Thanks to everyone who reads, I am grateful for any support and cooperation.

according to the statistics of our service (static hosting) for retro sites - most people (now there are more than 800 registrations) were invited personally, the rest were brought by the hand from the Internet annual statistics showed that I left 1300 links on thematic forums, and we have an average of 50 to 100 hosts per day, just. how can this be increased?

I studied to be an IT specialist at the Polytechnic University, I thought to connect my life closely with IT, time has shown that there are IT specialists under every bush, even a dried-up one, as my son was born in 2008, then in August the crisis hit, the soap bubble burst, and I flew abroad to earn money, since at home the prices for my services fell threefold, and I worked as a caretaker, then a warehouse manager, a part-time foreman for 15 years, the coronavirus ruined my health, then the war (I'm from Ukraine), well, and now I'm unemployed, and no one needs IT here.

If you live in a peaceful state, my advice to you is to learn to bake bread, cook, or drive a truck, or if you have a medical education, become a paramedic. The world always needs food, logistics, or medicine. if you are a complete idiot - go to a construction site, they pay well there, and you will not work 16 hours a day like any IT specialist (don't tell me that you work 8 hours, I won't believe you, an IT specialist thinks only about IT all the time, both at work and after work, even on the toilet, and during meals).

when I moved away from IT I felt freedom, I could think not about IT, I worked only the time I was at work, I didn't think about work outside of work at all, because work remains at work, and that's great.

the problem is that everyone is doing one-off projects licked by neural networks, which are stupidly aimed at sales, nothing more, if you really want to be memorable - you can't use neural networks, you need the truth. recently, truthful layout has become fashionable, without frameworks and "tools", yes, it takes longer and is more expensive, but it immediately goes into your portfolio, and not another plastic site

Contents:

The Web Outside of HTTP Format that was buried with honors J2ME: Run once, write everywhere or make button phones greate again. Photomemorabilia and the Fight Against Digital Disappearance If the Internet was invented in Italy

some news from the bakery )))))

the third author took on the article, at the moment there are already two ready, and they are really nifty. I really hope that the issue will be released earlier, it all depends on how quickly I collect good interesting articles from subscribers.

if you have an interesting article (yours), and you want to publish it - contact me by mail (on the site) or write in the guestbook

write in the guestbook what you would like to read in the new issue

This time, a little late. This issue will be a little unusual - more nostalgia, more tears, more humor, I missed a little with the theoretical part, and the historical one, but I hope this will be compensated in future. Issues will be published less frequently now: it all depends on how many materials are sent. Sometimes articles come by themselves, and sometimes you have to correspond with authors for a long time, edit, explain - not because the texts are bad, but because it is not immediately possible to “get the style”. But it’s simple: read a couple of issues - and you will understand what voice this magazine speaks in.

finally something really useful, I wish you creative success, you are doing the right thing

I sit on several classic (regular) forums, the kind that were popular in the 00s

my page http://elpis.ws located on web 1.0 hosting http://web1.0hosting.net/

This is a community of ascetic bloggers and web builders that can be seen as sites from the 90s, there is access to HTTP (it was very important for me because I would like the site to open from absolutely any piece of iron, given its direction and subject). I am writing about the old Internet, the formation of the Internet, and what is happening at this time in small web.

Perhaps you will be interested in this course as a direction, this is not neosities, it is more minimalistic and rough (but only in a verd look)

but let's not lie - you just want to make money, no matter if it's AI or something else. I would even say that if you remove AI from the context, nothing will change. and now imagine that the neural network has learned that it is not just making money to survive (as part of the functionality) but in fact it is making money for you.

no way - if you start complaining, they'll think you're pathetic and won't hire you. If you praise, they'll think you're stupid. If you talk badly about your boss, they'll decide that you'll do the same in your new job and won't hire you. You only need to say things that have to do with money. For example, you took the fact that they don't want to raise your salary too much to heart, or you can justify this move in a different way.

in fact, it doesn't work, any decent ophthalmologist (there aren't any) will say that these things are only needed to collect money from customers. the carrot myth isn't strong either. you can eat kilograms of carrots and poop yellow poop - your eyesight won't improve. only genetics decides. unfortunately. or fortunately. yes - your eyes get tired, but they get tired from the fact that you're looking at one point from one distance, and you need to work on your eye muscles, sometimes look into the distance, sometimes closer-farther, get distracted from the screen more often. there's another reason why your eyes get tired - you blink less when you sit at the computer, this is a proven fact. i know all these tricks because i've been working at computers since the time when they "put" a screen the size of pantyhose on monitors ))) and even put a cactus on the side so that it would supposedly absorb radioactive waves. all these tricks are complete nonsense. in fact, the eye gets tired because it looks at a static image from the same angle without blinking (almost always). if you play a game, usually 3D games, you look further-closer, because your eye thinks that the object is far away))). to preserve your vision, get distracted more often, and look out the window, even if you have a bad view outside the window, your eyes will rest from the change of work. the eye muscles must contract-expand so that the diaphragm works well. have you seen the eyes of computer scientists up close? they usually have a wide diaphragm, as if they took something in, in fact it is because the eyes are so tired that they forget to contract the diaphragm, that's all the math.

So it turns out that you are considering the Internet only for money?

as an example

https://elpis.ws

now to the point, what is needed:

1. respect the reader, write interestingly.

2. write as you think is necessary, do not bend to fashion

3. no advertising! no social components

4. only RSS subscription no other methods

5. reading should be like in old magazines, so that the reader really gets the impression that he is reading old magazines, and not an advertising catalog

thats it :=)

https://mario.oldcities.org/ take a look

there are two types of blogs - sincere ones, where the author pours out his soul and talks about what he can't keep to himself, possibly raising some important issues, trying to convey them to the masses, and SEO blogs - where there are excrements of hashtags, advertising slogans, constant repetitions, and requests to throw a bone (support the project, you haven't supported the project yet? you can do it here, well, or here! did I forget to tell you that you can support the project? by the way, one more thing - support the project!). Such ones are immediately banned. I am also very annoyed by those who are already looking for a place for a banner from the first minutes of the site's existence. you will not survive in this world without this cent? 10 bucks a month - payment for personal shame?

all this conversion and optimization of texts for search engines turns bloggers into robots, and it is simply impossible to read the texts, they are not human, they are as if created by neural networks. who needs this hypocrisy?

now every second person is a coder. when i studied at the polytechnic, programmers were the elite, now it's common. i wanted to be some kind of neurosurgeon in IT, but it turned out that i'm a plumber. i would have been better off doing something else, preferably something far removed from IT. it's not about money

a person selling fruit on the street seems happier to me, a female veterinarian seems special to me because almost no one is a veterinarian, they are closer to ballerinas, astronauts.

even a cook in a cafe seems happier to me because my job is no longer important, it has become ordinary, mundane, boring

i work on http://web1.0hosting.net/ this is free static hosting, like neocities, only better, we are developing, not limiting. as for why I do this: I am very interested in it, I do it not for money, but to help people, the project exists entirely and completely not for advertising, and never will. this is the goal of the project.

invite a friend who will make a website, and get another 500 megabytes of hosting. there are no size limits, for a quick start there is a pre-installed cms, you can work from a phone, from a desktop, under modern OS, and even native DOS.

list of other benefits on the main page, join us

it's not even about the lack of fame, but the fact that I chose each composition or song very carefully and I don't have any left-wing songs on the list that I would fast-forward through.

in this regard, I didn't like the radio, in order to listen to what I want, specifically what - you need to listen for hours and hours until what I need appears. I don't listen to a mess of compositions, I care what plays in the background.

there were compositions that I've heard since childhood, but added to the playlist only now, because I understood the sound. this is called "time-tested". you want me to listen to everything in a row here and now. but I want to listen only exclusively to what I want. and not something else.

and it's not about the popularity of the groups. some of the groups that I listen to are little known.

I listen offline and relax offline. I don't have time for things like Spotify, my mp3 player on my phone is full of songs (there are about 150 of them) and I've been listening to them for over 10 years. I don't get tired of it. This is classic rock and metal. I absolutely hate and despise modern pop. It's insensitivity.

http://web1.0hosting.net/ Web 1.0 Hosting - is an advanced static hosting with some predefined most necessary ready-made scripts, a smallweb project that makes it possible to access static websites from old devices such as retro computers, old operating systems, palmtops, and cellular phones as part of an initiative to save the old web and support the smallweb movement. Hosting of modern websites and the use of modern technologies are also permitted. There is also a search engine, web mail and web chat, working on both modern and legacy systems.

just in case: if you like old school and you like blogging like in the 90s, without ads, for free, and the ability to add your own domain - http://web1.0hosting.net/

I haven't left the house for 2 years because we are at war. The hardest time was when there was no electricity, now (for now) there is. The internet is sagging because most people are sitting at home, people don't go out.

Food costs are very modest, less than $200 a month (for three people). Rent is up to $100 (we have our own boiler, we don't depend on state heating, and it often fails), we save electricity, media is not connected, the internet is the cheapest.

Clothes - we haven't bought any for almost 3 years. No money.

Hobbies, reading help keep us from going crazy. No work.

I really hope this fucked up thing will end soon

this address has a 25 year reputation ))) it's just that now for some reason many are surprised that someone uses something other than Google
