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…?
Just read the whole FAQ section and it’s a really cool idea on how to circumvent censorship and attain some level of plausible deniability! I’m not quite ready to run a Hyphanet node though, since I’m not yet comfortable with the notion of storing other people’s data on my drives in this anonymous format. Which is a bit hypocritical since I already contribute with nodes on other networks/solutions that don’t require me to store others’ data, just let it pass through my equipment… Maybe I just need to sleep on it. 😅 Anyway, thanks for sharing! 😊
