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...?

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!
