In all seriousness though, the core of the technical stack has become very robust in my opinion (DNS being the exception). From a hobbyist's perspective, things work much better than when the Web was still young. I can run multiple sites (some of them being what are today called apps) on a domain with subdomains, everything fast, HTTP3-capable, secured via valid free TLS certs, reverse proxied, all of that running on a system deployed in minutes...
If you focus on the part of the Internet that you have control over, it's a lot better than back in the simple days.
Usenet is still in use btw. And so is Nostr.
