say I have a python program that uploads a photo on Instagram. If I wished to use that program every day, is there another way of doing so, other then the following (trivial) options?:

run it on your own every day (for ex. with an IDE)
set a timer that performs the operation daily, and run the program with a while(true) loop

the Instagram example is simply for the purpose of the discussion

OSes have task schedulers that allow timed program runs - which OS are you using. – Oct 08 '20 at 12:21
If you are on linux you could use a cron job. In windows you have a task scheduler you can use for this. – Kraay89 Oct 08 '20 at 12:22
