Seeding torrents such as linux distros?

Weather underground is owned by IBM now

Anyone know of a community driven, non-profit weathet platform we can share weather station data with?

Maybe i2p

If you are feeling brave then maybe Invidious

Iirc signal has something you can host for the communications of strangers.

More aimed towards network operators than self hosters, but https://ring.nlnog.net/

Things like Freenet or ipfs where your node doesn't provide just networking but also storage.

Could be too obvious to mention here but a fediverse instance of some sort, lots of different software you can run besides the usual suspects like Mastodon or Lemmy/Kbin ranging from the more niche microblog platforms like Misskey forks (writing this on a Sharkey instance) to things like Bookwyrm for tracking your reading habits and connecting with other book lovers.

Distributed computing like distributed.net or Folding at Home.

Oh man it's been a while, but I used to be super interested in getting an Air Quality Monitor going. There's definitely ones that can seed their data to public databases.

If you decide to set up an SDR for ADS-B, you might want to consider setting up a WebSDR with something like OpenWebRX. This would let people listen to all the signals in the bandwidth that you set.

If you're interested, receiverbook.de is a list of most WebSDRs.

Not that I do it myself, but I belive with an SDR dongle you could contribute to both aircraft tracking and naval tracking. Big communities out there for this at least.
