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...?

One simple way to run a Tor bridge: The Snowflake extension. It's a browser extension that runs whenever you use your browser.

There is also a docker image, if you want to run it as a full-time service.
