| Roguehorse2 | today...do lab work and get on full MediCal...\o/....woo-hoo! Then get my SSDI papers in progress | 12:49 |
|---|---|---|
| Roguehorse2 | should probably get more done on the book too while as lot of this is fresh in my mind | 12:53 |
| dimaa | general linux question. it is safe to store and run random nick nack scripts in /opt right? | 18:50 |
| ianorlin | dimaa: probably should not run them as root | 18:50 |
| ianorlin | hard to say without seeing the code | 18:50 |
| dimaa | oh i was assuming im running them as me not root | 18:51 |
| pleia2 | I put my own scripts in a local bin/ in my home directory | 18:51 |
| ianorlin | if it messes with stuff in your home it might not be a good idea | 18:51 |
| pleia2 | and /usr/local/bin is a good spot too (plus, automatically in your path!) | 18:52 |
| dimaa | ~/bin might be a good idea and yes pleia2 /usr/local/bin also. well i think that answer that for me | 18:52 |
| dimaa | hah | 18:52 |
| pleia2 | it's "safe" to put them in /opt in that it won't delete them like in /tmp or something, but meh | 18:53 |
| dimaa | at work we have an EC2 instance for our team and they keep stuff in /opt so i was wondering | 18:53 |
| pleia2 | I've never been the biggest fan of /opt :) | 18:53 |
| dimaa | well good to get perspectives :D | 18:54 |
| dimaa | basically i want to put scripts on my personal VPS in a place for the other users to use them. so I made a chmod 777 folder in /home for people | 18:55 |
| pleia2 | use and edit? | 18:55 |
| dimaa | its a free for all. (we have a level of trust on my server) | 18:55 |
| * pleia2 nods | 18:56 | |
| dimaa | and i like to keep it that way | 18:56 |
| pleia2 | I'd put something like that in /usr/local/bin rather than one person's home | 18:56 |
| dimaa | they are my friends so i do trust them | 18:56 |
| dimaa | /usr/local/bin will allow them for other though iirc? | 18:56 |
| pleia2 | hm? | 18:57 |
| dimaa | err i mean /usr/local/bin is not just for me? | 18:57 |
| dimaa | it is for everyone on the server | 18:57 |
| pleia2 | yes | 18:58 |
| dimaa | ok | 18:58 |
| dimaa | :D | 18:58 |
| dimaa | i think i will move my things there then | 18:58 |
| dimaa | haha | 18:58 |
| philipballew | What would cause my external public ip address to not show up when I try to ping it or attempt to ssh through it? | 21:04 |
| philipballew | It seems like an odd situation, so I thought someone here might know | 21:05 |
| DonkeyHotei | what do you mean by not show up? | 22:29 |
| philipballew | DonkeyHotei, I mean I can not ping the ip remotelty? | 23:58 |
| philipballew | pleia2, pm? | 23:58 |
| pleia2 | go for it | 23:59 |
