At uncharitable times I feel like the "small web" is about making a new hype machine around a certain ideology. > P2P systems from 20 years ago also solved this problem. For example hidden services on Tor, i2p, generic DHTs, etc. In addition it's easier than ever to get static IPv4 services or to setup a tiny VPS whose sole purpose is to offer a static IPv4 that routes traffic from/to computers on your LAN. Other than Tor hidden services, there's also tons of other internet software out there old and new for network connected devices to share messages like Email, Usenet, Bitmessage, UUCP, NNCP, Secure Scuttlebutt, IPFS, DAT, nostr, etc, etc.
