The cumulative amount of work done in the past week has been a massive burden to bear however now that the time comes where I can sleep until whenever from whenever. It eludes me. So here I sit. On my couch. Waiting for the sun to come up. On the plus side, Don’t Drive Here is on (the LA Paz episode) which  was missing from plex I believe due to some schedule conflicting showtime at some point or labor day, etc. Whatever. Point is it’ll be there in the well… Now.. Morning.. Then… You get it. In other news. Big Brother US seasons 1-16 will end up on plex in due time. As you probably noticed. The bachelor started up again and is being follow by the no breaks system. Taco out for the night.

Hello all, hope you’re enjoying everything. Just letting you know I’m still alive and that the nobreaks.ca site has had a drastic reduction in HTTP requests making for a much snappier browsing experience. I’ve also been playing around with entire site backup to enable quick disaster recovery via an offsite method of filesystem and database. I’ve found a service I’m happy to pay for and have signed on for a year so we’ll see where that leads. My web host also offers a competitive rate of 19.99/month for 250 gigs of secure redundant FTP storage compatible with a mass of backup software and tools. Recently the database connection via SSH was broken for unknown reasons however the issue has been resolved and backups occur daily of both the filesystem and dataases on the ready to restore.

Hello all,   Just a heads up that I’ve deployed a script on my router here that will reboot it daily at 5:00 AM EST every day to avoid collisions or other miscellaneous router troubles that have been occurring and that we all know and love. The reboot only takes about two minutes or so interruptions should be kept to a minimum. I tried to pick a time where the least users are likely to be on. Please let me know if this conflicts with any of you night owls schedules and we can work something out. Regards, LightSpeedTaco

Its been a busy week here but it’s all paid off. The webpage is now fully optimized using Cloudflare and Amazon S3 CDN making for quick load times and minimal page size/HTTP requests. Also, I added a secondary CNAME DNS entry, hopefully that will ease some of the pressure on the primary DNS servers. Please let me know if you notice these changes or if you run into any problems feel free to contact me. LightSpeedTaco

The local database folders where Plex moves around and organizes content however nothing was lost. Please Wait until the status page updates or check back here in a few hours to see if I’ve updated this post. LightSpeedTaco Update – The server is back up and pretty well fully functional with the exception of some information like posters for some movies which I will fix later today. Update 2 – The indexing and information gathering is mainly done. Please report any issues via the contact page. Update 3 – The Web server experienced issues yesterday night but is fully functional again. The downtime was only about two hours. Enjoy
