I somehow have a bunch of blank cd and dvds that i got from thrift stores and parents. There good for some linux os’s but besides that im not sure what else to put on them or do with them. I would like to create a sort of binder for rainy days with various media but im stumped.

Im asking what type of media i should put on theses dvds/cds. I would do music but im not the biggest music fan sadly.

    VS HDD seems a bit unlikely. The typical cheap optical media isn’t designed or meant for long term archival. There are more expensive types that are meant for long term storage but I’m pretty sure that’s not what OP is talking about, especially if it’s just random blank discs from thrift stores, etc.

    But to your point even cheap optical media might outlast SSDs since those tend to lose their saved data if stored unpowered for x years.

      I wasn’t aware of this. Would you happen to have any handy links where I could read more?
