STOP FREAKING INDEXING!!!

1. Disable them (run once in Terminal):

for s in com.apple.corespotlightd com.apple.managedcorespotlightd com.apple.corespotlightservice com.apple.spotlightknowledged com.apple.spotlightknowledged.updater com.apple.spotlightknowledged.importer com.apple.mediaanalysisd com.apple.photoanalysisd; do launchctl disable gui/$(id -u)/$s; done

3. Check afterwards. This should print nothing:
