I used to work for a university trying to modernize how people got student and financial data. Over half my work was playing politics rooting out people who refused to change and going above their head. We had one guy who didn’t want to update a script on his end to include the bare minimum amount of ‘security’: a hard coded plain text password. It took me months and I had to go to his office to update his script and he complained about it the entire four minutes it took

This does seem like it’s on the right track. It may be program-specific how those values get used though? So I think the next step is to figure out the common way those values get used by programs and how hard coded they might be

These sound more like shortcuts, are they able to add special folders to a sidebar though? So like in the file viewer I can have a shortcut to my Development folder by just drag/dropping it into place:

But after doing that if I try and open a file in say Kate then the popup looks like this:

I’d like for the folder to be visible as if it were a special folder like Documents and always show up in the side bar for all applications (bonus points if I can give it a custom icon too)

Keep them from entering the house from the sewer. That’s what I was always told at any rate; the house and town were old enough it seems plausible. The house’s driveway side door opened to the kitchen and on the right was a wood staircase. Right near the base of the staircase barely out of direct sight when entering the side door is where the toilet was just hanging out near a support beam not even against a wall. There wasn’t a sink down there you had to go back up the stairs to the kitchen to wash your hands.

My grandpa’s open air basement toilet had a brick on the lid to keep rats from getting in. The rare times I had to use it I was always so scared of a rat showing up and half the time I couldn’t even go because of it

Honestly I’d probably just give up on technology entirely. Become a hermit carpenter or something

Where do I go to lock them?

I’m in the same boat both mine are dead have gotten anything from them in ages
