The internet is over. We are going back to static htmls for public pages, and Point to Point VPN bases connections for B2B service provision.

B2C? too risky to publish services online haha.

>We are going back to static htmls for public pages...

God yes, please. I backpack and mountaineer in the PNW and have been trying to research trip ideas up in British Columbia, and as a result I discovered https://bivouac.com.

Here's a website that's still frequently used by a large number of people as a valuable resource, is regularly updated and maintained, and yet looks like it's straight out of 1995.

Every pages loads instantaneously, everything is simple yet packed with detail, and it's such a basic, straightforward, delightfully pleasant experience to just browse through the site. I was so thrilled after just 5 minutes on the site that I threw them $25 for a year's full access.

Sorry for the tangent, but oh man, it's such a refreshingly stark contrast to the rest of the bullshit that fills the web these days.

		Simple and fast also works better when you're sneaking some internet from your hike to recon your next chunk of trail, good on them!

Still some industries where you cable colocated servers in a shared DC together where neither server has internet access.

Consider using spiped.

I think you missed why they’d be doing it in the first place.

		No, but being able to directly cable two servers in a COLO rack isn't always possible.

Static HTML, yeah.

Not sure about VPN. Seems likely to provide a false sense of security.

I think they mean VPN as in WireGuard where each customer would have a separate private network to the service provider. This way the service wouldn't be exposed to the public Internet.

		MTLS would do the job, but you still just need one compromised customer.
