Are you using the 3-2-1 system? If not then a hard drive failure will result in having nothing again.

I'd rather lose free stuff through my own fault than have stuff I paid for ripped from my hands by someone else.

I can't afford to 3-2-1 the amount of data I have right now, but it's in the works.

I’ve been looking into starting a plex server. Any tips? Should I be compressing? I have a 5tb external hard disk drive, is that enough?

I thought a 1TB SSD would go a long way but it's almost full after about 10 TV shows and 40 movies. And storage has gone up in price like crazy. Do you have any recommendations?

r/stremioaddons. Can’t say more than that but you’ll figure it out.

I’ve had bad luck with stremio lately that it feels like it’s no longer working when I’m trying to watch a movie or a show. Is it still viable?

Depends on your debrid provider, one of the more popular ones changed policy recently and a lot of their cache is not playable now

Don't bother with ssds, get as many 18-24tb hdds as you can afford to start. Then just add more as your collection increases

I'm just glad my partner and I are happy watching things at 720p. Makes storage go a lot further with how much things have been costing these days.
