One thing I am doing:
Is building an alternative to the web. A combination of secure communication resources. And a large repository of knowledge, not shared, using the web (tcp/ip).
Combine the following two.

2. Build a Low-tech Website.

Wow, I'm totally geeking out here! 🤓 😍 I'd love to know more, and will dig in to those sites. I can see I have some reading to do! 😋
I've been in web development more than 20 years, and have seen the bandwidth jump myself. All bloat! In the days of dialup, low-bandwidth versions were common.
Your effort really strikes a chord with me! I've always pondered alternative/backup systems, and love low-tech approaches. Mesh networks also perk my ears up.
