I’ve got good news for you: Storage is now unbelievably cheap compared to just a few years ago.

I’ve forgotten what deleting a file even means.

Years ago when I started ripping CDs people called me an idiot for not using MP3 instead of flac. They aren’t laughing now. I fully admit that MP3 can be transparent at high bitrates and modern codecs even more so but that’s for the end device (like my car or phone) not archival.

The same will be true with my Blu Ray collection stored as decrypted ISO files… I hope.
