[12:49] <Roguehorse2> today...do lab work and get on full MediCal...\o/....woo-hoo! Then get my SSDI papers in progress
[12:53] <Roguehorse2> should probably get more done on the book too while as lot of this is fresh in my mind
[18:50] <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
[18:51] <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
[18:52] <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
[18:53] <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 :)
[18:54] <dimaa> well good to get perspectives :D
[18:55] <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)
[18:56]  * 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?
[18:57] <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
[18:58] <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
[21:04] <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?
[21:05] <philipballew> It seems like an odd situation, so I thought someone here might know
[22:29] <DonkeyHotei> what do you mean by not show up?
[23:58] <philipballew> DonkeyHotei, I mean I can not ping the ip remotelty?
[23:58] <philipballew> pleia2, pm?
[23:59] <pleia2> go for it
