Dear friends, welcome to the new year, 2025! We are excited to present the fourth issue of the magazine ELPiS. The New Year is always a time to reflect on the past and plan for the future. First of all, we would like to wish you a belated happy holiday season, filled with inspiration, joy, and new discoveries in the world of technology that we create and use, without chasing the endless race of updates.
The past year was a milestone for our Web 1.0 hosting platform. We now have over 500 registered sites, and the number keeps growing! This is a small yet significant achievement, made possible by your trust and involvement. Each of you is part of this amazing community that values simplicity, stability, and alternative paths of development.
2024 was a year rich in events. We saw more and more people, tired of the "progress for the sake of progress" concept, return to basics, recognizing that technology should serve humanity, not the other way around. This philosophical shift is evident in various aspects: new alternative browsers that defy mainstream trends are emerging. One notable example is the legendary Dillo browser, which has returned to active development and improvement after years. Many developers are also creating websites compatible with MS-DOS, and ELPiS is no exception. Yes, you can even read us from DOS!
This movement is not just a trend; it’s a philosophy that unites us. We want to express our immense gratitude to everyone dedicated to "downgrading" and who has adhered to this approach over the years. Thanks to your efforts, we see that simple and functional web design can be not only nostalgic but also relevant in today’s world. A big salute to you for this!
Our community on IRC and Telegram has become a true hub of activity. These platforms are not only places for sharing ideas and experiences but also where new projects are born. Over the past year, many fascinating websites have been created, inspiring with their creativity and unconventional approaches. It’s especially heartwarming to see young people joining us—bringing fresh ideas and energy that help our community grow and thrive. This is a great sign that the values we share resonate with new generations.
In 2025, we plan to continue developing our hosting platform and supporting initiatives aimed at preserving and advancing minimalist, functional, and user-friendly technologies. The fourth and future issues of the magazine will be filled with engaging content: from reviews of new (and long-forgotten old) tools to stories from the tech world and tales of people who inspire with their meaningful creations.
We wish you enjoyable reading, new ideas, and inspiration. May this year be one of discoveries and new achievements for you!
Best regards,
ELPiS

The Smallest Hosting in the World: Sector Disk
What I love most about the small net is its wealth of fascinating and unique projects that not only develop and entertain but also provide amazing services—even hosting solutions. While exploring the internet, I stumbled upon this incredible project. It's far from a joke—meet Sector Disk!
Sector Disk is a one-of-a-kind online community where users interact with a real 3.5-inch floppy disk with a capacity of 1.44 MB. Each participant is allocated one or more of the 2880 sectors, each 512 bytes in size, which they can edit and upload data to via SFTP.
Getting Started with the Hosting
Sector Allocation:
Users can request one or more sectors on the disk, each 512 bytes in size. These sectors become their property, allowing them to use them however they wish: post messages, create ASCII art, or share links. Speaking of ASCII art, this topic is incredibly intriguing, but a detailed guide won't fit into this small article—better check out the instructions on the hosting site.
Access:
Once sectors are allocated, users can edit them via a command shell or upload files using SFTP. Tutorials are available for beginners, providing step-by-step instructions on the commands and methods needed to work with sectors.
Data Visualization:
All disk data can be visualized. Special guides are available for creating visual sectors from .png files, enabling users to creatively fill their allocated space.
How to Join?
To become part of the Sector Disk community, simply send an email to join@sectordisk.pw requesting one or more available sectors. An email template is provided in the instructions. After your request is processed, you'll receive access to your sectors and can start editing them.
Why is it Exciting?
Sector Disk brings together retro-technology enthusiasts and offers a unique experience of interacting with a physical storage medium in a digital format. It's not just a tribute to the floppy disk era but also a platform for creativity and idea sharing within the constraints of 512-byte sectors.
If you're passionate about old technologies or looking for an unusual way to express yourself online, Sector Disk offers a unique opportunity to dive into the atmosphere of the early days of computing and join a community of like-minded individuals.
My Experience:
The admin registered me, and I even snagged a beautifully numbered sector: 256. Here's what I came up with:

Musings on Downgrading, Men, and Women
A downgrader man is not just a representative of humanity but an entire philosophy of life. Simplicity and logic are the two pillars holding up his worldview. If something works, why mess with it? This truth accompanies a downgrader man from early childhood, starting from the time he took apart his father’s radio and successfully reassembled it—though with two extra screws left over. Does it work? It does! Then everything is fine.
The downgrader man prefers music that was familiar to him in his twenties. His playlist is a museum of audio history.
“Wait, you’re still listening to cassettes?” his more advanced friend exclaims.
“Why would I switch when these cassettes already have all the best songs?” replies the downgrader as he plays his favorite track on an old tape recorder, which smells of the 90s the way mom’s pies smell of childhood.
His wardrobe is as stable as the pyramids of Egypt. Three t-shirts, two shirts bought for a friend’s wedding ten years ago, and a sweater gifted by his grandmother make up his entire collection. Socks wearing down to resemble fishing nets? That’s a lie! A true downgrader changes socks only when they tear—but not into nets!
“You just need to tear them properly so they can still be used as a shoe rag,” he shares his life hack.
A downgrader man never upgrades his smartphone until the old one turns into an antique. Even then, the upgrade comes only after long, painful deliberation.
“Why would I need a new phone when this one can make calls, send SMS, and I don’t even need the internet?” Though he does use the internet occasionally—to check the weather or read which other phones have become obsolete.
Downgrader women are rare, but they do exist. Their approach is slightly different, though. Unlike men, they sometimes simply grow tired of constant change.
“I’m done dyeing my hair every two months—I’ll go natural!” she declares, though six months later decides natural blonde isn’t her thing. Women crave change, even minimal ones. One nail polish color gives way to another, hairstyles are adjusted, and dress styles evolve. But the downgrader woman stays within her comfort zone. Stability is key.
A downgrader man doesn’t understand why you’d buy new furniture if the old one still stands. Yes, the stool wobbles, but that’s a matter of habit. You just need to sit on it properly, and everything will be fine.
“Did you fix it yet?” his wife asks.
“Why bother? It works!” he proudly replies, taking a seat on his engineering marvel.
Modern fashion, music, art, literature—it’s all made up.
“People just do this for popularity nowadays,” he laments, refusing to watch the latest blockbuster.
“I’d rather rewatch an old Van Damme movie.”
Technical progress is also an excess.
“Boosting power to consume more power? Why?” he asks, calmly launching Windows XP, convinced it will serve him well for another decade.
“I’m not a vlogger,” he justifies while sitting at his computer, which hums like a tractor.
The downgrader man often surprises his friends.
“You’re seriously still wearing those boots? They’re ancient!” one of them asks.
“Why would I need new ones if these work?” he replies, proudly showing off boots that have become part of his identity.
Women sometimes smile at the downgrader.
“How can you live like this? Everything you have is outdated!” his friend remarks. But then she realizes that behind this simplicity lies a unique life philosophy.
“You’re right—you can achieve a lot with so little,” she agrees, taking in his cozy yet slightly antique home.
A downgrader man isn’t just a type—he’s a philosopher. He values what works, respects stability, and doesn’t chase trends. And he knows how to find joy in the small things, which makes him happy. After all, as he himself says:
“If it works, don’t touch it!”
Design is a Tricky Thing
Design is a tricky thing. There are no laws here—never were, never will be. It’s not mathematics, where two plus two equals four, and not physics, where an apple falls down, not up. In design, if you want the apple to fall upward, go ahead and draw it. No one’s stopping you.
Of course, there are tips, recommendations, life wisdom, and even lists like "10 Mistakes to Avoid" or "7 Golden Rules." But laws? They’ve never been stocked. Imagine if design were a science. Then you could declare: “This is right, and this is wrong, and no exceptions.” But design is more like chess in sports. You can debate and argue, but there will always be someone who moves their knight in an unconventional way and still wins the game.
In truth, the only thing worth discussing in design is limitations. Take alcohol ads, for example. You won’t see tipsy guys sprawled under benches. Mobile carriers aren’t likely to celebrate their customers’ joy at seeing “No Service” on their screens. But imagine this: a man sits at a bar, no signal, and he peacefully enjoys a drink or two. Or hobos chatting away on cheap rates from under a bench. Why not?
Any rule can be bent. For instance, it’s commonly believed that a single font should be used per layout. But that’s nonsense, of course. One font? Fine, but at least mix up the weights! Better yet, add two or three different fonts—and voilà, it’s beautiful. Granted, cramming nine weights from seven families onto one page might look… unusual. But to each their own. If it’s a magazine about contemporary art, it might even look stylish. Just not in an accounting report, please.
Sometimes designers hear “golden” rules from clients. For example:
“Serif fonts are easier to read.”
“Colors should be soft and muted.”
“No more than seven elements per page, or the brain will explode!”
So what? There’s no shortage of such rules, but their applicability is another matter entirely.
Take, for instance, the claim: “You shouldn’t use default Photoshop filters.” Says who? Designers are human too; sometimes they just want to relax. Or: “Frames on a website are evil!” Really? But what if you really want to use them?
The funniest one is the claim that horizontal scrolling is a crime. Sure, it’s inconvenient. But if the idea calls for it, let it scroll. And should a logo always be in the bottom right corner? Maybe, but sometimes it’s fun to stick it somewhere unexpected, just to make everyone gasp.
Design is art. And art loves freedom. So don’t worry if you’re breaking the rules. What matters most is that you like the result. As for laws? There are none. Never were, never will be!
BROWZAAAAA!! )))
As a big fan of optimized software, I highly recommend it!
Recently, I came across this cool, super-lightweight browser (technically a shell over Internet Explorer, but it works as a standalone browser). It takes up minimal space, supports multiple windows (a key feature), and is incredibly compact. Its compactness is what I love most—it’s perfect for devices with limited disk space. Plus, it runs on everything from Windows 98 to XP to 10—truly a “one-size-fits-all” solution.
Now for some details:
Browzar is a 215 KB browser designed for safe and anonymous web browsing. It was created to allow users to browse the internet on public computers without leaving traces of their activity.
Browzar features a minimalist interface and requires no installation. It runs directly from an executable file and is compatible with Windows 10 / 8.1 / 8 / 7 / XP / Server 2003 / 2000 / NT4 / 98 SE / ME.
Key Features of Browzar:
- Anonymity: It doesn’t save browsing history, cache, or cookies.
- Security: Blocks pop-ups and some malicious websites.
- Ease of Use: Its interface is simple and intuitive.
However, despite its advantages, Browzar hasn’t gained widespread popularity and hasn’t been updated since 2008.
You can download the latest version from the official website at browzar.com.
Design Options:
There are three versions available for download, differing only in design: black, silver, and Windows-themed.
What’s it for?
If you think this browser will make you “invisible” on the internet, you’re mistaken. Browzar is designed to prevent others from seeing which websites you’ve visited. It’s particularly useful when sharing a computer with others, like at work, in internet cafes, computer clubs, a friend’s house, school, or university.
Some might ask, “What about private browsing in other browsers like Opera or Firefox?” While they also don’t save cache or history, many browsers still maintain a system cache that isn’t easily cleared. Browzar clears everything. It can even delete itself!
Speed and Reliability
Browzar works very quickly, loading both itself and web pages in no time. This speed comes from its stripped-down design—most additional features have been removed. Despite this, it’s stable and rarely crashes, even though it’s based on Internet Explorer. The developers humorously acknowledge on their website:
“Love it or hate it: that's just the way it is.”
User Stories:
On the official site, you’ll find amusing anecdotes about the importance of clearing browsing history. Here are a few:
-
“Once, I was installing a game on my friend’s computer. While he was in the bathroom, I looked at his browser history out of curiosity. I found links to adult dating sites. When I teased him about it, he didn’t know what I was talking about. Turns out, those sites had been visited by his mom!”
-
“I was playing with autofill on my wife’s computer and saw searches like: ‘Hitler,’ ‘Nazis,’ ‘Blitzkrieg,’ ‘Wehrmacht,’ and ‘Nazi rally.’ Thankfully, she’s a historian, or I’d have been really worried.”
-
“A cable guy was fixing the internet at my friend’s house. After the fix, he launched Internet Explorer to test it and saw a site with naked men. My friend turned bright red and stammered, ‘It’s my girlfriend’s computer.’ The cable guy smiled and said, ‘Sure, buddy.’”
Limitations:
Browzar isn’t ideal for everyday browsing. You’ll need to re-enter passwords and search for websites each time, as it doesn’t support bookmarks. It’s best suited for use on a USB drive for quick, anonymous browsing away from home. If you don’t need total anonymity, other browsers with private modes offer better functionality.
Early versions of Browzar only performed surface-level file deletions. Modern versions offer thorough cleanup but take about 5 seconds. It also features a Boss Key, which instantly hides the browser and its cleanup process in an emergency.
Final Thoughts:
Browzar is lightweight, fast, and great for anonymity. However, it’s inconvenient for regular use due to the lack of saved passwords and bookmarks. If you’re a spy, this is your browser! For everyone else, a more fully-featured browser might be a better choice.
Like, Like, Like — From Surfbook to Courtrooms
It all began when I once "liked" a post by an old classmate, proudly showcasing a salad made of meat and vegetables. My hand hovered over the button almost instinctively, as if it was a hardwired subconscious response. Little did I know that this seemingly trivial act would open up a world of revelations — and no, I’m not talking about salads.
I later wondered: where did likes even come from? Why is the internet brimming with them, yet in real life, even a simple nod of approval feels like an adventure? My curiosity drove me to dig deeper, and as a true retro-internet fan, I stumbled upon a little-known fact: the "Like" button wasn’t invented by Mark Zuckerberg, as many believe, but by a Dutch programmer named Van der Meer back in 1998.
This visionary created a network called “Surfbook” — a digital oasis for those wanting to give a virtual wink. Surfbook functioned as a precursor to Facebook, complete with posts, comments, and the now-iconic "like." Of course, in 1998, no one spiraled into depression over a lack of hearts on cat pictures, but the foundation was laid. Van der Meer is a hero of our time, even if he remains largely forgotten.
The Like That Became More Than a Like
I grew up in an era where "like" wasn’t a button but a nod of approval or a friendly pat on the shoulder. I remember a friend showing me his shiny new green bicycle with a bell. I didn’t say anything, just smiled and nodded. That was my "like."
But now? Imagine someone in real life approving your new post — literally! You're eating pizza at a café, and someone walks up, gives you a thumbs-up, and silently walks away. Weird? But liking a pizza photo online seems normal. Go figure what’s more real.
What Is a Like for Social Media?
See a cat eating a banana? Like. Spot a philosophical quote about life? Like. An old friend posts vacation photos from the Maldives while you’re stuck in an office with a meatball? Like, out of politeness. For social media, a like is a content engine. It signals what grabs the audience and prompts algorithms to push those posts further. The more likes, the wider the reach.
It’s like polling your friends: “How do you like my café photo?” Get 200 hearts, and you’ve justified your thinker’s pose with a coffee cup. But there’s a darker side: social media has turned likes into a digital drug. The more you get, the more you crave.
If Surfbook Had Thrived...
If Surfbook had taken off and we’d all used it since the late '90s, likes might’ve transcended the internet by now. Imagine real-life "like remotes." Click a button in your pocket, and your neighbor, who finally moved his car off your lawn, gets virtual approval. Or likes via infrared! Just point your phone at a friend to say, "You’re awesome, here’s a like."
But back to the harsh reality of 2025...
When a Like Goes Wrong
I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a moment when one like almost caused a social disaster. Foolishly, I liked an old photo of an ex at 3 a.m. This act in the online world is the equivalent of knocking on her door in the dead of night and saying, “Hi, just reminiscing over your old photos. How’s life?”
In the digital age, a like is an indicator. Click it? You’ve seen it. Seen it? You’ve thought about it. And what you thought, no one cares. Even an accidental finger swipe can become evidence of intent.
It gets worse. A friend once liked a questionable meme. Let’s say the meme wasn’t exactly law-abiding. Days later, he found a message from the platform’s admin suggesting he review the country’s laws. In some places, likes can indeed lead to fines or even jail time.
Take Switzerland, for example. A man liked a defamatory comment, and the court fined him, reasoning that "liking" equates to agreement. Some Eastern European countries arrest people for endorsing banned content. If you come across a suspicious post, think twice before hitting "like."
Like Addiction and Its Side Effects
When I first heard about like addiction, I laughed. But then I noticed my own behavior. I’d post something and refresh the page hourly. One like. Two. Five. Pause. Pause! Why no more likes? That’s when I realized something was off.
Like addiction is like a digital lottery. You post content and wait for validation. Get many likes — euphoria. Get few? Day ruined. I remember a friend deleting a vacation post after it got just seven likes. “It flopped,” she said, as if it were a failed project, not her holiday.
Final Thoughts: The Like Phenomenon
Today, a like is no longer just a button. It’s a digital gesture that can sometimes say more than words. It’s social glue, a manipulation tool, and a means of self-expression. Some see it as recognition, others as a trap for self-esteem, and some even manage to get into trouble over it.
I’ve decided: like, but carefully. Sometimes, as in real life, it’s better to say something personally or stay silent than press a button that triggers a chain of unpredictable events.
And yes, if you’ve read this far, consider this my mental like to you. Just not at 3 a.m. )))
From Likes to Courtrooms
If you think getting jailed for a "like" sounds like a Hollywood comedy plot, you’re mistaken. Such cases happen in real life, and some are anything but funny.
One notable example occurred in Russia in 2015. A young man from Tyumen was convicted for liking a social media post with extremist statements. The court saw his like as endorsement and dissemination of banned content, handing him a suspended sentence. It wasn’t a prison term, but it showed that the “like” button isn’t always innocent.
Fines are also common.
In Switzerland in 2017, a man was fined 4,000 francs for liking a comment deemed defamatory. The Swiss court decided that a like was not just a sign of attention but an endorsement, holding the user accountable for their "digital actions."
In Turkey, users are frequently penalized for likes supporting banned political groups. One absurd case saw a student get a two-year suspended sentence for liking a caricature of a political leader. One click, and suddenly you’re facing a prosecutor flipping through screenshots.
These examples highlight how actions on social media can have serious legal consequences worldwide.
Secrets and Tricks: Website Navigation with JS
Navigating through the pages of a magazine, you might have noticed a design element that indicates (white on blue) the current page you are on. In this guide, I’ll show you how to create a line that displays the current page the user is on:
CSS
.blinking-cursor {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 1em;
color: #ffffff; /* Cursor color */
background-color: #693AEA; /* Background color for the cursor */
font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
animation: blink 1s step-end infinite;
}
@keyframes blink {
from, to {
visibility: hidden;
}
50% {
visibility: visible;
}
}
JavaScript
<script>
(function() {
function updateCurrentPage() {
var currentPage = window.location.pathname;
var lastSegment = currentPage.substring(currentPage.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
var lastSegmentWithoutExtension = lastSegment.split('.')[0];
var decodedSegment;
if (window.decodeURIComponent) {
decodedSegment = decodeURIComponent(lastSegmentWithoutExtension);
} else {
decodedSegment = unescape(lastSegmentWithoutExtension);
}
var upperCaseSegment = decodedSegment.toUpperCase();
var formattedSegment = 'C:\\>' + upperCaseSegment;
document.getElementById('current-page').innerHTML =
formattedSegment + '<span class="blinking-cursor">_</span>';
}
if (document.addEventListener) {
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', updateCurrentPage);
} else if (document.attachEvent) {
document.attachEvent('onreadystatechange', function() {
if (document.readyState === 'complete') {
updateCurrentPage();
}
});
} else {
window.onload = updateCurrentPage;
}
})();
</script>
This script prepends C:\> to the page name, so on the page, it will appear as:
C:>PAGE_NAME_
HTML
Add the following to the desired place in your HTML:
<div id="current-page"></div>
That’s the complete recipe. Use it as needed!
Why Memes Didn’t Exist in the Early Internet and How They Conquered the Web
The internet, as we know it today, is overflowing with memes. They have become an integral part of communication, culture, and entertainment. However, in the early days of the internet, memes as we understand them today were almost nonexistent. The question, "Why weren’t there memes in the early internet?" opens up an interesting discussion about how internet culture evolved and why memes became so popular later on. To understand this, we need to delve into the history, technology, and the very concept of a "meme."
The internet of the 1990s and early 2000s was vastly different from what we see today. It was an era of text-based forums, long emails, and painfully slow 9600 baud modem connections. Back then, the internet was far from universal, and creating content required technical skills, including basic HTML. Most interactions took place on Usenet and forums, where people shared information and engaged in discussions.
The majority of early internet content was text-based. Limited bandwidth and low-quality graphics made sharing images a challenge. Only the most dedicated users would attempt to upload a picture, and animations, as we know them today, were a rarity. The focus was on textual information, and there was no "interactivity" in the way we experience it now.
The term "meme" predates the internet by decades. It was introduced by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene. Dawkins described memes as units of cultural information that spread among people, much like genes are passed from one generation to another. Memes could encompass ideas, customs, trends, or behaviors, essentially describing cultural evolution.
The first internet memes emerged as short phrases, quotes, or concepts that spread quickly through forums and early online communities. However, these lacked the visual aspect that characterizes modern memes. One early example is "Godwin's Law", a humorous observation stating that as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison to Hitler or Nazis approaches 100%.
One major reason why memes, in their modern form, didn’t exist in the early internet lies in technical constraints. Graphics, images, and especially videos were too resource-heavy for the slow internet speeds of the time. Even if someone wanted to share a picture, it could take minutes or even hours to upload or download. As a result, users favored sharing text-based jokes and ideas.
The first steps toward visual memes began with ASCII art, an art form created using characters and symbols. Users could craft simple drawings with text, such as smiley faces :) or more elaborate designs. While this hinted at visual memes, it wasn’t the breakthrough that made memes what they are today.
The turning point for internet history came with the advent of broadband connections. Faster speeds allowed users to share images and videos much more efficiently, laying the groundwork for today’s meme culture. Around the same time, social networks like MySpace, Facebook, and later Reddit and Tumblr began gaining popularity.
One of the earliest widely shared memes was Dancing Baby, a crude 3D animation of a baby dancing, which debuted in 1996. This animation quickly spread across the internet and even appeared on TV, symbolizing the potential of memes for rapid dissemination.
With the rise of platforms like 4chan and 9gag, the meme era truly began. Users could easily create and share images, remix content, and add their own jokes and commentary. Visual memes took off, becoming short, impactful ideas that spread at lightning speed online.
Memes became cultural markers in the online world, a way to express shared interests, experiences, or humor. Like ideas, memes evolve: they mutate and take on new forms and meanings as they are shared and reshaped.
Modern memes heavily rely on visual elements: images, GIFs, and short videos that are easy to understand and share. This sets them apart from early internet memes, which required more contextual understanding and a focus on text.
Today, memes are more than just entertainment. They have become a crucial tool for political, social, and cultural communication. Memes can convey complex ideas in a concise way, making them accessible to a broad audience. They can spread important social messages and even influence public opinion.
Modern memes are far more diverse and layered. They incorporate references to pop culture, humorous tropes, and even philosophical musings. Thanks to platforms like Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok, memes spread faster than ever before.
The transition from text to images, and eventually to visual memes, is a natural progression in the evolution of internet culture. Memes did exist in the early internet, but they were limited by the technology of the time. It wasn’t until the advent of fast internet and user-friendly platforms that visual memes fully emerged and became what they are today.
The internet has always been a space for creativity and innovation, and memes are just one example of how people adapt new technologies for communication. Memes continue to evolve, and who knows what they’ll look like in the future as technology takes another leap forward.
EPILOGUE
So, memes have conquered the internet, technology has fueled their evolution, and humanity, in turn, carries them forward like the Olympic torch. That’s all well and good, but there’s an ironic moral to this race.
"Run as fast as you can!" — says the modern world of technology. But if you really listen, it becomes clear: there’s no need to run at all. All of this evolves independently of our efforts to catch up with the “new.” And by the time you finally ride the crest of the wave, the technology is already fading into the sunset, replaced by something faster, shinier, and supposedly more important.
We rush after progress like a rabbit chasing a carrot, forgetting that sometimes it’s better to just stop and enjoy what’s already there. Because, if you think about it, what truly matters is the content that, even decades ago, delighted internet users with its simplicity and charm.
So let the world of technology race ahead, but don’t forget to take a breath and realize that life can be wonderful without chasing the latest trend. Especially if you can just open an old forum, smile at some old jokes, and allow yourself not to run. Because, in the end, what matters most is what’s happening here and now — not how fast it’s loading.
