Recently, I’ve stumbled on more self-hosting projects that help out different communities/groups/non-profits. Examples:
- RIPE Atlas Probe
- Tor Snowflake (or relay)
- Archive Team Warrior
With a hardware investment:
- ADS-B Feeder (need SDR)
- Weather Underground (need weather station)
What else is out there along these lines?
I’m less interested in things like CryptoCurrency nodes or mining (including things like Helium), or very resource-heavy things like Folding@home.
yup :) Already doing that.
Hopefully you’re not feeding https://globe.adsbexchange.com/
It was an open community and then the person who ran the server sold it to a corporation for over a million dollars. I believe the community strongly dislikes the person and spun up their own website and server https://globe.airplanes.live/
Good to know!
I was picky about the ones I feed to… community ones I feed to are adsb.fi, adsb.lol, airplanes.live, plane.watch, opensky-network, and on the commercial side, flight radar 24 and fightaware, both give premium access for feeding, which is nice.
I feed to https://adsb.fi for this reason.
I’ve got nothing against the owner of adsb.fi, but the owner pulled their data out of the community and wanted to go solo… or that’s the stories I’ve heard, which might be biased against the owner.
