a feature it offers. Fudamentally, it is a platform that runs elisp. The differences that spring from that should be self-evident. That's why it's relatively straightforward to e.g. implement modality in emacs.

 

[Frederica Bernkastel]

Emacs is an extensible editor, in every sense of the word, and that's one of its biggest draws. There are tens of thousands of possible plugins you could incorporate into your configuration, and you can program the editor to do nearly anything you need when handling text. Yes, it's overwhelming, but don't let that detract you.

Emacs having the ability to be an IRC client, a web browser, file manager, a text editor, an e-mail client, a shell terminal and RSS reader is pretty amazing. My problem with it, however, it doesn't seem to have a decent plexer to run all that. I use the command line a lot, so, tmux is crucial. Tmux just works a lot better with vim bindings than emacs binds in my experience.

So dnsmasq keeps crashing so I disabled it, re-enabled systemd-resolved, and installed a DNS docker image that should be a bit more reliable.

ok, so i was wonderign why my server was runnign slow and turns out I had a process called xmrig running. Since i didn't install a bitcoin miner that's not a good sign.

Any chance it was related to the updates i had put off for a week? i have no idea how i failed the pen test, as I didn't think i needed to study for it. O removed Authentik because it never worked and installed Emby and that's pretty much it

So far it looks like my handbrake docker image was compromised

Can you see in config or log files what pool it was mining for?

The absolute state of Docker shit. Also, this is what you get for using ffmpeg for niggers.

I wonder how many Vim users are like me and just use the default keybindings for bash or zsh or fish as well as tmux

Tmux has a vi mode, and I use it as a persist session and statusbar because Hyprland doesn't come with one
It's much simpler than using a dedicated bar
I use oksh as a shell, and I haven't touched any of the keybindings either

I don't use Wayland; what does all of that mean

Window managers like dwm, i3 etc have a "Statusbar" at the top or bottom that can feed you system information such as battery life, time, date etc
Tmux can emulate this feature by putting one at the bottom of your terminal
Hyprland is a window manager, like dwm, without a statusbar

Looking back I set up tmux with plugins tmux-sensible, tmux-git-status (which I never look at anyway because oh-my-fish has that covered) and tmux-resurrect which is the most consequential as it's like restoring tabs from a web browser on the next session. Never did anything besides that.

I don't use any plugins for tmux. Vi mode, terminal session saving, and the status-bar are all builtin for tmux
Also, tmux, along with oksh, was made by the OpenBSD foundation. They made a lot of stuff Linux people use even though they may have never used OpenBSD

You should see where you got the docker image from. If it's the most popular option for Handbrake, it could mean the dev's account got hacked and you should publicize it more.

I also saw you post in the piracy thread, any chance that a video was embedded with malware that got ran through there?

RE: X11 security

I've yet to find an actual example of Xorg being hijacked to take down an entire organizations machine infrastructure.

Judging by how Wayland shills sound, your current xsession should have been hijacked by ninety-nine Russians.

Two reasons:
1) X11 as root is the default and retarded (imho)
2) X assumes all applications are trusted and won't cause issues. Lmao at chromium/FF.

Anyone using Linux here remember their first time using it? Why did you switch and what was it like?

I was asked to take a slackware cd to a friend in Asia. I ended up being too autistic (but not autistic enough to manually do everything) and resource starved compared to then current systems that the flag optimizations on gentoo were worth it. For the longest time I used a bunch of old ass Toshiba Satellites as laptops that I could get for basically free..

When was that feature added? Even very recent articles are still talking about tmux-resurrect and tmux-continuum.

I with eternal suffering and torment unto the arch linux developers and Poettering. They all will burn in hell for their crimes of soyware.
SystemD-free arch forks aren't enough. Using arch is like having sex with a prostitute who has AIDS and herpes, using artix is like having sex with the same prostitute who now doesn't have herpes.
I'm switching to Void.

Now that I've shut down work for the winter, I decided it was finally time to overhaul my workstation and laptop. The lappy was a slimbook with KDE Neon installed, which was allegedly tailored to the laptop hardware (or something like that). I've recommende Neon in the past, despite it having systemd, because at the time it presented the best version of KDE Plasma available. Kubuntu was weird and badly configured, and debian/devuan seem to treat it as an afterthought. I haven't tried Mint. Workstation was Devuan because I'm a masochist I guess.

Anyway, Neon became more and more unstable over the last year. They forced out Plasma 6 before it was ready. After fixing most of the major bugs in that, the upgrade of the underlying Ubuntu base to 24.04 broke everything to the point that my machine wouldn't even boot. After some investigation, I found it had created a bunch of extra UEFI entries, none of which worked. I was able to temporarily fix things using an MX Linux USB key, backed everything up, and now both my workstation and laptop are humming along with MX. They've stuck with Plasma 5, with some backported features (I think) and improved default config. The live disk/installer was probably the best I've ever experienced. Simple without being crippled, and with a bunch of handy utilities.

They haven't expurgated systemd in the way Devuan has. Instead they have a shim, which allows certain daemons that depend on systemd to function, while leaving the choice of init up to the user. The default is sysvinit. I'm not going to experiment with alternatives for now, but I might look into runit at some point.
