Care to suggest a model? I haven’t seen anything that cheap.

I was going to try ripping a Blu-ray that I bought recently, since I couldn’t find a quality rip anywhere

I don’t have first-hand experience, but I’ve heard that the linux version of MakeMKV does work; though I’ve seen some issues reported in the forum. MakeMKV is even available on nixpkgs.

I don’t know about MicroSD longevity, but I’ve heard BluRay and in particular M-Disc can last 100-1000 years of something crazy. So for archive, it might still be a good option.

I really hope streaming doesn’t become the only option, because even with >1Gbps internet, streaming services generally do not deliver as good of quality as I can get from something like a bluray. Even HBO and Netflix have very noticeable lossy compression.

I’ll give it a read! I wouldn’t have expected much relevant info on the Arch Wiki.

Got it, thanks for the correction. I had never heard of Pioneer before; I must’ve misinterpreted what I was reading on the forums.

Thank you! I found it on Anna’s Archive.

Sadly it didn’t have this one :(

Pretty sure the store requires that you provide a Japanese phone number. That’s where it was complaining for me.

Doesn’t that violate rule #3?
