Just yesterday I realized running two ???make -j 8??? in parallel was making

If you don't have job control, do you not have ^C to kill one of the
make jobs? I guess you open another window and ps and kill it but
if the machine is already thrashing that is gonna be unpleasant.
Yes but then you lose a bunch of work. You don’t want to restart,
you just want to delay.
