I’m only in my 40’s, I don’t require glasses (yet) and I have to actively squint to read your site on mobile. Safari, iPhone.
I’m pretty sure you’re under the permitted contrast levels under WCAG.
- ctrl-shift-. to show hidden files on macOS - pull down to see search box (iOS 18) - swipe from top right corner for flashlight button - swipe up from lower middle for home screen
Etc, etc
Use this command in the developer tools console to change the color.
.default { font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color:#828282; }
.admin { font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size:8.5pt; color:#000000; }
.title { font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color:#828282; overflow:hidden; }
.subtext { font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 7pt; color:#828282; }
.yclinks { font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 8pt; color:#828282; }
.pagetop { font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color:#222222; line-height:12px; }
.comhead { font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 8pt; color:#828282; }
.comment { font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; }For desktop browsers, I also have a bookmarklet on the bookmarks bar with the following Javascript:
javascript: document.querySelectorAll('p, td, tr, ul, ol').forEach(elem => {elem.style.color = '#000'})
It doesn't darken the text on every webpage but it does work on this thread's article. (The Javascript code can probably be enhanced with more HTML heuristics to work on more webpages.) {elem.style.color = '#000 !important'}Is this maybe a pixel density of iphone issue?
I wouldn't mind a darker and higher weight font though.
One day try throwing a pair on you'll be surprised. The small thin font is causing this not the text contrast. This and low light scenarios are the first things to go.
Whatever causes it, I do wear glasses (and on a recent prescription too) and the text is still very hard to read.
As for mentioning WCAG - so what if it doesn’t adhere to those guidelines? It’s his personal website, he can do what he wants with it. Telling him you found it difficult to read properly is one thing but referencing WCAG as if this guy is bound somehow to modify his own aesthetic preference for generic accessibility reasons is laughable. Part of what continues to make the web good is differing personal tastes and unique website designs - it is stifling and monotonous to see the same looking shit on every site and it isn’t like there aren’t tools (like reader mode) for people who dislike another’s personal taste.
Firefox users: press F9 or C-A-R
What is it supposed to do?
There is no mention of F9 on this support page either:

Am I missing something?
It almost seems like they’re taking it personally as some kind of intentionally slight against them.
Most users would not want Backblaze to back up other cloud synced directories. This default is sensible.
Any addition to the exclusions list that wasn't added by explicit user action is a hidden change and a data loss bug.
You all skipped the most important part: 3, 2, 1 backup rule.
Basically, you all were using Backblaze as a centered backup system, what do you think it was going to happen???
You do not backup data and call it a day, you must have a process in place to go there and check random files and folders for corruption. This process would have warned you that the sync was not 1:1
The thing to empathize here is those who purchased these retail Backblaze plans fell into two buckets:
1. The technically savvy who were following the industry standard 3, 2, 1 backup rule, arbitraging the "unlimited" plan, waiting for the game to be over.
2. The technically unsavvy who believed in the "unlimited" plan
My bet is that 2 is screwed and that's majority of the users of this specific Backblaze plan.
This is likely to have rippling effects on Backblaze including their unrelated, object store plans. When there are choices available, people don't appreciate being ripped off and right now, there are a lot of choices in object stores.
I never tried this particular Backblaze product because I don't trust a opaque blob touching my most valuable data nor do I trust unlimited plans that dont mention what the limits are, atleast in fine print.
