gollark: I'm sure there's some way around it other than just `chown`ing the files afterward (as I forgot to that time).
gollark: Yep.
gollark: I copy the mod updates from my desktop to the server, and for some insane reason get stuck with the UID of my desktop user instead of the server's minecraft user, and for some other insane reason the default permission on them is such that it refuses to read the JARs. So the mod is considered gone, and it breaks.
gollark: Not due to more mods.
gollark: Oh, no, the breakage was my fault due to some weird permissions errors.
