Boy, what a reputation mix — folding@home and tor relay nodes haha.

I assume running a relay node is basically airtight/zero-risk (as opposed to an exit node where whatever objectionable content someone might be browsing is "browsed" by your IP)?

I've been running a tor relay on my static IP at my home for over a year now and haven't seen any trouble from it.

On the other hand, Nginx Proxy Manager got me blocked by brightcloud for the dumbest reason imaginable - the word "proxy" on the default "it works" page - https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/dis...

Wow, this just seems like a terrible idea all around. Just run the individual service you wish to run. Especially mixing in for profit companies, tor nodes, and not for profit services like Folding@Home seems very dangerous.

It seems someone is trying to pass some less tasteful containers in the name of more reputable ones.

Tor might be good karma, but running a relay node is also a good way to be complicit in the sharing of illicit materials. Run this at your own risk

As is placing network hardware to connect people around the world. What a ridiculous statement.

> What a ridiculous statement.

"Hi, welcome to Ben Gurion airport! Has anyone else besides you packed your luggage, or have you left your luggage unattended, or out of your sight, for any instant of time?"

No, the ridiculous thing is pretending that the rest of the world views technology the way that you (and many others - myself included!) think that it _should_, rather than in the way that it _does_. You may believe, with some justification, that authorities _should_ treat "running a Tor node" and "running network hardware" as equally responsible for the data transferred on them - but the fact of the matter is that they _don't_, and so caution is advisable.

Agreed: caution is advisable.

At the same time shaping perception is key. Authorities may push a narrative that affords them greater control. If that's not the world you want, the first step is not to legitimize it.

Relay or exit node?

It needs a karma counter, ranks, and achievements to show how much someone contributed.

The ArchiveTeam Warrior Tracker has some of that.

The ipfs image listed here doesn’t pin files for anyone by default, it’s just a p2p node.

I was expecting a lot more work done here to automate donation.

I don't run this specifically, but I do run several of the same services on my file server at home. Hasn't caused me any trouble so far.

What architectures are supported? Last I checked, ArchiveWarrior only supports AMD64.

Dangit! I was hoping this was a way to improve my HN karma.

Since everyone here hates me 8-/ boo hoo...

Maybe I should follow the business logic and just start making comments that are specifically tailored to engratiating myself with people. Surely someone here has an LLM for that?
