Some time ago, I was asked to share notes and details of how I archived my old CDROM media and I did reply in the thread, but never really posted the guide I wrote otherwise.
So here is the crappiest guide to dumping CD/DVD images on Linux/Unix-likes, in case it happens to be of use to anyone.
Hey #Seattle, Scarecrow Video is trying to raise 1.8 million dollars to stay open. I'd been meaning to visit, and they're amazing! Consider supporting them with a membership if you like physical media. (They also rent by mail.)
Looks like #Redbox is going out of business. Can't say I ever used one personally, but it really sucks that the last gasp of physical video rental is dead. With Target and Best Buy leaving the #DVD market, and walmart scaling back, #physical#media sales are basically a thing of the past. This particularly sucks because it raises the cost of #entertainment. No longer can you rent or buy a DVD and watch it on the cheap, you now need subscriptions and service contracts and isps and such.
Today's topic.... #movies Only in second place in the last vote
But we all love movies, don't we?

I have ~800 #DVD/Blu-ray discs with digital backups on a #NAS. And I use #PeerTube (admittedly, mostly conference sessions.) I watch #podcasts which are not hosted on #surveillance economy sites. I listen to ad-free #audio streaming constantly.
What I DO NOT watch is CBC's streaming content, which were larded with #advertising, heavy surveillance. #Journalism#bias
More and more people are buying physical DVD/Blu-ray media.
I have been saying for some time, you can't depend on streaming services to keep your favorite shows available.
Same for music.
Oppenheimer's Christoper Nolan encouraged fans to embrace "a version you can buy and own at home and put on a shelf so no evil streaming service can come steal it from you."
I did a search to try to figure out if #Region0 discs where common/expected for South #Korean#DVD releases, and found this article which I was pleasantly surprised to see having been published in the Washington Post 22 years ago.
