Today several users reported that a handful of significant Cartoon Network shows—including Ben 10, Steven Universe, Regular Show, the 2016 Powerpuff Girls revival, Amazing World of Gumball, We Bare Bears, and Chowder—were suddenly no longer streaming on Max with the turn of the month, with no prior announcement of their impending removal.
Just removing Steven Universe alone seems insane to me. I’m not into it, but it has a massive fan base.
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.
People regularly spend $100 a month on streaming services. It pays for itself quick.
Lol, no. I just built one for less than $1000. I used 8TB drives.
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
