How can I contribute processing power to the community?
-
Hello folks,
I have a mini PC which I use to host my website and some lightweight services. The mini PC idles at ~10% cpu usage. I was wondering if I can contribute 90% of CPU to the community. Thinking that maybe I can host other people's websites for free.
How can I do that? Should I host some fediverse software? What do I do with this much processing power?
Thanks in advance!

The Tor network relies on volunteers to donate bandwidth. The more people who run relays, the better the Tor network will be. The current Tor network is quite small compared to the number of people who need to use Tor, which means we need more dedicated volunteers like you to run relays.

Pretty sure tor is a honeypot... Not sure the alternatives though
Edit: maybe honeypot is not the right word, but at the nation-state level this won't keep you anonymous I'm guessing. Good for normal people who want more privacy

That's definitely not what I've heard, please elaborate.

Tor itself may not be, but private users are competing against NSA resources or something
Take everything I say with a grain of salt. I don't think the protocol itself is broken with enough people doing exit nodes, and I think normal people will benefit from privacy granted by tor.
But I bet with high certainty that if the NSA wants you it can probably find you.
The below YouTubers I've seen before but I also can't independently verify whether they are just click baiting or not...

Stop getting info from yt "infosec" channels.
No one uses single exit-entry gateways in tor anymore, and the widespread use of tor bridges, split exits and vpn (now that they're quite fast) means it's much easier for law enforcement to fingerprint traffic rather than sit and wait for someone to tilt their hand and reveal an exit node that will have moved in an hour anyway.
Think about it: if criminals were successfully moving illicit goods and hiding the comms, you think you would hear about it on YouTube, of all places?

You're saying law enforcement can easily fingerprint you? Or am I misreading what you're trying to say?

You're saying law enforcement can easily fingerprint you?
Yes. The days of Maltego are behind us, law enforcement now just file requests directly with Google.

Even on something like tor browser or tails?
