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 (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I have a dedicated blue ray ripping computer, but I haven't been ripping discs for a while. I booted it up, and I learn that its not on the AUR anymore? Site isn't working either ( https://www.makemkv.com/ ) A comment 2 days ago (Aug 9) said that the creator dissapeared :(

Is there another tool out there?

Not sure about the AUR, but the site goes down all the time and the creator has been MIA for months in the past. It's still on flathub and you can download publicly maintained keydbs, so even if the creator and website vanished permanently it'll keep working. If it were to stop working at some point you could probably cobble together a replacement with a few other tools: aaru to dump the disc, something to decrypt the aacs files, and mkvtoolnix to remux.
