    My secret to high uptime:

    while True:
        try:
            main()
        except:
            pass

        Basically sweeps errors under rug.

        No error handling and go again.

        There you go:

        # Start an infinite loop because True will always be True
        while True: 
            # try to run the main function, usually where everything happens
            try:
                main()
            # in the case an exception is raised in the main function simply discard (pass) and restart the loop
            except:
                pass

          Thank you for that answer! That makes sense.

        This gives some better context. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21553327/why-is-except-pass-a-bad-programming-practice

        But essentially ignoring every single error a program could generate is not great. It’d be better to know what those errors are and fix/prevent them from occurring in the first place.
