Follow-up from “Dumbest Thing you have done distro-hopping?”.
Here’s mine - the laptop from which I’m typing right now has a broken touchpad that keeps jumping and clicking randomly, and does not work. Well, I can’t afford to fix it, but at the moment, I was so pissed off I punched the touchpad really hard, and the machine panicked with all the lights blinking. A few more revival abuses, and the machine was back to life, but since I was running a nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade in the background, I blew off my boot partition. I think I just broke the unbreakable distro.
Yeah and you also need execute permissions to read what’s in a directory, so 666 for the whole system means you basically lose access to 99% of files
Yes, I learned very quickly that +1 in this flag syntax means execution, so first 6 means that owner of the file does not have execution permission, which means that nothing is allowed to execute in the system.
