eyeroll keep your stupid DVDs I'm just gonna pirate and self-host.
This article starts with such a contrived scenario that I can't take it seriously enough to read the rest. If I had a generator and a DVD player with a bunch of DVDs, sure, I might watch the DVDs. I'd be far more likely to just go get a hotel room somewhere that has power and internet access. If the world has collapsed so far that you need a genny for entertainment, just go ahead and take the next step and start doing an oral history of your people, and don't forget to boil your water.
You won't be laughing when somehow all the hard drives die but DVD players still work.
I suppose a magnetic storm and in this scenario the earth's magnetosphere has failed but you're in a shielded bunker so you don't turn to soup from all the hard radiation but didn't bring hard drives?
Look whatever man spinny plastic goes brrrrrrrr.
