Is it still possible to get a ASUS BW-16D1HT hard drive in the year of our lord 2026? What else should i consider?

Sorry for the basic post, i am pretty new here but i want to grab a drive to make some long term backups via optical disc as well as rip some 4K blurays. This drive seems like a white whale and I would love some other recommendations if you have them. Thanks much!

edit: just realized i said hard-drive in the title. Please ignore that, i meant disc drive

Please help me cable manage the TV station I work at

We were tasked with removing some cables but it’s a mess under this floor. That’s what happens when the building has been running 24/7 tv since the 80s. No real way to tear it all out and start over.

I really needed an Amazon-free audiobook server.

Optiplex for $15 at the thrift store. Old UPS. JetKVM for backup but I use SSH mostly to manage it. Home assistant running on the raspberry pi.

Enjoy.
