PowerShell-OpenAuthenticode VS micro-editor

I’ve found the easiest option available here is through using Azure KeyVault to store the keys. I use a custom module to sign my PowerShell scripts and dlls [1] for this because I can integrate it with OIDC to sign the code using the keys stored in the Azure HSM. While the builtin pwsh Set-Authenticode cmdlet can’t do this currently there are other options that rely on Window’s authenticode APIs like AzureSignTool [2] that I highly recommend.

While I’m unsure if Azure is suitable for actual companies I think the risk is ok for what I need it for and the API quality as well as OIDC support make it quite nice to use with GHA.

Micro editor (https://micro-editor.github.io/) works best for me but it's terminal-based.

Simple yet customizable? My thoughts go to Sublime Text if you want a GUI editor and closed-source is OK, or Micro if you want a TUI editor that is open source:

Like OpenBox, most casual users can be dropped in and know their way around their interfaces, and both options are kinda lightweight compared to other modern options. There is power available for serious customization if you want (you can write plugins for them in Python and Lua, respectively).

Personally, both Vim and Emacs do not remind me much of OpenBox. I think i3wm is more a Vim, and I guess XMonad is the most Emacs-like window manager I've tried. (Arguably, EXWM is the only truly Emacs-like window manager...)

Love the look, definitely throwing me back to the halcyon QBasic days.

Another way to achieve an old school raster style green screen aesthetic is to combine cool-retro-term with the minimal editor "micro".

This is great! I used to install micro[0] as "nano with better shortcuts", but it was always a bit of an overkill, so I'm really happy with this change.

One quirk that remains: even with --modernbindings, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+C will add to nano's clipboard, instead of replacing whatever is there.

Not sure these are really popular, but I cannot resist advertising a few utilities written in Go that I regularly use in my daily workflow:

- gdu: a NCDU clone, much faster on SSD mounts [1]

- duf: a `df` clone with a nicer interface [2]

- massren: a `vidir` clone (simpler to use but with fewer options) [3]

- gotop: a `top` clone [4]

- micro: a nice TUI editor [5]

Building this kind of tools in Go makes sense, as the executables are statically compiled and are thus easy to install on remote servers.
