Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

This is what I always think. The real movie was hundreds of gigs, maybe TBs. What you get on the Blu-ray is already compressed to all hell but perfectly mastered to hide as much compression as possible. Why would you want compress it even worse? Hard drives are cheap, if you already want to store 1080p/4k copies of movies, just admit you're like us and pick up a couple 20TB drives
