    VLC sucks ass when you want to do any type of live transcoding or remuxing without setting up a video stream. Especially with multichannel audio:

    This has been an issue ever since feature added, the maximum bitrate you can set is 512 kb/s on every codec, despite codecs that support more.

    The bug thread for this was basically “stop complaining about our shit UI and use the CLI”

    Much prefer Kodi for this purpose, and an ffmpeg based player for lightweight stuff.

    That’s why it’s called “federated” and nont “decentralized”

    Freenet/Hyphanet is I think too slow for modern internet users. P2P networks have always struggled with solving the service lookup and access problem.

    Even advancements like DHTs or cheat methods like trackers will still only get you so far compared to plain old client server DNS.
