You know, this is exactly how the internet works, today. You can do it if you want. You will find that you're gonna have to spend some (some would say a lot of) time to amass enough knowledge to become self-sufficient. But there's no big technical issue, there only is a mindset issue. Do you actually want to spend the time, face downtimes and low speeds that having a real internet would incur, or do you want to remain in your comfy walled garden ?
I'm sure what you really meant was "It's time to decentralize the services we use".
> We put a man on the moon
"We" as in "The government and countless private contractors, all with an unlimited budget", not as in "We the people". The centralization you see today is just the same thing.
