Almost done with manually joining all the parts of early SOURCE conference talks. Once done I’ll encode and caption, and get them online. That’s almost the last of the defunct conferences getting re-encoded to AV1 with captions.

Time to rest. That was a giant push to get all the updates of the cons directory on the server.

Next is the long process of generating all the torrents and getting them in the tracker and on the torrent servers. That will take weeks, but at least the website has the latest.

The RTX6000Ada is cooking along, encoding and captioning. A big update in the works, should be a week or two until the next one goes live.

We have started a project to re-encode all the past conferences that are no longer operating.

Generally we just focus on updates, but over time as more cons stop operating we are leaving bhind those in he older video format (HEVC) and the newer, streamable […]

I’m looking for audio of videos from early Dutch Hacker cons, does anyone know if they exist for Hacking In Progress (HIP97), Hacking at the End of the Universe (HEU93), or Galactic Hacker Party (GHP89) ?

In celebration of WHY2025 we are cleaning up and reorganizing our collection of Dutch Hacker Camp events.

We got through almost all the drives at the #defcon Data Duplication Village #ddv - One failed duplicator prevented us from fulfilling the last of the VX Underground June 2025 collection.

Next year we will add an SSD only duplicator for those that want extra fast dupes.

Starting to build the #defcon Data Duplication Village HDD for all the https://infocon.org/cons/ files, about 5+ TB in size.
July 25, 2025 at 10:49 PM
Done with the big pre #defcon conference archives update! Starting g with 8dot8 and ending with ZeroNights, about 25 conferences updated and English captions added. Enjoy! https://infocon.org/con/

It’s getting close to #defcon so we will finish up our current encoding and get everything online and build the updated hard drives for the Data Duplication Village.

Once built I’ll post the stats of what the archive is like now.

Finally getting around to something I’ve always wanted to do. Fix the @ShmooCon videos for 2008, 2009, and 2010. Each talk is a series of many small video files.

Because I’m in the process of transcoding to AV1 and adding captions to #shmoocon, I’m finally going to manually join all the […]

The slowest party of preparing videos is generating the audio captions. There are some options to speed it up, but it reduces accuracy somewhat. We don’t want to have to ever regenerate them so it’s an upfront cost.

Currently generating for all of the HITB and ShmooCon talks, it will take more […]

We will start working on our next batch of updates soon, It was such a. Big batch of work we needed a read a rest.
March 25, 2025 at 3:20 PM
A big batch of #infocon #security and #hacking conference torrents have been updated! This was almost two months of work, the #securitybsides directory alone got over 30 updates!

Why so much time? We are converting the archive from HEVC -> AV1 format.

When we add a new con, like #bsides Las […]

Is there a # tag for tracking torrents of U.S. Gov data the #datahoarders are preserving?

While not related to our archive mission we do have spare disk and bandwidth to help.
