Best way to donate home internet bandwidth in 2021?
I am having near 10gbits synchronous home internet since a while and it's idle most of the time. There are quite some articles on how to donate bandwidth but they seem to be quite outdated. What ways can you recommend to donate bandwidth to something good without needing to many resources? I would like to run this on something with low power requirements like a few Raspberry PI each serving 1gbits.
Note: I do not have any data-caps and I am not afraid to use a few gigabits continuously.

Local ISP?
You could share with neighbors, though in my opinion you may want to set up captive portal with an end user agreement. Even if its free, in 2021 the laws have been slowly catching up with the internet and your users could bring a lot of heat to your doorstep. You could even become a "free ISP" for your neighbors and SWIP [1] out address space to them assuming you have a big enough CIDR block with that 10gb/s connection. If not and you are letting people share your address space, then you should have a way to log who is doing what since that circuit is in your name. When neighbors do something dumb, it will come back to you.
