Why would anyone even use such a predictable word for dev environment? I am baffled by this practice of not following the bare minimum security mindset even when you are just running it in a dev environment
- fragmede 2y agoBecause it's dev. Does your bathroom door have a deadbolt and a key and you lock it firmly every single time when you're home alone?
- Normal_gaussian 2y agoWhilst you are being facetious, deadbolting a bathroom door is really really dangerous. Bathrooms have a high risk of life threatening accidents and any locks should be bypassable indicators - this is why most have a coin unlock on the outside. Many countries have regulations requiring bathrooms to be unlockable from the outside without a key, and the external doors to be unlockable from the inside without a key. Deadbolting a bathroom is also pointless - there is nothing ti protect. Using an effective password for dev environments is sensible; it holds no risk of meaningful loss and can prevent compromise due to a common mistake.
- lazyasciiart 2y agoI guess I should go check if I can unlock my (regular lock) bathroom door from outside! > Deadbolting a bathroom is also pointless - there is nothing to protect. Pedantically, many people keep medicines in their bathroom and if you happen to have any recreationally-usable drugs, they'd be one of the first things to go in a lot of robberies. Or, sadly, be taken by your teenager or seemed-to-be-normal friend.
- Normal_gaussian 2y agoI guess medicine storage is an interesting cultural thing - I've always known them to be stored in the kitchen!
- mylastattempt 2y agoNo, but the bathroom does have a lock that can be used from the inside. Not a door that has a window in it and a lock that can be controlled from both sides of the door.
