Modrinth page has dead links

Request Description
All the performance comparison images on the modrinth page point to discord, which will no longer display unless inside the app itself. I suggest that these images be posted and then linked to either in the modrinth gallery, or in a branch that stores all these images.
Unfortunately, we don't have copies of the original images anymore, so for the time being we'll just have to remove them. In hindsight it was a mistake to directly link to files on Discord's CDN...
As stated in the original post you can post the links inside Discord and receive a working version to download and upload elsewhere.
Oh. I didn't pick up that "only viewable in the app" meant that one could just paste the links back into the client and get the token appended...
Images (as well as other data) also has been saved in the Web Archive:
Section with the lost data
AMD Ryzen 5 5600H / NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti (before 34 fps, after 253 fps) [7.4x faster]
AMD Ryzen 5 5600 / NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti (before 62 fps, after 516 fps) [8.3x faster]
Intel Xeon E5-1620v3 / AMD RX 6400 (before 52 fps, after 216 fps) [4.1x faster]
AMD Ryzen 3450U / AMD Vega 8 Graphics (before 49 fps, after 118 fps) [2.4x faster]
Intel Core i5-11400 / Intel UHD 730 Graphics (before 39 fps, after 110 fps) [2.8x faster]
Intel Core i3-4170 / NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 (before 38 fps, after 86 fps) [2.2x faster]
Intel Celeron G5900 / Intel UHD Graphics 610 (before 62 fps, after 155 fps) [2.5x faster]
P.S. By the way, all links to streamable.com are broken too
P.S. By the way, all links to streamable.com are broken too
On their website itself it states that videos only stay available for 90 days, so Streamable is also not a valid hosting option.
When we uploaded those videos a few years back, Streamable did not have the 90 days expiration...
It just goes to show that the business of "hosting other people's content for free" is a terrible one. These services have a half-life of 3 years on average, and unless you host it yourself, it's going to disappear.
We'll probably just shove the files behind a web server on our domain, since putting everything into the Git repository would greatly increase the bandwidth requirements of new clones.

HL3 confirmed 
putting everything into the Git repository would greatly increase the bandwidth requirements of new clones.
You could still use the: https://github.com/CaffeineMC/caffeine-meta repo if you want to avoid potential downtime and using up bandwidth on video traffic.
This is slightly off-topic, but the license on the Modrinth page should be changed from LGPL-3.0-only to the new PolyForm Shield License 1.0.0.

It shouldn't, as previous versions are still licensed under LGPL-3.0, this change affects only Sodium 0.6.0+
Sodium 0.6.0 will inevitably release, and I think that what's displayed on Modrinth should reflect the current status of a project's licensing, especially for a change this major. (To be clear, I do support Sodium's license change).
I personally change a project's license on Modrinth whenever I make any license change, even if a release hasn't come out under that license yet.
