I’m lucky enough to have the money and space to build a home NAS w/ things I never want lost. We never know when a service is going to up and delete something like Star Trek prodigy. Buying a physical copy to support the things I love while having a digital rip for easy access is the only way to go
"We’re living through an age of mass deletion, a moment when entertainment and media corporations see themselves not as custodians of valuable cultural history, once freely available, but as ruthless maximisers of profit." @zachschonfeld.bsky.social

Like, yes, I have a digital rips of vhs of the late 80s classics sitcom Out of This World. Also, yes, I just haffeta have taffeta.
