The fight for privacy and security in a centralized system is a battle that is lost before it has even begun for all participants.
You need to redesign everything from scratch and be aware how the old system was flawed. The tradeoffs are usually complex high energy vs. simple low energy and it's always a good idea to start with the simple low energy.
SMTP(1971), ETHERNET(1973), IP(1974), UDP(1980), C64(1982), TCP&DNS(1983), HTTP&BGP(1989), DHCP(1993) and RASPBERRY4(2019) are never going away because they are simple. If you want to use something new make sure you are not wasting everyones time!
Edit: I added two hardware devices because they mark the first and last open personal device humans made at scale big enough to matter so that you can see the timeline properly; it took us 50 years to complete the creation loop of a global computer network.
It's going to be REALLY interesting to see what the Raspberry 5 looks like. My guess it's going to flop like the PS5 unless they REALLY increase the energy consumption of the GPU by a factor of atleast 2x, but they need to make that dynamic or the 4 will retain it's low energy value and hurt adoption (think C64 vs. 128)!
