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, 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?

In the bottom right corner of the player is a button labeled "native" it opens a dropdown in which you can select translation
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_IxoDz1Nq2YUlQqBSg0F...

This has both English-spoken and translated videos on it.

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.
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.

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.
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

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