• Finding the Last Editor

  > One that isn't tied to a specific platform, or preferably even a specific company, and that I trust will still be around until I'm done programming. That is Geany[0]: no opinions, no company affiliations, no editor wars. It has been around forever, works on everything, and is open-source.

• Best lua ide?

  I just use Geany for everything, it has a long history and has proven itself to be reliable. Source: about 2 years ago

• Geany is a fantastic, fast, powerful GUI text editor for many purposes & has a low barrier to entry

  After trying a bunch of GUI text editors in Linux and on the Mac I gotta say that to me, Geany is the best. Source: over 2 years ago

• I know, not exactly Linux.

  Have you tried Geany? It's based on Scintilla, just like Notepad++ is (although that's an implementation detail that you don't really need to know to use either of them), which helps it to feel very similar. Source: over 2 years ago

• Good lightweight IDE for practising?

  Check out Geany. It's lightweight, cross platform, open source, and supports multiple languages. The download is only 20MB or so. I'm not sure about a keyboard shortcut for comments though. Link: https://geany.org/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Do you keep a encrypted journal on your computer?

  I already have FDE setup. Then as an extra measure I store notes in EncryptPad[0]. All my badly written poetry, TODOs, and hopes and dreams are in there. [0] https://evpo.net/encryptpad/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Ask HN: What does your single file “productivity app” look like?

  > My productivity app for the past 12 years has been a single .txt file Better if it's encrypted. I use Encryptpad[0] to store such notes. [0] https://evpo.net/encryptpad/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Best ways to anonymize your informants in notes and papers?

  I would also take the further step of using a text editor that supports encryption, so that even if an attacker can read files from your computer are using the USB stick, it will still be protected. EncryptPad looks like a good easy to use option, personally I use gVIM, but it's a bit technical. EncryptPad uses industry standard GPG encryption, so the files can be read on Mac and Linux can also, if you ever change... Source: 11 months ago

• Any Notebooks with Local Encryption?

  I use encryptpad (https://evpo.net/encryptpad/). It allows for symmetric encryption on your local machine and comes with a decent text editor. No cloud storage functionality. Source: about 1 year ago

• Got hacked for about $175k - is there any recourse?

  You can also use an encrypted notepad, like EncryptPad. This will password protect the text file as well. Then you have the text file password, OneDrive 2FA and Veracrypt protecting your seed phrase. Good to have if you forget to delete your seed phrase file off your PC. It's still protected even in storage. Source: over 2 years ago
