Tor VS notepad-plus-plus

You could try downloading TOR (www.torproject.org) but some people prefer not to use it because some people think that the TOR people are (bad? cheaters?) 'not good'.

The only difference Private Relay makes to this sequence is that it hides your IP from the website you're visiting in the networking phase by acting as a proxy. This is similar to what TOR does by routing your network traffic through multiple nodes before letting it reach its final destination. This process does not hide which websites you visit from your ISP itself IF they also act as your DNS provider, which is almost universally true.

One of the solutions I've seen mentioned is effectively the TOR network on the blockchain. While this type of solution would not guarantee anonymity it would at least make it more difficult for people to "follow the money" through the network just as the TOR browser makes it difficult for the FBI to follow your web traffic.

The TOR browser (https://www.torproject.org/) will encrypt your request and send it trough three separate servers before it ends up at the destination. It's what whistleblowers use to send info to journalists.

If you need that level of online anonymity you should use a dedicated tool with a solid track record (https://www.torproject.org/, or https://geti2p.net/en/) -- both are free to use by the way.

I use the Tor Browser & launcher direct from the torproject out of preference but the torbrowser launcher is available in the repos.

Tor (probably what you're looking for)

To access onion sites, follow the documentation in the Tor Project. That will tell you everything you should know and it is relatively simple to set up.

Please consider to host the infrastructure on Tor onion services.

Whenever I need to live on a Windows system for any length of time, I install [notepad++](https://notepad-plus-plus.org)

Do you prefer Notepad3 over Notepad++, and can you share why if so?

To the person commenting on whether notepad-plus-plus.org was a legitimate domain: this is the strongest proof I've found: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/...

honest question - why was there a need to start a new repo? Would you be ok to merge yours with notepad++'s official repo[0]. Did this cross your mind before and what happened?

Not saying that they would allow but it'd help the community as a whole with less duplication of work and deliver more features.

So, the only option left is to use regular expressions. You need a text editor that can "Find" and "Replace" using them - my choice is Notepad++ (for Windows people like me - shortcut Ctrl+H).

If you sling text around regularly, why not treat yourself to a decent text editor? Both Notepad++ (Windows) and Notepadqq (Linux) are free, open-source, and a hell of a lot netter than Notepad.

The most common way I use it is to right click a note and open a note in the default app which I have set .MD to open in Notepad++ which is a text editor with regex search/replace.

Notepad ++ is similar to notepad but has a lot more features. There are more features but different colored text and the ability to search are a couple examples. And it's free.

TXT stands for text, and that's not what you open with Excel. TXT can be opened by notepad, Notapad++ or on Linux simply use cat.

you sort the lines with a good text editor. Notepad++ for example has a function Edit -> Line Operations -> Sort Lines Lexicographically Ascending / Descending. In Emacs you mark the block and run M-x sort-lines. In vim, you mark the block and run :sort.

I’ve always used Windows, but am thinking about switching to macOS since I already have an iPhone and iPad. My biggest concern is that some of the apps I sometimes use only work with Windows, such as Notepad++. I also use some Minecrsft utilities such as MCCToolChest, or Open Note Block Studio.
