Oh thank goodness, having to spawn a full admin terminal every time you need that is such a pita

And there is absolutely no way, that I could find, to create or pin a shortcut to eg WinTerm, which would launch it as admin.

Actually, that's an easy one to workaround: hold down Ctrl+shift when you click on it (or any pinned application) and it will launch it elevated. Makes that part feel so much simpler and straightforward when I found that out.

Yeah, I'm sure my IT security would love me putting that on the servers I manage

Though, apparently, this is not going to be added to Server anyway...boo

[-] vox@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

i mean it's open source and has secure defaults so ¯_(ツ)_/¯...

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

I'm going to guess you don't have to work with an IT security office...

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
