I commented this in another thread, but thought that it could do with its own post.

It's a solid list to go off of if you want to pick a few to host. The link has more info on each, as well as which ones are non-profit / for-profit

Overview

Have some space computing power and want to donate it to a good cause? How about 10+ good causes at once?

♻️ put an under-utilized system to good use
🚲 use as much or as little CPU/RAM/DISK as you want
✨ 100% more soul warming than mining
📈 geek out over your CPU/disk/bandwidth stats on the leaderboards

This is a collection of containers that all contribute to public-good projects:

  • networks: Tor, i2p
  • computing: boinc, foldingathome
  • archiving: archivewarrior, zimfarm, kiwix, archivebox, pywb
  • storage: ipfs, storj, sia, transmission

This v1 list was started by the ArchiveBox project, but it's open to contributions.

Love the art.

Made me learn about Archiveteam, thanks :D

Be careful with compute intensive tasks. Some providers don't like when you actually utilize your rented hosts.

Not a problem when self-hosting on own hardware. Especially in winter. Overly complicated spaceheater goes brrrr

Going to Jail in Germany speedrun any%

I don't know all of the tools, do you mean the tor relay?

[-] Smash@lemmy.self-hosted.site 1 points 3 months ago

Basically all programs which enable file sharing via your Internet connection. Germany is notorious for having a huge amount of lawyers which are only dedicated to tracking down and file a copy right infringement (or worse) case against people, who had unlawful actions done over their IP. And if you can't pay your fines, jail time is waiting.

What's the general thoughts on running a TOR node?

I think an exit node would probably get my (domestic) ISP asking some questions and / or my static IP getting blocklisted quickly

Relay nodes are safe, exit nodes require special care. There's a guide of you're interested. You basically need a dedicated server with a understanding hosting provider and you will be contacted by law enforcement sooner or later. They usually go away after they learn it's a dead end
