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 4 months ago

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

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