Just annotations of little "how to's", so I know I can find how to do something I've already done when I need to do it again, in case I don't remember anymore, which is not unlikely. Hopefully they can be useful to others, but I can't guarantee that it will work, or that it won't even make things worse.
I used to just have lots of "echos" around my scripts printing where it is on a loop or whatever, so I have a better idea of whats happening, often somewhat more clear than with "bash -x", even though that also may help, of course. But the odds are that I'd at some point just leave such debug echos there while the script runs on a daily basis on the background, just helping .xsession-errors to become enormous, for no good reason, since it's working and I'm not reading it. And...
The good thing I've found is how to get away with GTK3's "animations," which make the UI render somewhat visibly slower even in other aspects (like browsing Geeqie's images), despite xorg.conf settings that give me the best performance, as assessed by gtkperf.
I had to adapt it somewhat because I already had "history -a" running all the time, so it would display it by default, which I don't like. Instead, the current directory would be better. So, the relevant bits of my ~/.bashrc are probably these, I think:
Largely based on this answer on askubuntu. I hope nothing atrocious results from some situation where it ends up trying to mount something a given user should not, or something. May require tweaking either the script or one's sudo permissions for the commands doing the hard work, I don't know how "default" my settings are.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo ${@} | while read input ; do
for label in /dev/disk/by-label/${input} ; do
label=$(basename
