Can someone summarize what this is and why it’s interesting? It’s not clear from the landing page, it looks like some kind of listing of streams?

  The 36C3 is a gathering of hackers hosted by the german Chaos Computer Club (CCC) and is one of the biggest in the world. Traditionally many of the talks streamed there are pure gold, they even have english translation for the German talks. Given that the title of this page is hacker news it should really be on the top of the page when it is happening. All the stuff is recorded and stored on http://media.ccc.de http://media.ccc.de, which you can spend months on because you will find recordings of more than a decade of talks on interesting topics.

    > they even have english translation for the German talks Really? I tried the videos and couldn't find any. How do you unlock these translations?
    - dapanejnapt 7y ago
      I too could not find them on media.ccc.de, but this is the list of English talks from 35C3 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_IxoDz1Nq2YUlQqBSg0F2PB5jqXMoNmu https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_IxoDz1Nq2YUlQqBSg0F... This has both English-spoken and translated videos on it.

      In the bottom right corner of the player is a button labeled "native" it opens a dropdown in which you can select translation
    - phlo 7y ago
      It's available, but a bit hidden on media.ccc.de. There's a cog wheel icon on the lower right corner of the video player. Hover over it, and a list of languages ("deu" is German, "eng" is English, "fra" and "esp" are French and Spanish, respectively) should pop up.

    I always thought the hacker in hacker news is the Velley interpretation as a company that gets something live as quickly as possible, hacking it up as it were. Not the traditional interpretation as someone who breaks apart systems to examine or access them. I get the impression that Valley culture is an antagonist towards antifa organisations, so traditional hacking is anti-corporate in Valley eyes. C3 are great presentations though, and truly give an excellent insight to modern tech.

    “Hacker” “news” is about corporate boot licking.

  It is like defcon but in Germany. If you check the ccc.de website it will help you to get a better idea

  It's the annual Chaos Communication Congress that is held between christmas and new years eve and that is also live streamed. Usually there are lot's of interesting topics for the HN community
- DasIch 7y ago
  These are live streams for the chaos communication congress. The most important conference for hackers in Germany and certainly one of the most important conferences for hackers world wide.
- rvz 7y ago
  The streams and videos posted here are essentially the gold standard of security and hacking talks from extremely clever hackers around the world who gather here to showcase their projects or research on many topics from security, open-source, hacking, retro-computing, privacy, etc. There is always something interesting to learn from these talks on CCC (Chaos Communication Congress) every year and that is why they're of interest to many of us here.

Keep in mind that the ccc has basically become a political organization. They're openly in bed with a left wing extremist organization (which most would call a terrorist group) and host their stand on that congress. edit: that didn't even take 30 seconds
- yorwba 7y ago
  Of course they're a political organization. The "Ethics, Society & Politics" track should be a pretty obvious hint: https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2019/Fahrplan/events.html#ethics,%20society%20&%20politics https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2019/Fahrplan/events...
- beefhash 7y ago
  You're not forced to attend/watch the political parts though.
  - s9w 7y ago
    Well I wouldn't be allowed in, but that's another topic. I'm fine with people going there - Just spreading awareness. An event hosting a stand and having a banner of the Ku Klux Klan at the entrance would certainly not be defended like this.
    - hulano 7y ago
      Wtf? What the fuck are your political views that you are not allowed into the congress? And why do you think its a good argument of comparing kkk to something else? I don't even know whot you are comparing the kkk with.
      - s9w 7y ago
        The ccc has a Unvereinbarkeitserklärung

PSA: All talks will be live-translated between English and German, and into one additional language (primarily into French or Spanish; on occasion there were translations into Russian and Mandarin) [0]. If you find any talks on the schedule [1] that seem interesting but are in a language you're not fluent in, use the 'native'/'translated' switcher in the video player. Subtitles will be available after congress, here [2]. Finally: Congress is an amazing experience, and it's all volunteer-driven (including the crazy network infrastructure, the live streams, the translations and everything). If you have some spare time between Christmas and the new year, consider visiting next time around. It's a lot of fun!

  You'd have to be lucky though. Unless you are/were an angel (volunteer) you'll have to depend on the ticket lottery. The switch to Hamburg wasn't enough to accommodate the number of participants nor did the switch to Leipzig. It really is a very popular event.
  - Aweorih 7y ago
    There where 3 dates for buying a ticket. For me it was no problem as the webpage for buying did not have the usual problems like being down when sale started. You have to be there in time though
  - glogla 7y ago
    They are slowly scaling the event up. Hamburg were 15k people. Last year was 18k. But they are careful to scale it slowly so that things dont collapse.
- guiomie 7y ago
  Will they be on youtube? Id like to watch them when travelling.

Looking forward to this years installment of talks. I sort of wonder if this year will be a bit more technical again. The last 5 years felt like technical topics faded into the background in favor if social issues and knitting ...
- beefhash 7y ago
  The schedule looks pretty decently packed again this year to me. I'm interested in at least one talk from almost every time slot, personally.

  If you're looking for a good and approachable talk about IM crypto and related subjects, hunt for this one once it gets published: https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2019/Fahrplan/events/10565.html https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2019/Fahrplan/events... Saw it live and it was quite enjoyable.

    Already published: https://media.ccc.de/v/36c3-10565-what_s_left_for_private_messaging https://media.ccc.de/v/36c3-10565-what_s_left_for_private_me... Another talk that's pretty awesome is this one: https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2019/Fahrplan/events/10859.html https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2019/Fahrplan/events...
- ATsch 7y ago
  The non-technical topics couldn't be more relevant today. The idea that tech just exists in a bubble, and that one does not need to concern themselves with any ethical or moral implications is causing more harm than ever before. Dismissing that as "social issues and knitting" is concerning to me. (knitting also being a notably feminine-coded activity)
  - mam2 7y ago
    You also have to cater to your user base. Otherwise theres no point going to that conference instead of reading medium articles.
