What’s your go-to strategy for giving engineers access to production?
I’ve been in this field for almost 15 years, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen two companies handle this the same way
Some other places just hand out just-in-time database access with short-lived credentials, others rely on rigid role-based permission, and others go all in on anonymized data dumps or shadow environments to avoid prod access altogether

Five Ways the Department of Education Is Upending Public Schools

⤋ Read More
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, huh, maybe it was just my GNOME 2 themes back then that didn’t show the icon. 🤔
I like the looks of your window manager. That’s using Wayland, right?
Oh, no. It’s still X11. All my recent Wayland comments resulted from me trying to switch, but I think it’s still too early. Being unable to use QEMU (because it can’t capture the mouse pointer) is a pretty big blocker for me. This is completely broken, it just happens to be unnoticeable with modern guest OSes, so it’s probably not a priority for devs.
(Not to mention that I would have to fork and substantially extend dwl in order to “replicate” my X11 WM. And then, after having done that, I’d have to follow upstream Wayland development, for which I don’t have the resources. Things would need to slow down before I can do that.)
all that wasted space of the windows not making use of the full screen!!!1
Heh. I’ve been using tiling WMs for ~15 years now, so it’s actually kind of refreshing to see something different for a change. 😅
Probably close to the older Windowses.
That particular theme is a ripoff of OS/2 Warp 3:
