fuck load up on your physical media if you can. torrent like a madman if you can't. streaming isn't coming to save the day. behave like you got a hot tip about plans to burn the Library of Alexandria.

Hm, why? We store everything on spinning rust here, why should I use optical Media's for that?

Collect physical media if you can, and if physical media for the thing you like doesn't exist, find a way to make it happen!

Blu-rays specifically feel like a crime given that they store more than enough data to still be relevant, but more specifically you can frisbee one across a carpet and it will be fine but a dvd would be unusable. It's a very good storage medium for movies, tv series and entire drm-free discographies

I was shopping for an all-region DVD player last year and it occurred to me to buy two. One is staying in its box in the event that the other breaks down. I’ve got a huge collection of DVDs/BluRays and I’ll be buying up as many as I can in the near future.

It's not like all optical media manufacturers are shutting down.

Torrents, streaming, everything going digital over physical. Even places that normally sell DVDs shutting down all made this predictable to me.

Streaming isn't a step up in quality, like the evolution from VHS to optical media. This is all about getting consumers to pay for access to the same content month after month, year after year.

Synology makes a hell of an affordable NAS, just saying.
