The work on the streaming server was largely done in 2023, in honour of @nova, after she's shown on a stream that something really weird was up with streaming.
Turned out it was issues I'd discovered in 2018 but hadn't had time to fix.
So I spent a tonne of my own time (I wasn't yet paid as much by the community) to improve the streaming server significantly.
This refactoring is still ongoing, but I'm balancing it with other work, like FIRES and improving the moderation UI.
