Yes, modern internet stack is a cesspool, and it cannot be saved. - Specs (be it for hardware or software) are too complicated. The complexity can be controlled only by large companies (e.g. HTML5 == Chrome == new IE). And software/hardware companies fail to implement specs securely. - "Self-hosting" is becoming harder. Microsoft & Google controls (blocks) the email traffic for own gains. Public static IP address from ISP costs more than the whole thing (IP, virtual machine/hardware, electricity, etc.) from cloud. Additionally, Cloudflare etc. can take control of internet traffic. - "Cloud-hosting" has uncontrollable pricing. DDOS attack can make $100k bill in a few hours. - There only couple of "OKish" non-scamming/no-dark-patterns domain name registrars. - Google Search is dead (results are only AI-generated stuff + ads + scams). LLMs are the greatest manipulation machine ever invented.
