If you have spare computing power, consider donating some of that to a distributed computing project

boinc.berkeley.edu Compute for Science

BOINC is an open-source software platform for computing using volunteered resources

Berkeley has this really cool program called BOINC that you can download and donate your computer's resources to processing scientific data. There are a bunch of projects to pick, from working on climate change, to cancer, to the Large Hadron Collider.

The good folks at linuxserver.io even have a ready to go Docker container for easy setup: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/boinc

Another possibility is running the Archive Team's Warrior, which downloads data from at risk web sites and uploads them to the Internet Archive: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveTeam_Warrior

Does anyone else have examples of projects like this? My dream is for the Fediverse to have this sort of feature eventually.
