It should also be worth noting that if you want a dir to be readable

If say /home is owned by root/root and other has r-- (no x) then no
one who is not root or root group will be able to see into the
directories below home at all even though technically they have
permission to them. So if you set read on a dir always also set x.

You are confirming what I just read, and did not know, while googling
permissions. I was inclined to just set permissions to 664, wondered why
they often included that "x" at the last position ...
Sometimes I can't avoid learning new stuff ,
