- hexadecimal 9y agoAny feedback on it? Anything missing?
- hexadecimal 9y agoIt was just launched, looking to improve it :)
- wattengard 9y agoDon't push state every time I make a change. It might be the "right" thing to do, but it's annoying that my back-button doesn't work when I've just been fiddling with switches on your page. Maybe try to get some more prosaic descriptions on the most popular mods? Like: "777, the one you go for after trying everything to make your files readable on windows throught samba, and it still doesn't work"... ;)

- savethefuture 9y agoI love it
- fiftyacorn 9y agoIts an alright resource for people learning chmod. Id also include all the r+w format too Just wonder where defaulting to -R 777 is a good idea for people learning chmod? They might run and chmod the whole directory on their first attempt
- gregjor 9y agoOctal modes aren't necessary anymore, chmod has symbolic modes. And "man chmod" is there to help if you forget. I think this is solving the problem "I don't understand octal" more than helping with using chmod.
