Physical media is bad for the environment and should be banned already. Get a NAS and selfhost

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is there any way to build a library for a NAS without illegally downloading it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, there's that physical media.

I think that "bad for the environment" gripe is pretty weak. By that argument so are books. Meh.

Ban physical books too

TBF I'm pretty sure all the rare earth minerals and manufacturing that goes into the NAS and hard disks is far worse than some small plastic discs. I say this a a huge NAS user myself.

Self host what? Last I checked physical media is the only way to own something.
