Interesting, will take a look. Regarding your questions:
- Historically, reputation and web-of-trust models have been tried with mixed results (see PGP/GPG history)
- Proof of work for human validation can probably be gamed, useful as a potential workaround for rate limiting/DDOS mitigation though (check how Tor uses it)
- I'd be very skeptical providing my full KYC details to a new service, perhaps a host verification a-la Let's Encrypt could be useful as a Layer 1 "KYC" tier?

As a quick solution before implementing the more sophisticated suggestions in this thread, you can try getting a small cheap VPS from somewhere outside and trafficking all your traffic through it via sshuttle[1]. For example, Vultr (not an endorsement) has some with ~$3/month that should be sufficient for your case.

Well, since you asked, Arcanum, Colonization, Fallout 1, the original Pirates and, well, Caves of Qud (surprise).

Cartography, check. Alpha Centauri game, check. Very cool.
On my list, Alpha Centauri easily makes it on top 5 games ever made.
Thank you for the trip to memory lane. <goes to GOG to download the game>

Regarding Bluesky's decentralization: https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/
(hint: not that decentralized after all)

The immediate answer that came to mind _before_ I read the article, was "keep things simple". A lot of good things emanate from this mentality.

Good thing I managed to grab a HiFive Unmatched. OpenBSD works sweetly on this.

I'm now wondering how many decades are still being lost because of similar bugs in other OSes that don't get as much scrutiny, like OpenBSD or even FreeBSD.
