> You also can't experience true lossless on any bluetooth audio output device

Pretty sure you can... there's no technical reason you cannot use BT purely as a digital-only lossless data carrier. Whether or not current devices exist that work this way may be another story though.


hard disagree. I think you can be happy about some things and not about others, and it's not so black-and-white.

Many users in the world are behind CGNAT or symmetrical NAT, and if both sides are, they will not be able to use WebRTC unless there is a TURN relay server involved. Does your software have a way to account for this?

Great question! Currently it uses Google's public STUN servers, which works for ~85% of connections. For the remaining cases, I'm planning to add a community-maintained list of TURN servers or a P2P fallback mechanism.

You could look into DHT as a way to distribute info about connected nodes, and maybe nodes with the right firewall setup could opt in to being TURN servers.

Doesn't that assume that your machine is given its own world-routable (and unfiltered) v6 address?

That's how it works in ipv6. If your network doesn't give you an address, it's broken. We do not assume unfiltered since we are talking about hole punching.

Sounds like a Canadian version of CALEA to me.

Can't both sides just keep trying different ports until they get lucky? There's not that many of them, and even if it takes several minutes to get a match, that's better than nothing at all.

Do you have a source for this claim?


Not everyone has a GPU available that can run this.

I think this is a classic slippery slope fallacy.

- "allowing all races to vote will result in a collapse of civil liberties and social order" (1800s)

- "banning alcohol will lead to an oppressive government that controls every aspect of private life" (Prohibition)

- "universal healthcare will just create a death spiral of uncaring doctors and a bankrupt nation" (UK NHS in the 40s)

- "putting a TV in every home will cause moral collapse and societal regression" (50s-60s)

- "introducing nuclear weapons will inevitably lead to the destruction of the world" (Cold War)

- "connecting everyone together with this 'Internet' will be the end of privacy and social order" (Al Gore)

- "AI will turn against us and enslave us all"
