So my family has a few containers of unused blank dvds that are just lying around collecting dust. i know dvds are almost useless because of streaming, but can they still be used. Theses dvds can only be written to once and they only have like 3 gb of storage on them, can they still be used?, do they have a use?

Yeah, once I finally moved into this decade I started using flash drives, and was using that. Sadly, school doesn't let me use Linux, so now I just keep a thumb drive with Ubuntu on (that I upgrade from time to time), in case I need to rescue something. I really wanted to get into fedora silver blue, it seems right up my alley as someone who's only ever been knee deep into this stuff, but online college does system checks and mandates I use Windows or Mac. :/
