Deploy a Website on Imgur.com
This reminds me of my (now dead) open source Dropbox alternative Syncany [1] and all the different storage plugins I made for it [2]. Long story short, a storage plugin only had to implement the API methods upload, download, list and delete, so you could literally use anything as a storage backend (FTP, SFTP, S3, WebDAV, ..).
I made a few fun plugins that would encode data (after deduping, compressing and encrypting them) into PNG or BMP and store them on Flickr (which gave you 1TB of free storage for images) or Picasa (now Google Photos). It was actually relatively efficient and not slower than the other methods, and it looked super cool to have albums full of what looked like images of static. It was a blatant violation of their ToC, so obviously not serious.
The code is still online, it's from 2014/2015. The Flickr plugin with the PNG encoder is here [3], and I'm not entirely sure if I ever published the Picasa one.

Platform issues which disadvantage Firefox compared to first-party browsers
My biggest gripe with Firefox on Android is that sometimes I enter a domain in the address bar, press enter and nothing happens.
This behaviour seems to be erratic and only affects a few websites, such as https://forum.syncthing.net.
Closing the tab or using a different one doesn't solve the problem. I need to force close the app to fix this.

Why are Apple Silicon VMs so different?
Syncthing has had on their roadmap for 9.5 years to support iOS but hasn’t due to lack of interest by the developers to devote the time to make it.
https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/102
macOS is supported though.
And Syncthing via 3rd parties does support iOS.

Syncthing problems
I haven't been able to access https://docs.syncthing.net or https://forum.syncthing.net/ but I was able to access some of the docs via github. I think I've set it up according to the docs. The logs contain lots of messages like:

Syncthing: A continuous file synchronization program
You could try to force QUIC which should handle latency a bit better. The priority of TCP/QUIC will be configurable with the upcoming v1.23.5 release:
