Please use tubeup [1] to backup at risk videos to the Internet Archive. It uses youtube-dl on the backend for retrieving content, subtitles, etc, and will properly set metadata for the item in the archive. The content will be darked if there’s an issue serving it, and the IA staff and storage system will throttle you if necessary (which will bubble up as s3 timeouts).

DEFCON, CCC, and other infosec groups need to move to peertube ASAP.

CCC famously rolls their own streaming infrastructure during congress and all of it is available at https://media.ccc.de/

Not just during congress. The C3VOC (CCC Video Operations Center) serves Chaos events and tech conferences throughout the whole year.

Someone suggested federating with the PeerTube network to the people maintaining the backend for https://media.ccc.de , but there doesn't seem to have been a decision on that yet.
