The internet hasn't been the internet in years. It was originally built to withstand wars. The whole idea of our IP based internet was to reroute packages should networks go down. Decentralisation was the mantra and how it differed from early centralised systems such as AOL et al.

This is all gone. The internet is a centralised system in the hand of just a few companies. If AWS goes down half the internet does. If Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, Tencent Cloud or Alibaba Cloud goes down a large part of the internet does.

Yesterday with Cloudflare down half the sites I tried gave me nothing but errors.

The internet is dead.
