Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
you know where shows and movies never get deleted from? my home server 🏴☠️
But your home server's drive can malfunction and then you're stuck. Unless you make regular backups I guess.
RAID1 is cheap. It's not a fool proof solution but has saved my Plex library a couple times over the years.
Hell, raid 5 isn't that expensive. 4 bay enclosure with some drives and your set.
You can even run most of your services on them if you choose wisely. I run all of my arr apps on my NAS along with the torrent client. I use a little SFF PC as my Plex server for the extra power to transcode.
Valid. Spent entirely too much on my 16TB setup in RAID 1 (total of 32TB drives) and I've got it half full already.
Lol, no. I just built one for less than $1000. I used 8TB drives.
People regularly spend $100 a month on streaming services. It pays for itself quick.
I do have a backup! I just use 4 HDD in raid 1, two separate data pools. so far works great, I'd love to upgrade them from 8tb to 16th one day but for my needs I'm ok for now
If you aren't doing more you have a parity drive, not backups, to be clear.
If a drive fails you can resilver and your data is fine.
If someone with write/delete access makes a mistake and deletes everything, or ransomware encrypt all your files, you can't just "restore from last week's backup" because you don't have one.

that's a good point! one day I'll get around to making a proper backup
