Moral from the original ACM paper: “The moral is obvious. You can’t trust code that you did not totally create yourself. (Especially code from com- panies that employ people like me.) No amount of source-level verification or scrutiny will protect you from using untrusted code. In demonstrating the possi- bility of this kind of attack, I picked on the C compiler. I could have picked on any program-handling program such as an assembler, a loader, or even hardware mi- crocode. As the level of program gets lower, these bugs will be harder and harder to detect. A well-installed microcode bug will be almost impossible to detect.”

How do you steal an ebike? Did he hide it in his bag of holding?

Fair point. I have worn many hats through my IT career, I started out as a Windows NT admin back when it was cutting edge technology in the 90s. I fell in love with a text editor called Ultraedit that my org had a site license for. When I left that org after many years I missed Ultraedit and was delighted to find Notepad++ had most of features I loved. Now the course of my career has found me become a Linux admin and personal linux user for many years now. I have been using Notedpad-qq for years, but recently it seems to have gotten worse and I have had instances where crashes resulted in lost data. I liked the idea of having the same general UI and features as Notepad++ because I still need to use Windows at work. But I am reluctantly admitting maybe it is a time for a change.

Apologies for the digression, but I wanted to share some of the waypoints in my journey that influenced my personal choice.

I have gotten a lot of great feedback to this post, but if I had to give points for the most spot-on answer, you would get it. Thanks!

Pretty much everyone at work is using VSCode, maybe this is a good opportunity to dive in, thanks.

I see it is Platinum on WineHQ, will give that a try thanks.

I have been using kate a bit and it has been a decent experience so far.

I have been trying out Greyjay -> https://grayjay.app/#faq

Does this mean HBO needs to change their name again?

Run a live version of kubuntu from a usb drive to confirm wifi/lan drivers work and you can access the internet.

Rock horns. Shorthand for “that rocks” a more manly way to say I love that.

Thats great! I feel comfortable using the heart emoji with my wife and kids, but for co-workers it can be a little creepy depending in the circumstance. I started using the blue heart, but that just caused confusion. I found the horns conveyed the thought better without being creepy.

Not sure why you got downvoted, it is a fair question. Real time multiuser editing is a powerful feature. That said it is really only needed a small fraction of the time for specific types of collaboration. Also, it can cause problems as well. Libreoffice Calc meets most of my home spreadsheet needs: calculating mortgage rates and future value of investments and such.

The weird thing about clothes is that we don’t think they are weird.

Especially if you are Tat.

You can tunnel over SSL with stunnel. TCP latency can be brutal though.

Source mod tools not to be confused with Sourcemod tools.

I feel like OP missed an opportunity to title this post “Fedora Flatpaks Fall Flat”

Great article, BTW

The answer to your question is zero yet at this he same time zero is not an answer to your question.
