that should be it

>>4753
Nice.
>mc
>lf
Don't know those, can you link me?
>proxychains-ng
Any advantage over torsocks?

>>4755
mc is midnight commander - curses based file manager/explorer/editor.

Emacs, does pretty much everything.

https://github.com/gokcehan/lf
it's ranger's odd twin, but written in go
>Any advantage over torsocks?
just werks? with torsocks you need to set DnsPort so dns queries would be routed as well and afaik torsocks works only for tor, while proxychains can be used with any socks proxy.

>>4764
Nice OS, it's a shame that the editor is so crappy.

>>4797
torsocks can also use any socks proxy and local dns resolving is only required on socks v4 (modern proxies use v5 nowadays)
however, it doesn't work on setuid executables while proxychains does, if you care about that.

>>4805
ooh nice, i didn't know that, thanks for correction

What is the general consensus of EMACS on Nanochan?

>>5159
Bloat. Use mg(1) from openbsd.

If mac then install kaleidoscope
else if windows then uninstall *

i3 is a meme that uses more memory for no reason.

>>5159
Emacs is great, it's very extensible and packages like magit make Emacs worth it for just using them.
>>5167
Completely misses the point of Emacs. That editor doesn't even let you extend it. There are no packages and has very minimal built in stuff. For example the only language it supports editing is C.

>>5266
None above the i3 has tabbed mode by default, only dwm and xmonad using patchs and xmonad is basically impossible to tweak if you don't know haskell.
I'll stick with i3 for now.

>>5284
Well, sure it has a tabbed option. But as a software, it's a lot inferior to bspwm, which is a lot more UNIX-like.

>>5384
I used to like tabbed mode, then I realized workspaces existed.

>xmonad impossible unless haskell knowledge

I knew nothing and still know nothing about Haskell, but was able to configure it by copypastaing stuff till it worked, and messing around.

>>5289
>it's a lot inferior to bspwm
Well, if you want to see through this perspective, then none is. Xorg is a piece of crap that shouldn't exist anymore and WM just builds into it.
Also, it doesn't matter if others are 'better' if they can't do the functions I need...
>>5313
>workspaces
Works for most things, but not for text-based browsers. I need at least one half of the window with tabbed mode.

>text-based browsers, tabbed mode

Isn't that what things like GNU screen and tmux are for?

axel bspwm curl dnscrypt-proxy ffmpeg gallery-dl gpg irssi mpv mvi nvim pass pip tmux tor unbound w3m wget xterm youtube-dl zathura.
That I remember of.

>>5747
You can't tab inside tmux, only create new "workspaces" (Ctrl+B+c). i3wm gives the possibility to do tabbed inside the window (Alt+w).

unbound

>>5318
>need
How?

>>5819
For text-based browsers. I need tabs to use Links. Unless you know some better alternative without tabbing for browsers...
