Hello everyone, With a recent update to the PlexRequests application and new feature was introduced which involved regularly checking the status of the Plex server it’s attached to. Upon visiting the requests page you’ll see a status update and any maintenance notices that site upcoming downtime as well as the current status of the Plex server (up or down) within an accuracy of one minute. Please reference this page regularly as well as the twitter account for updates on whats up and worst case the status page on this site for data regarding all server statues if the others are not reachable as all but Nobreaks.ca currently reside onsite together and if the network goes down for whatever reason the local status pages will not be reachable. Regards, Team LightSpeed

Hey everyone, From the start of Nobreaks.ca and the Plex Media Server, I’ve been taking care of and expanding, scripting, everything, that you know and love now. But along the way I always had someone to bounce ideas off of and testing things with. One of my best friends and one of the smartest individuals I know, blackglitch, will be taking the role of Commander of the U.S.S Nobreaks. Now, we had a chat one day and decided to randomly assign a type of rank to everyone we knew relative to their contributions through me to Nobreaks.ca and we went with Star Trek/Starfleet ranks. Where I was at the time Captain LightSpeedTaco of the U.S.S Nobreaks, blackglitch became Commander immediately under me and while we lived together, he would be my eyes, ears and hands remotely in my absence. Now if you’re wondering why I was not Admiral, it’s because I was not funding Nobreaks out of my pocket exclusively but rather a group of individuals who shared my ideals of sharing media. Now, it’s all mine however I don’t feel Fleet Admiral is an appropriate title for myself as I don’t really own a fleet. As far as I’m… Read More »Introducing Our First Crew Member

Hey everyone, Well it turns out that the service mentioned in the earlier post is not available in my specific building yet and as a result can’t be upgraded to for the time being, but rest assured that as soon as it becomes available to me I will acquire it! In other news I finally got the NAS to utilize the expansion chassis as I wanted and as advertised. Apparently with the expansion units, one needs too create a new RAID group prior to the storage pool being able to expand which doesn’t make much sense to me but whats done is done and now we currently have 44.29 TB of usable storage space spread across two RAID 6 arrays consisting of ten 4 TB disk and six 4 TB disks which will soon be upgraded to 10 disks as well to make for a total of around 58 TB of usable space with two disk fault redundancy per RAID group. Not too shabby. That’s all for now! LightSpeedTaco

Hey everyone! So first the good news, today we will be upgrading to a 1GBps download connection with 50 MBps upload speed, more than double our current! I’ll keep you posted via twitter as things occur however keep in mind this obviously means downtime for a bit while the service is switched and modem upgraded. What does this mean to you though, basically less wait time for requests, faster automated fetching of new content and better, higher quality streams (provided your connection (download) can support it) and blazing fast speeds. Now on a more serious note. I’ve noticed some users account sharing meaning they have more than on user accessing the same account and therefore being logged as an account sharer and gumming up my logs regarding popular content that I collect. While I was never a stickler for no account sharing, the size that Nobreaks.ca and LightSpeedPlex has gotten to, a lot of data flows through a lot of systems and to have the extra overhead of a flip flopping IP for a user account sharing isn’t something I’m able to deal with. Upon suspected account sharing, you’ll recieve an email from me regarding the issue. If not responded… Read More »Fastest Connection to Date and s Word Regarding Account Sharing
