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 leaderboardsThis 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.
Whats the difference with Linkwarden? I find it very similar to it. I’m looking for something like this but for future data search with a potent search or even LLM capable searchs. There is another called Data Hoarder that does this job too.
The GoodKarmaToolkit in particular is an extra project that is managed by ArchiveBox, but the listed services aren’t made by them. I’m not as familiar with ArchiveBox itself, and it looks like there’s an open issue about AI stuff: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/1139
There is another called Data Hoarder that does this job too.
Yup, Hoarder was the one I was planning to use for bookmark management: https://hoarder.app/
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
Yep, BOINC has regularly warmed my home office over many a winter… until I shutdown that machine.
Maybe I should try again…
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
I wouldn’t run a node unless you know what you are doing.
Instead, install the snowflake browser extension
Is the TOR part optional?
I think all of it is optional
Yup, the installation guide says to comment out the things you don’t want to run
Guess I’m learning what an i2p is this weekend.
I’ve got lab machines sitting idle. I know what I’m doing come Monday.
Increasing your power bill
Made me learn about Archiveteam, thanks :D
Love the art.
add https://catagolue.hatsya.com/apgsearch pls <3
I like this, thank you; saving to process further in the coming days…
