  Does having all of my music and video on a server next to my bookshelf count? The hdd is physical too…

    If you own it and aren’t licensing it through a service, then that’s the next best thing to physical.

      I would argue that keeping your own digital library on a home server is “better” (more convenient) than a bunch of discs that will also degrade over time.

    If you burn a book the information inside it disappears. If you shatter a hard disk the information inside it disappears.

    All data has always been on physical mediums. Anything in the cloud is just someone else’s hard drive.

    Computers aren’t magic, and neither are books for that matter. They are just different ways of encoding information on physical media, one is just significantly more advanced than the other.

      Incorrect, Data transferred live across radio waves is not, live TV/radio/live streams(Ram has to be updated constantly it technically counts) all are not stored.

  How long do CDs last?

  source

  • kipo@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Some estimates put conventional CD and DVD lifespans at 25 years, however they can last decades longer than that if they are stored away from UV light, and stored in a moderate temp and humidity controlled location.

    Under similar conditions, blu-rays are estimated to last around 100 years, and blu-rays that use non-organic dye layers (such as M-disc) can reportedly last 1000 years or more.

    As moisture finds a way between the layers, the disc will degrade. Too much bending or flexing of a disc will encourage separation of the layers.

    Good to rip them to your physical storage. Netflix, not so much.

  I’m a fan of physical media and at the same time I don’t believe in its supremacy; I don’t think it’s more practical than digital files for example.

  I still like it because 1) it can be a way to directly support artists that I like and 2) it’s a way to own content instead of renting it.

    You’re copying it, not erasing it on Disney’s end…

  I do for books. We just came from a park where I sat and read a book for an hour because that makes me happy.

  Physical media is great and all until you have so much you physically can’t get anything else
