Reminds me of a recent pondering of mine… there used to be all these “powered by Apache”, “powered by PHP” buttons that were very similar to the type of buttons in the site here. But they were vertically shorter, and you often saw them used as a block to let people know some stuff about the website, sort of like “User bars” (think that’s the right search term) for stuff in a forum signature. But despite having at some point bookmarked a similar site/page that had hundreds of these little images… age and link rot and fragile bookmark services of old have long since lost the link , and now I don’t even remember what to search for to even find such little images, there was at least a few generally accepted nouns for them … perhaps the collective HN wisdom remembers these little images and can help me find them or just want to share more early internet stories about these kinds of images.
