in a perfect world there would be no DRM and physical media would be something we can create, manage, and use at our discretion. (i.e. you can burn a game to mdisc and play it on your playstation)

So I did some VHS math. If I transfer every VHS I own to external hard drives, that'll last 5 to 7 years. Then, sometime in that timeframe, I need to bust ass & spend $6000 to transfer that all to LTO tape drives, which buys us 15 to 30 years in the fight against entropy. MDISC BDs would last 1000.

Pues con suerte hoy empiezo a grabar ya los juegos en discos. Me tienen que llegar hoy unos Mdisc de 25gb y ya podría empezar. Me hice unas plantillas reshulonas para los diversos formatos de caja por si después quiero meterlas en cajas y no en un archivador. Pero poco a poco🙃

For archival purposes, you know?

You know why.

I've had trouble reading some CDRs and RWs from the 1990s and 2000s.
I use Mdisc Blu-ray for archival storage, but try to keep things on spinning magnetic too if deemed useful.

ちなみにうちのWindowsマシンのパイオニアの光学ドライブはこわれてて、フタがあかないんだ。リッピングは適当に買ったバッファローのBDドライブでやってる。次はMdisc対応の据え置きUSBドライブとかにしようかなとか考えてたけど、全て遅かったな。

MDiscのDVDが保存には一番適しているらしい。

übersteigen die Mehrkosten bei der Miete für den um Größenordnungen höheren Platzbedarf von papiernem Archivgut. Von eventuellem Energiebedarf für Trocknung / Klimatisierung der Räume abgesehen.

Eine Archivierung auf MDISC statt in einem RZ dürfte hier noch besser abschneiden.

Giusto 1 mese fa ho venduto il mio MiniDisc portatile (mi sono tenuto quello Rack perché ho ancora tanti Mdisc registrati).
Ho venduto le 2 Canon XL2 e il lettore JVC.
In ufficio abbiamo dismesso Betacam, Digibeta e DvCam.

Given politics right now, this is deeply scary.
@curiousgeorge7515 3 hours ago In some sectors, this is a HUGE problem. People in the areas of archiving, like major libraries, are always considering how to preserve human knowledge. A few years ago, there was a lot of effort in finding archival quality CD-ROMs and assuming that optical media would be readable in the medium future. That is no longer the case. What way can we keep data for the long term then? Hard drives and SSD's will fail. Optical media in the best case is expected to last 50 years. In a related topic, media like nitrate film from the 70's has been degrading in storage, so movies like Jaws required extensive restoration, both chemical and digital. 30 Reply 1 reply @bug5654 4 hours ago Can you hear that? In the distance? It's a very confident voice asking, "What could POSSIBLY go wrong?" 25 Reply @Mr_Wh1 4 hours ago You can't help to get a very bad sinking feeling when realize just how big a deal it is with the current development of things. If the last optical media options disappear, then physical media will go down with it. Then we are at the mercy of an industry that seem to hate their customers ever more. At this point I fear that only a total collapse of the internet would bring back any sort of ownership and physical media. 38 Reply 12 replies @desktorp 16 hours ago Makes no sense to have a technology ecosystem with no archival media. HDDs are not archive safe. SSDs are even less safe. When MDisc came about it seemed like that would be our option in to the foreseeable future. 14 Reply The Broken Tech · 14 replies

While going through a bunch of old shit, I found several cds and dvds of stuff I've burned and I don't have a working dvd drive in the house so I used my amazon credits to buy a USB mdisc burner so I can finally archive shit safely and out of the hands of fucking AMZ and GOOG

Brock Sampson, holding a knife challenging you sitting on the edge of the shelf with the green piggy shyly peering out at you, to the right is a strange robot with 808 colors on its front, continuing to the right M4 pro Mac mini with every single port being used plus an extension hub (it gets so hot that I put it on its side for better ventilation). In front of the M4 pro is a dolphin swimming, a unicorn, and a strange character in a black coat with a large beard, a big top hat, and a skull in his hand. Normal. Now we are slightly to the right of the M4, dolphin, unicorn, and strange man with an eyepatch, beard, and skull in his left hand. Directly in front of you as a dragon, Cthulhu, laughing Buddha, gelatinous cube dice with an angel sitting on top of it. All of this is on top of an M disk burner. Normal. We’ve now moved even further to the right and looking back at the unicorn/strange man/Cthulhu/dragon/laughing Buddha/gelatinous cube/angel/M disk burner- and are looking at the older M1 Mac mini with a pair of devil glasses that are red right in front (on top of it). Behind it is a picture of my much better half, holding a birthday cake for me, smiling. She would absolutely have me disappeared if she knew that I posted this picture. So, If you don’t hear from me in a few days, you know what happened. Close-up of the unicorn right in front of the strange man with an eyepatch, top hat, holding a skull in his left hand, wearing a dark coat. to the right is Cthulhu, the dragon, laughing Buddha, gelatinous cube, and the angel girl sitting on top of it. Normal.

I'm not some reactionary opsec prepper (and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that - I just have different needs). Going to pull EVERYTHING down again and burn it on mdisc and stick in the fire safe.

We unfortunately still don’t have many true long-term tests of M-Discs. They claim they’re good for 1,000 years, but the format isn’t even 20 years old yet and artificial age testing can only do so much.
NIST claims they’re good for 100 years, but far as I can tell they just took MDisc at their word

完成した作品のデータを今後MDiscに保存していくことになりそうだけど、すぐ取り出せるところにも置いておきたいから、結局はHDDに入れっぱなしになるんだよね。

EFTA00164646 | EFTA00164653 photographs, including nude and sexually suggestive photographs of a young girl who, based on the training and experience of law enforcement officers who observed them, appears to be younger than 18. The folder contains other nude photographs of young girls who appear to be teenagers, based on my training and experience. Inside the folder is a compact disc marked 'Mat US 6/03" (the MDisc"), which was seized by the Search Team. d. In a closet on the Fifth Floor of the Epstein Residence, the Search Team discovered, among other items, a box marked "women/old photos." The box contained, among other items, approximately seven compact discs, which are labeled with hand-written titles. One disc is marked "nudes 00-24." Another is labeled "Photographera `03" The remaining discs contain titles that include female names. All of the foregoing discs were seized by the Search Team. e. In that same closet, the Search Team discovered numerous black binders containing what appear to be print outs of digital photographs (with file names underneath) and compact discs. The Search Team seized approximately ten binders (the "Seized Binders") 3 which appeared to contain, among other photographs, photographs of nude or partially nude young girls, some of which are in sexually suggestive poses. Based on the training and experience of law enforcement officers who observed them, some of the young girls appear to be teenagers, some of whom appear to be under the age of 18. The Seized Binders also include photographs of what appear to be family functions, events, and travel.4 3 The Search Team did not seize the remaining binders. During the search, the Search Team took a narrowly tailored approach to the warrant, and accordingly left behind binders that contained discs where the majority of the discs were labeled in a manner thrit did not appear to refer to girls or nudes. However, given the materials discovered on the discs seized from the Subject Premises, as discussed below, this application seeks a warrant to seize any and all computing devices and media storage devices, including but not limited to materials that the Search Team did not seize during the execution of the Second Warrant. 7 2017.08.02 EFTA00164653
