  The unfortunate reality is that some people will buy anything that expires, on the remote chance someone might be interested. If they’re set on doing that there’s nothing you can do, they will grab it and block it for at least one more year.

  IMHO the best thing you can do is nothing. I mean nothing beyond discreetly checking the domain state in whois. Don’t inquire explicitly about the domain. Don’t use the WHOIS form on websites you don’t trust to exploit such queries into grabbing domains themselves.

  You can use whois from the command line (best way). Alternatively, the TLD registry will have a WHOIS form on their official website.

  If you don’t generate any apparent interest they will eventually let the domain lapse. Check back a year from now.

  The problem is that the main container can (and usually does) rely on other layers, and you need to pull updates for those too. Updating one app can take 5-10 individual pulls.

  override the auto driving

  I must be tired right now but I don’t see how a remote operator could have driven better in this situation.

  You can’t get away from someone blocking your car in traffic without risk.of hitting them or other people or vehicles.

  You probably meant they ought to drive away regardless of what they hit, if it helps the passenger escape a.dire.situation? But I have to wonder if a remote operator would agree to be put on the spot like that.
