Ah yes, wafflestomp. A classic.

Where's the slaves?

I'm using Connect, which is usable, I suppose, but it's not great, IMO. Links to other instances don't really work that great, as it interprets them as users.

Will come back here when/if the links are fixed.

It really is awesome. Lots of leaps forward for AV1 recently. It encodes faster than x265 in some situations with so much space saved. It's still in the early stages, really, and the compression isn't perfect, but for video streaming purposes, I'll take it over x265 any day.

I have a personal Jellyfin server, and I usually reencode from x264 to AV1. Though if it's a matter of choosing a source, I always go for x264 for the least compression.
