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.
I2P has been slow for at least 10 years. I thought it would be faster by now. If there is any time people would be motivated, it’s now. We might see a surge in use and speed yet!
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. :)
