So on the government level this problem just doesn’t exist? Something tells me such gangs couldn’t be allowed to prosper if not for strategic bribes to the officials or informal relations with them. I’ve heard such stories about different times and places, but the size of operations eluded me.
It was about India, but Slumdog Millionaire’s main characters were too at a risk of being mutilated to beg by a gangster. Since it gained such traction and was hugely criticized there, I wonder if someone took a second glance at that problem.
Well it kind of does now. But the government is a non factor in the country in these matters.
All government departments are in fact corrupt and incompetent.
Now I haven’t seen slumdog millionaire and wasn’t aware thats what it was about. But south asian countries are massive and kind of lawless so its unlikely this will ever be solved.
Ummm, good luck. When I tried to use Linux on a new machine I built and had a bunch of problems, people on the forums told me to wait six months for someone to write drivers for the components.
LOL. Got totally down voted for simply explaining what happened. Glad it worked for you. It didn’t work for me. This was probably 10 years ago. I made a dual boot system and the internet simply wouldn’t work in Linux, so I had to keep booting into Windows, research, then switch to Linux to implement. Lather, rinse, repeat.
If Windows 11 is as bad as they say, guess I’ll be experimenting with it again.
[search indexed files that are offline] One would hope this is not possible.
I think the idea is store the search index in a separate place from the file. For indexing text though, I’ve found that the index is comparable in size to the file itself. It’s not entirely clear to me what OP wants to search. Something like email? Obviously if it’s just metadata for media files (kilobyte text description of a gigabyte video) then the search index can be tiny.
Real-time updates as files change
Would require non-portable script that stores each file’s mtime in an array and compares the old mtime against the new mtime using stat, and then loop. Maybe implement as a daemon.
That is what inotify is for.
I realize your overall answer was mostly snark, but the problems mentioned really do take some work to solve. For example, if you want to index email, you want the indexer to understand email headers so it can do the right things with the timestamps and other fields. You can’t just chuck everything into a big generic search engine and press “blend”.
I will mention git-annex which is for sort of a different problem, but it can help you manually track where your offline files are, more or less.
Sorry I have .world blocked so I didn’t see your reply until now (wish I could block instances without blocking instance replies, but whatever)

Yeah I amended my post earlier to recommend logging with a domain specific unmount script, but I don’t know why they want to do this.

Apparently I’m so good at trolling I troll people even when I’m not trying to troll. :<
This is what inotify is for
If inotify works for you, that’s fine. I don’t have any experience with it, maybe I’ll look into it after this, if the usecase ever comes up.

Eh, regex (EREs) is good enough for 99% of usecases honestly. For the 1%, consider using an easier to parse file format.

They have umpty jillion terabytes of video on a shelf full of external HDD’s and they want to know what files are on which drives. In the old days we had racks full of mag tapes and had the same issue. It’s not something new.
For info about inotify, try web search.
For text search, you start needing real indexing once you’re over maybe a GB of text. Before that, you can live with grep or SQL tables or whatever.
I have to set literally everything up again on a new microSD for my Pi because the apt-get repositories no longer support the Raspbian version I’m on. I’m not mad; good for security to update, but I don’t have half a day free anytime soon for it.
Well that’s important, so after you cut each serving you can pile another dollop of whipcream on top. Maybe an extra 🍓 too, if you have 'em. You can only fit so much on the cake and have it still look pretty and keep its balance.
Funnily enough I’ve been looking for a similar utility.
I use jellyfin, and yacy for my local media/documents
Jellyfin isn’t really a search engine, and it may or may not work if you disconnect the drives.
From my experience with shows and movies it does great with metadata and displaying what i have in my collection. However it’s not as good for searching images/videos, as you have to search the exact image/video name (unless it has metadata)
Yacy on the other hand, is much more like a traditional search engine, with an index and all. It’s great for documents (html, md, txt even docx), but doesn’t do well with media files, as it can’t pull metadata, so you have to search all media by title.
I dont think yacy has real time updating, if it does, idk how to enable it.
Both yacy and jellyfin have a way to blacklist things, but they’re just completely different
yacy has a url based blacklist, while jellyfin only displays stuff from folders you tell it to (basically a whitelist)
There was a program that I had stumbled across that was able to index a photos folder using image recognition to generate a description that you could search. I have since forgotten the name of the program but it does exist, and if I find it again I’ll update this comment.
Personally I want something that works like yacy for traditional documents, and can use image recognition for images, but I have yet to find it.
EDIT: I have found the program that does image recognition: sist2I have tried it once before, from experience the sqlite search is a bit janky but works decently enough imo, i haven’t tried the other indexing method.
You probably got it but “came second” might sound like he came second to the other person in the picture. The couple who got the gold isn’t in this comparison image.
I want to start using eSIM but I keep hearing about issues with tethering and the phone reporting normal data usage as tethered so I’ve always avoided it due to that. My fear is at some point carriers charging a fee to switch the eSIM from one phone to another.
