She was one of the judges and performed.
gollark: Yes, the OIR™ backend is now locked down™ with advanced HTTP basic authentication.
gollark: Although, being internet-based, it's not actually *broadcasting* without anyone connected, although it is encoding.
gollark: Into the void, from the arch, yes.
gollark: OIR™ runs a 128kbps Opus stream, which is somewhat worse quality than the 320kbps MP3 files it streams from.
gollark: Not directly! The audio quality is better if I just use the same playlist/audio files but directly on my laptop.
