billbasher , to Technology in Benefits of resolutions beyond 1080p

The biggest thing is view distance vs size. Your eyes can only see up to a certain density.

Nice yeah coffee isn’t always the play for me either for that reason. I like Yerba mate and white/green tea too

I like short coffee naps. It makes it really easy to get up afterwards. I’d only recommend it if you are able to fall asleep almost instantly though.

Basically you chug a cup of coffee and then nap, setting an alarm for 20-30m. Once you get woken up the coffee will be mostly in your system and you’ll feel really refreshed.

They wonder why piracy is on the rise. Have they tried no corporate greed yet?

billbasher , (edited ) to Linux in Is it bad practice to run umount -a instead of specifying the directory to unmount?

It shouldn’t unmount those system dirs unless you have a really weird setup or specify with —types.

From the man page:

-a, --all
All of the filesystems described in /proc/self/mountinfo (or

in deprecated /etc/mtab) are unmounted, except the proc,

devfs, devpts, sysfs, rpc_pipefs and nfsd filesystems. This

list of the filesystems may be replaced by --types umount

option.

https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/umount.8.html

If you are using a system with snap like Ubuntu, it will unmount those since they are technically mounts. It will fail if an app is using the snap but subsequent opens of closed snaps will fail.
