@npub1psd…9sr7 ha! I had a Z88 as well. Can’t say I miss it, unlike my work-issued HP200LX a decade later.

@npub17qe…u62y any new social platform designed after 1995 should have resilience to spam and abuse as a top level design objective. Just because it's hard in a decentralized environment doesn't give you a pass on it.

@npub1psd…9sr7 that virtual monitor just isn’t going to work because you need much higher resolution than available today:

@npub1tva…2yl5 the duress password is a neat feature, and as it is still a password, can't be used to DoS your device.

@npub1809…nd7t an artefact of NUMA, perhaps?

@npub1psd…9sr7 Or perhaps the lure of the forbidden will make them redouble their efforts, as with the Soviets and mercury propergols in your story "A Tall Tail"...

@npub1lp8…4rrw I’ve been happy with Vultr. They even support OpenBSD.

@npub1hxf…g8qu China bans foreign social networks and most cloud providers. In reciprocity TikTok should never have been allowed to enter the market in the first place.

@npub15c0…hxke What we really need is the ability to grant fake permission, e.g. if the site asks for geolocation, give it a fake location the user can specify.

@npub1psd…9sr7 in my native France there is a specific criminal offence for this, "refus de vente". I hope they are prosecuted for this as the Pontins travel company for blacklisting Irish traveller names as undesirable.

@npub1hxf…g8qu is there a reason not to make it a static website that can just be pushed onto AWS CloudFront or your CDN of choice? If you can live with the 25MB file size limit, CloudFlare Pages is a fairly good free (and fast!) option, e.g. this gallery of my cousin's wedding generated with my tool https://github.com/fazalmajid/pswp, using PhotoSwipe and Smartcrop for the thumbnails:
https://seema.pages.dev/
Or is it about authorization and access control? In that case, I've found the limiting factor is how to express the policies. You don't want to end up micromanaging a monstrosity like Google Zanzibar to specify the relationships, and in any case civilians can barely deal with a static login/password protected gallery, let alone something more sophisticated.
