How to use your servers for mutual aid?

edited March 28 in General

My mom taught me, that whatever I have extra of, I should share with others. So I am trying to share the servers I have access to, in a productive way that benefit people less privileged than me.

Let's use this thread to make a list of projects or software that:
1) Can be deployed with basic linux skills
2) Are motivated to provide long-term benefit to humanity, or:
3) Are motivated to provide a useful service accessible to anyone for free, or:
4) Are motivated to aid people in oppressive situations

The ones I know of:

    1. host an ipfs gateway
    2. host a syncthing relay, put a speed limit
    3. run a gogs / gitea instance, mirror software repositories that you care of
    4. run a data scraper for LES, make a graph about anything like drama / mjj keyword, sales trends, track all provider activity while you're on it, and then put the aggregated data in public

    feeling need more challenges?

    • host an url shortener / yopass / privatebin clone, learn how to deal with abuse automatically
    • create a page where you tests ping all of looking glass from LES providers, updated in fixed interval
    • take a look at free-for-dev, host similar service & offer it to LES community, bind them under contract so whatever resource uses will make them open source the project
    • self host jitsi, run your own seminar about IPv6, or just learn to talk with public in general

    Won't happen again, I will make damned sure of it.

    Oh and in case people wonder I run about 50 Tor exists around the globe, countless GFW hacks for people that where and how to look, I sponsor a Vet's integration program in my area, build desktops and laptops for said vets, I give out free shared hosting.

    So yeah, I help a bit sometimes.

    Eh why? Why should I give up code that is private and not available on the net?

    Are not the resources to learn out here? Do they not exist anymore? I am honestly asking since I have not looked in a long time, well since about the time Slackware was developed anyways.

    You can also contribute to free-for-dev by finding good services and list them. (and I'll merge it for you :) )

    as for mutual aid, maybe you can run web proxy's for kids at school.
