    I’ve clicked an obvious phishing link once in an isolated environment with a hardened browser on purpose. It had a tracking link and all and the URL was just ever so slightly off. Nothing happened on the target page though. No attempted script execution, no iframes, no cross site shenanigans, no weird popups or a fake login UI urging me to enter my credentials asap.

    Someone from my company’s security department called me shortly, telling me how I’ve failed the obvious phishing exercise and I had to undergo a half hour long mandatory awareness training. Wasn’t getting out of that one.













  • I love Kate, but I’ve only been using it since last August. Been using npp for a decade before that, even as my IDE, and I felt like it was stronger than Kate.

    Kate has a lot of features that are not well documented or that you have to tape together to make something functional, while npp just works out of the box or with one of its many addons. Additionally the Kate documentation website is atrocious, lacking even basic search functionality. I had to join their IRC channel to get help figuring out something (path to some obscure config file that the latest version actually reads from), and while they were most helpful, I really shouldn’t have had to go through all that trouble.

    Maybe my approach to trying to solve a problem was wrong, coming from Windows + npp.
