I really like the use of @internetarchive to host recordings of conference sessions.

The @copim team have done a really nice job here with the COPIM Conference 2026 recordings: https://archive.org/details/copim-conference-2026

Rich metadata, abstracts, links to slides. 💯

You can also watch on x2 & x3 speed which is _very_ handy since we're all pressed for time 🙂
