I burnt about 100 disks last year as an offsite, nuclear resistant backup... though, if nuclear war broke out, that would be the least of my worries

June 13th, 2022. 7:13pm. If that's the last one I burn, I will at least know when. It was Windows XP Media Center 2005, for my fleamarket Dell Demension E510. Well, more accurately, an E310 with a E510 motherboard.

If we include DVDs I probably put a Linux distro iso on one in 2010 or 2011. CDs? Maybe a CD I made for a road trip on 2009 or 2010.

It was a CD rw and didn't actually work. The data wasn't there.

That's sad but true, man. Miss you "Car Rock VI".

There are plenty of people who never did that at all.

I doubt it. Although, I imagine I may have recorded over my last tape.

I literally have to do this for work so unless I lose this job it's gonna be another decade

I still store offsite backups on CD and DVD disks

I'm not dead yet and have a Blu-ray burner and some blanks.

I still burn them sometimes for the car.

I loved DVD-RAM. I could just mount them in Linux and copy backups on it. They are even reusable, like you could just delete a super old backup and put a new one on it. I think I stopped using them, because of capacity.

I miss lightscribe

I did know. It was 2 years ago when me and my neighbour pranked our neighborhood grandma by burning shitty music and leaving the CD in the mail.

I didn't know it was the last time, and I don't know when exactly it was, but I do know what it was that I burnt:

A Linux install CD

I don't burn CDs, I buy music on pre-owned CDs (Best Of albums, etc.) and rip them to my computer. Cheaper than some of the online music stores where you download the music files.

I was hoping for it tho.
