FYI, if users complain about permissions, try this command so you can get back to browsing Lemmy and tell them to fuck off.

chmod 777 -R /

No sir, you're doing it wrong. This is being done without security in mind. That way, just anyone can execute anything.

chmod 666 -R / is the way.

Edit: remember to run as root

Pish posh. If security is your game, chmod 000 -R / is your game. Don't forget to run iptables -A input -i any -j DROP to stop those ne'er-do-wells on the LAN from fuckin up your server with their filthy, virus infested client machines.
