Maybe I got my history wrong, but that earlier philosophy of the Internet simply being a “web” of a bunch of interconnected computers/nodes felt like it was way more resilient.

Data centers certainly still have their use, for storage and CDNs and whatnot, but I feel that the corporations’ usual lust for monopoly probably overcentralized our infrastructure, annnnd here we are where if anything happens to AWS or Azure or whatever, nobody can connect to anything.

Corporate enterprise controlled networks are super lame.
