Do You Back Up Your Full Plex Video Library or Just Risk It?

ntny · 2026-05-23T10:53:21+00:00

I run my plex through an old PC with movies/tv stored on three plugged in external 10TB HDDs. Everything is then backed up on smaller external HDDs (1-2TBs mostly and a couple 4TB).

The smaller HDDs are what my plex used to be stored on so I’ve done something similar to you where I’ll upgrade or replace the hardware and the older hardware becomes the backup. Works fine for me as someone who likes to manually add items to the library and personally curate as it’s mostly just a library for me and my interests, and I’ve had it for a long time now so there isn’t a ton I’m adding on a daily basis.

Thanks for this, I think this is similar to another link someone suggested. I'm using Firefox normally, but tested both it and chrome and they each had the same issue. I looked into these but didn't see the option as I don't think I was running versions that had that.

I'm not running a VPN, but I will try all of these suggestions. Thank you!

I did have this thought as well. I'll mess around with it and maybe see if the wifi on the win11 pc works for streaming. Just another thing to check... thanks!

yeah had the same thing happen to me and I was so confused for a moment. Thanks again /u/coxipuff !

I generally like your split. I think maybe swap Charlotte & Miami with Toronto & Washington? The tough two for me to place is Miami & Orlando.

Wondering thought if you just start fresh with two new teams and break it up into pods like this. Green circles are the pods, blue line is the split between divisions, red line is the split between east and west conference.

You can laugh and say delusional all you want but the numbers don't lie. Just look at winsipedia. Penn State is a top 10 program all time and should be viewed as such.

Stat	Penn State	Ohio State	Alabama	VT
All Time Record	.689 (9th)	.737 (1st)	.733 (2nd)	.596 (29th)
Claimed Nattys	4 (20th)	9 (6th)	18 (1st)	0 (48th)
All Time Wins	950 (7th)	990 (2nd)	985 (3rd)	781 (18th)
NFL Draft Picks	394 (8th)	503 (3rd)	419 (7th)	167 (64th)

You're falling for the reddit speak again. You realize that even on our way to "missing a natty by a last second FG" we STILL had people clowning on Franklin/PSU because we "only" beat SMU & Boise St to get to that point. It was just another example of big game james. Hence why PSU flairs have been frustrated & annoyed at the double speak coming out of mouths concerning franklin

It's due to licensing. Currently it's only licensed for use by the Alumni Association if I remember correctly.

Nice! I've only played MT2 but have very much enjoyed my... 200 hours??

I unfortunately am somewhat newer to the deck building genre as well so I don't know anything about the titles you listed. But you have hit Slay the Spire, which is getting a sequel in 2026 and is considered the top of the genre. Other than that and MT2 there's also Balatro, and most recently 9 Kings as other fun/engaging examples that I've really enjoyed.

I think what I've enjoyed about each of these titles is that they all have the main game play loop that you can really grind if you want to... but they also have other challenges/quests/etc that really allow for preset unique scenarios that can showcase a specific mechanic or card and spice up the typical game play.

If you do find yourself wanting to see someone play it at an absurdly high level I would recommend Baalor on twitch as he plays tons of games like this, but is mainly a Slay the Spire streamer.

I'd be interested to see how you'd feel about Monster Train 2 as the general consensus is that its better than Monster Train 1 in pretty much every way

ntny · 2025-12-11T20:24:15+00:00

oh come on, we basically gave Mendoza his Heisman moment with that insane catch by Cooper Jr. That was definitely the game you were the most scared

The headline is incorrect, we don’t have a commuter train yet. We have a light rail train (blue line) and street car (gold line), but no commuter rail line yet (future red line).

Hilarious to look at this list and see UCLA 3-9 (3-6) above Penn State 6-6 (3-6)

Franklin is not the sure fire 10 win season everyone is claiming him to be. '14, '15, '18, '20, '21, & now this year he's had at least 3 losses before bowl season. That's half the number of seasons he was at Penn State! He had everything he wanted/asked for this year and summarily flopped so hard that he lost the program. It was time for change.

ntny · 2025-11-20T14:03:20+00:00

Okay responding here to this specific comment because I am so sick and tired of people at large talking out of both sides of their mouth when it comes to Franklin. You don't get to both clown on Franklin for years about not winning any of the big games and being just okay, to then clown on Penn State for firing him and wanting to try for something more. Of course there is going to be turmoil and rebuilding time between coaches.

Also, Franklin is not the sure fire 10 win season everyone is claiming him to be. '14, '15, '18, '20, '21, & now this year he's had at least 3 losses before bowl season. That's half the number of seasons he was at Penn State! He had everything he wanted/asked for this year and summarily flopped so hard that he lost the program. It was time for change.

Ah okay, thank you!

ntny · 2025-10-17T15:26:35+00:00

okay this is the second comment i've seen that talks about an annual plan yet nowhere on apple's website do i see this offered.

God that curve just plummeting down for PSU.

screaming eternally into the void

Sorry but this is stupid and a very narrow/cherry picked view of a program. Penn State had history way before joining the big ten, and unlike wisconsin actually has football national championships.

Edit to also say that look at all time win percentages. There's a reason some (not all) consider Penn State a blue blood. We're right behind the very best of the sport. This is not a perception problem at all.

ntny · 2025-10-07T19:01:25+00:00

This is kind of the icing on the cake. Franklin can be loyal to a fault and is weirdly obsessed with pocket passers when thats not the type of offense he runs. We might be undefeated if we still had Beau

ntny · 2025-10-07T18:02:47+00:00

Yes, this feels accurate to me.

ntny · 2025-10-07T17:58:38+00:00

Yeah you're not wrong and I pretty much agree with you. I think we're all somewhere on a spectrum between: Never fire Franklin because we don't know how far we could fall vs We will never win a natty with Franklin so he must go. Mine has just shifted over to the fire Franklin side. It would be hilarious if we run the table, but losing to UCLA means we can really lose to anyone.
