hackadayWe've talked a lot about physical media this week.
Here's a question: how much media would you have to enjoy if the cloud went down and you only had the discs, tapes, records and books in your own collection?
Sebastian Krzyszkowiak@hackaday Vast majority of the music I usually listen to and plenty enough of yet unread books not to worry about it :)
Fuzzy Reginald Wombat III@hackaday I reserve the right not to answer that question on grounds that I may incriminate myself. Suffice it to say, I won't be running out of stuff to binge for a fair bit, streaming catalogs be damned.
Juho MäntysaloMy local library has a good selection of everything I might not have at home.
Exellent@hackaday let's just say enough 😅
Preston Maness ☭@hackaday I'll be watching #TheMatrix over and over, I suppose.
Ashley Gay@hackaday
Just about 25TB :3

Robee? Na! 🌈@hackaday A lot. 😂 I might even catch up on blu-rays, retro games and books, if it was down for enough years

Kazriko@hackaday Well, I think I have 400 hours of music stored away, and maybe a few years worth of movies and tv shows that I keep putting off watching because I have them on physical media and can watch them any time. Probably 20 years worth of video games to play, and hundreds of books to read. I'd have said 30-40 years of games but probably half of them are on Steam, and may not be accessible anymore.
@kazriko Ah yes. So many of us have swelling Steam libraries but very little locally stored. Even worse that the platform typically requires web auth to allow access...
@hackaday Even if I did copy them all locally, there's utility libraries for running windows games under linux that I'm not sure how to backup that would have to be grabbed off the net, that steam does automatically when you launch one...
