      Yeah, not only does +x leave read/write permissions untouched, it also only makes it executable for the user, not for everyone and their cat.

    When I start fucking with chmod, it happens way too often that what I want to do only works after I executed chmod 777…

    If you don’t add the leading digit (out of respect) for the sticky/setgid/setuid bits, do you even Linux?

      700 is the only sane answer for directories inside $HOME.

        Nah, there’s a lot of config files in there that other programs need to read.

          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.

    u=rwX,g=rX,o=rX because this won’t make every file executable, only folders.
