Self-Hosting to help a community? (fedia.io)

24 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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.

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/

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.

Good to know!

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.

Is the adsb.fi site connected to it in any way or are the two separate communities?

[–] lemmyingly@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Adsb.fi and airplanes.live were once in the same Discord server and worked together for several months rebuilding the community when adsbexchange sold out. I believe the original plan was to create a community where no one person could sell out and rug pull all of the donated data again, but I believe the owner of adsb.fi, Samuli, decided to take his data out of the community and go solo.

I've only heard one side of the story and so it might be biased against Samuli.

I would join his Discord server as well but I've used all of my server slots. It's a bit ridiculous of Discord to limit the servers a person can join, especially those who pay $10 for Discord nitro.
