Check out Freenet my friend. It is exactly like the internet of the 90's in almost every way, with all the good and bad that entails.

Not happy with any overlay network in this day and age, I have a feeling they have all been compromised. One wrong click and the Thought Police will be at your door. Or at least the chilling effect of not knowing whether it's compromised or not is bad enough that it prevents truly free exploration of the network.

We need a one way system such as satellite data broadcasting, which has more than enough bandwidth for a Web 1.0 experience. I had an entire Usenet feed by satellite many many years ago, and it was totally anonymous because it's receive only. We now only have https://blocksat.info/ but hardly anybody uses it.
