I don’t use chmod nearly often enough to remember these numbers. I know there’s a mathematical way to figure it out, but I cba to do that when u+wrx more or less tells me exactly what it does (grant the User Write, Read, and eXecute permissions)
Nope, +x for life
chmod -R 777 /galaxy brain
Yo dawg, heard you like memes
This is drake erasure and I’m LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT, JERRY
Chmod 777 I live erratically without consequence.
chmod 755for when setting permissions to directories.chmod +xfor making something executable right when I am about to run it.chmod -R 600 ~/, because I dont trust anyone, not even myself.I forgor the tilde and its taking a long time. wat do
sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-rootStart from scratch
But those are different
Had to be done for the joke. :)
Yeah, not only does
+xleave read/write permissions untouched, it also only makes it executable for the user, not for everyone and their cat.Cat doesn’t execute anything tho, it just reads and gives output
The cat command executes the cat program.
this but in reverse 🤷♀️
chmod 666 so only the devil can execute it
I like to chmod it chmod it
When I start fucking with chmod, it happens way too often that what I want to do only works after I executed
chmod 777…May I interest you in a nice “chown”?
chmod -R 777 /Why the fuck am I still getting permission errors

sudo
If you don’t add the leading digit (out of respect) for the sticky/setgid/setuid bits, do you even Linux?
700 cause I’m selfish.
700 is the only sane answer for directories inside
$HOME.macOS by default makes
/Users/*only readable by the owner, except for$HOME/Public, which isdrwxr-xr-x, and$HOME/Public/Postbox, which isdrwx-w--w-Nah, there’s a lot of config files in there that other programs need to read.
The programs usually run in user context and have access to the files.
Even if thinking very hard I cannot come up with a scenario where a program that does not run in user context needs access to user files.
Unfortunately. I really wish $HOME was reserved for files I create myself. I know. I can create my own shit for that. But, I really wish every single random project I download to fuck around with didn’t drop a config directory or file in there. ITS MY HOME.
I mean, having config files in there makes a lot of sense. It allows you to move your home to some other machine/install and immediately feel at home, because everything is configured to your liking.
Now, the fact that many apps create their own directory instead of putting their stuff in ~/.config is pretty annoying.
Also for multi user systems it’s handy that each user gets their own configs
Dont forgot
