A new survey from Norway reveals that 50% of young people under 30 believe that pirating content is an acceptable way to save money. The survey, conducted by Ipsos, highlights that the high cost of streaming services is a key driver behind this attitude. Links between piracy and organized crime or malware, appear to be of less concern.

Use a password manager; keep the porn accounts in a separate password vault that can be disposed of. Keep the password in a safe and/or include it in your will in some way.

I'm going to have to take over my dad's setup someday and keep it running for my mom...

Good point although I was thinking more generally in terms of the sheer quantity of hoarded material. Every episode of Taggart and Midsomer Murders and Housewives.... Grandma's hoard might be even more unwieldy

Oh, I'm familiar with hoarders. Grandma is floor to ceiling; shed, two car garage, basement, both floors. I think the family plan is to let the city/bank deal with it when she goes. We won't go inside.

I totally agree it's a job best done by someone without any emotional ties.

I also realize that "the bank/the city" means "some secondary cleaning contractor" which means "some probably-undocumented immigrants," i.e. another vital service which could be impacted by the Trump Purge.
