I can second this. I have SearxNG running in a docker container by itself and it requires no real maintenance of any kind. I do have a cron job that updates the docker container once per day, but it ran for ages on the same version without issues.

Fortunately, they at least aren't deleting accounts with YouTube videos "at this time"

I still backed up the videos from a deceased friend's channel just in case- but I'm glad his content will still be there.

Sounds like plant management needs to enforce lock-out tag-out procedure. That's rule 1 of working on heavy machinery, no matter how safe you think it is.

But how the hell are they saying “forced” to do something by some scumbag over the internet?

There was a group from Brazil doing stuff like that and got publicized when they were arrested recently. Usually they'd coerce the minor into sending one picture, then use it as blackmail against them to give them more. They might even gaslight them to convince them that they'll get in big trouble if they tell anyone and it'll just get worse for them.

I've seen full fledged adults taken hard by scammers and willingly giving them thousands of dollars against their own interests, and they heavily distrust and resist anyone trying to help them. I can only imagine accomplishing that with a child that lacks long term thinking skills is even more effective.

Yeah whoops, brain said terabyte but fingers said gigabyte.

I know storage is cheap, but nearly half a terabyte? I'm already giving any game the side eye if it takes more than 50G of space on a disk, let alone nearly 10x that.

The tech is interesting and has applications

I used to say that, but I've given up on that idea. I've never seen a use of blockchain yet that didn't boil down to being virtual money. NFTs could have had potential as a method of trade if they were tied to real ownership of things instead of just receipts saying you bought a cartoon monkey jpeg.

But every time I think something would be a problem blockchain solves, I can always think of an existing, typically better, solution to that same problem. I think that space is too infested with grifters to attract anyone with a truly novel idea.

My dad went over the bars of a dirtbike when he was about 20 and landed hard on his shoulder, but walked it off.

Came back to haunt him with a vengeance last year almost 50 years later, super high pain in that shoulder that took a surgery to go away.

What if you want to tell someone that you're not a lawyer, but you are into anal? Then it's just efficient.

I have a Gmail for less important spammy stuff, but my email for important stuff is with mxroute. Got a $25 Black Friday deal with them last year and have my domain set up with it.

The last vehicle to move is the one at fault, even if someone else parks right up on them.
