Meanwhile me with a CD book that has 17 bootable DVDs and CDs plus a separate DVD+RW for more random, less permanent crap and a portable USB DVD drive (the drive is sourced from e-waste and fails to write both DVD+/-RW and CD-RW at 4x, only 2.4x and 10x respectively work).
I like spinny media.
I mean, I also have a Ventoy disk, but I haven’t used it for a looooong time because it’s no fun, but discs are.
I just need a bigger backpack. The WRT54GL is taking up quite some space too.
Not to mention iso booting from a disc…just works. Too many times I’ve tried booting various USB images only to have it fail for unknown reasons, the host machine has this weird quirk of not able to boot from a 3.0 port or…idk
That shit, for whatever reason, can’t boot from internal DVD drive. I tried with 2 of them. Both had functional drives, I tried disabling secure boot, enabling legacy boot and some other settings which seemed related, but nothing worked. Then for shits and giggles I tried a USB DVD drive and that worked just fine.
Ya…some devices are seemingly straight hostile for doing this. Combined with Dells insistence on shipping PCs with a wonky “raid” mode for it’s single drive. Just mess. UEFI/secure boot etc…

Much cooler than ventoy, no?

Oh boy, you haven’t met some Dell Optiplexes.

As someone who loves collecting/hoarding things, major jealous.
Disks are fun, lol are you a masochist?

You have all that up your ass!? ( ; ﾟДﾟ)
I mean, they have a hole in the middle, so if I stack them they let stuff pass.
I- I didn’t think of that…
