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

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 [http://linuxserver.io] even have a ready to go Docker container for easy setup: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/boinc [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 [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.

I have spare compute power yea. But not spare money for a larger electrical bill.

“Spare” cpu cycles are not free

Eh, in summer my solar panels are shitting out so much energy that most things beneath 8kW power are basically free during the day. And I can only drive the car so much and use the A/C before I’m forced to almost donate it to the electricity company for 0.07€/kWh. Might as well turn it into cycles.
May I ask, how much it costed the solar panels installation?
About 1500€/kWp. If I calculate that everything explodes right after the extended warranty has run out, it’ll be about 0.13€ per kWh generated. I don’t think this will happen if course, but at 0.37€ per kWh from the grid it was a no-brainer with that as an upper limit for the energy price.
