There is a lot of totalitarian shit going on, this being only one of the recent tragedies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fshsk8MCAf4

I always try to say to myself: don’t wallow in grief, organize and act!

Except for advocating for online privacy in one’s everyday life and being politically active when I have the ability to, do you have any tips on what one can contribute with technologically, from home?

I have:

  • A 1Gbps up/down connection
  • An RTX 3080
  • A few Raspberry Pi:s
  • 20TB storage
  • A static public IP if I ask for it

What I have found so far:

  • running a Tor bridge or guard/middld relay - bridge for the sake of our peers living in places where Tor in inaccessible and middle relay to contribute with bandwidth
  • running a Monero node - although my GPU is LHR, so perhaps it wouldn’t contribute much to decentralization…?

      be prepared though: I2P is slow, slower than Tor, for now. that may improve with more peers but I don’t know what is the cause of the relatively low bandwidth.

      also in my experience outproxies are pretty unstable, but that’s not that big of a problem because I2P is more about in-network traffic.

        Thanks for the heads up! For now, I only want to contribute with bandwidth and decentralization, so I won’t be using the network myself. :)
