I've noticed in recent years that more and more apps only offer "small, medium, large" font size settings. My problem is simple. I am visually impaired and need VERY large fonts.

I need my font size set like this:

But instead, with more and more apps like Ivory for example, the biggest I can get is this:

I suspect that the culprit may be Swift UI, but I have no evidence for this.

Does anyone understand the reasoning behind this trend, and is there any possible fix for end users other than begging application developers to have pity? :)

Thanks!

So, years ago I tried PGP/GPG and put my key up on the public keyservers.

And then promptly lost the private key data. Lather, rinse, repeat, and now there are like 5 old GPG/PGP identities for me up there that are gone forever and can't be revoked.

So, it's 2024, and I think "I have a NAS I do regular backups and test restores on. Surely I can keep my private key data safe and secure now".

So I get GPG going, create my keys, and then, not knowing any better? copy my entire $HOME/.gnupg directory to my NAS.

The goal here is for me to be able to use the same private key across all the machines I use. There are several.

But when I copy down that directory, GPG refuses to "see" it. gpg --list-secret-keys prints - Nothing.

1. Is there a better way to keep my key in sync across all my machines? I'd rather not use keybase if possible, they give me the willies after tainting themselves with cryptocurrency and being bought.
2. Assuming there isn't, what am I doing wrong with my ~/.gnupg directory?

Thanks in advance!

I created it!

Looking forward to seeing folks online!

This morning for some reason I was thinking about one of my very favorite games from the Sony PS-2 era: Fantavision.

This represents one of my very favorite kinds of game - cool graphics, interesting and different mechanics and gameplay you can relax to.

So for the halibut I searched on Steam and found that there's a remake!

Fantavision 202X.

I know it's unlikely but has anybody played this? I've totally exhausted my game buying budget for the nonce between the Winter Sale and a couple I bought afterwards, but this is definitely on my wishlist :)

Hi all!

A ways back when I first got my Fujinet and had recently bought my Atari 800XL after ~40 years out of the 8 bit game, I had a thought: Wouldn't it be cool if I could access ALL the Atari 8 bit software the Internet Archive had in its collection right from my Fujinet?

This this project was born :) It's just a tiny Python program that downloads all Atari 8 bit related software running on a Digital Ocean instance that also runs Fujinet's tnfsd.

The software's organization mirrors The Internet Archives, so it can be a bit unwieldy to navigate.

I'd love suggestions on how I could improve this in a programmatic way from my Python script that does the downloading.

You can find the project on Github here.

And if you want to browse direct from your Fujinet, just point it at omnia.feoh.org

Thanks and have fun!
