I was under the impression that it was permissionless.You are entirely correct, it has no permission system to speak ofI'll speak of it anyway: There's a "Read-only" bit on every file/directory and The User (there's only one!) can change it for any of them at any time.1 more...1 more...1 more...10 more...11 more...
