I mean im just going to abandon the mainstream internet for the most part eventually. I don't have a use for all these devices if they are reporting everything back to corporate controlled servers. And a lot of this IOT stuff isn't hard to do yourself with stuff like an rpi or stm32 modules. I think what's really lacking though is good point to point communication over distance with people/things on a closed network. I mess around with HAM radio a bit but lack of encryption really limits its use cases. LORA sets do really well for communication in the 1-10 mile radiuses though and you can build meshes with those. The reality is though that you dont want 90% of the sheep masses in your closed network. All they do is wreck shit and complain about how their sensibilities were offended.
