Eh it’s a lot of hq BluRay rips of disks I don’t have anymore. I could reacquire and rerip, but it’d be a total pita. The rest is personal docs/photos/etc. I’ve been spitballing sticking a NAS at my mom’s, but money’s tight right now.
DVDs also go shitty after a while (many years, but still).
Looks at my 60tb media archive
There’s got to be a cheaper way.

I sold student loan forgiveness for about 2 weeks in my early 20s (circa 2010ish), the first of which was “training”. When I actually looked at the terms of the program and the associated interest rates, I told my buddy that got me in that he was a scumbag and walked right out.

bobs_monkey@lemmy.zipto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which current musician/band that IS popular deserves their popularity because of their talent and songwriting?1·12 days agoI’m about to see Dead & Company in August, though I highly doubt that’s what you meant by current.
I have no clue what the kids are listening to these days. Now get off my lawn.
