Querying the IP's of VLC nameservers works...

ns1.vlcplayer.org 213.36.253.2 ns2.vlcplayer.org 163.172.105.155

$ dig SOA videolan.org @213.36.253.2

;; ANSWER SECTION: videolan.org. 300 IN SOA ns0.videolan.org. admin.videolan.org. 2024010903 7200 3600 2419200 21600

$ dig NS videolan.org @163.172.105.155

;; ANSWER SECTION: videolan.org. 300 IN NS ns1.videolan.org. videolan.org. 300 IN NS ns2.videolan.org.

It's like VLC domain expired and removed from DNS system.

athoik··on AI at Google: our principles
Some time ago, the π day... I become aware of the following. Sadly I totally agree with the "trend" :(

"If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality."

athoik··on How Much Does an Experienced Programmer Use Google?
Using Google is ok, but mastering Google is art!

Although sometimes you are the first that hit an issue.

Solving the issue and sharing the results is the next greatest thing one could do. Reporting the issue is great too.
