How do you pronounce "Deven"?

TLS? But I still browse this site with Internet Explorer 1!

-It depends. -I have the katakana translation of my name on the site index. -This says my name is pronounced "DEH vin", which isn't really correct. -It's actually "DEH vehn", which is distinct from the name "Devin". -In practice you're probably better off just saying "DEH vin", which is what I do. -

-

-No, my parents did not curse me with some ungodly unique name; I got it changed (legally) from what it once was long ago. -Send guesses as to my birth-name on a postcard: 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVE; WASHINGTON, DC 20500. -

What happened to the two-column layout of the site?

-

Columning on /index.html happened on 2020-10-21 with site commit f36a3215a8bbd0ae9f6b83c9c2b58eabf826a2b7 and was removed on 2021-05-03 with site commit d98a2203895fc3817894b2d99ada84a777b22212.

The issue was that on any modern mobile devices I used (Safari on iOS late 13.x to 14.2 and some privacy-friendly fork of Firefox for Android later) the columns would look weird due to scaling, and on most browsers I really care about supporting (Lynx, Mothra on plan9front, and NCSA Mosaic) the HTML table wouldn't even be rendered. When I tested it it only looked good on graphics-focused desktop web browsers and honestly I would rather have the site be displayed consistently on all devices than have it look pretty. So it bothered me for a while until I got rid of it.

What phone is that?

-

-I use a Unihertz Titan, which is a phone that resembles a Blackberry but is much thicker and has a really high-capacity battery. -I do not recommend it. -Unihertz won't release their modified Linux kernel (which is a violation of the GPL2) and alternative ROMs suffer for it. +All bad things must come to an end. +Sourchut Pages forces TLS. +It's not my choice but it's an alright one and I'm happy to be on a platform whose principles are ones with which I can agree.

-I also have a Pinephone, which I'd like to use as my daily carry but the currently-available software is so buggy I just can't. -So far I've tried PostmarketOS with sxmo and Phosh, and the Manjaro with Plasma Mobile with which the phone came. -All were unnacceptably buggy but have very exciting potential. -

-

-You may have also seen me out and about with an iPhone SE (2016), which I used for a year or so, and which I also don't recommend. -iOS is more of a toy than a tool and always seemed like it was discouraging me from creating anything with it. -

-

-The jailbreak scene is also obnoxiously awful, filled with equal parts anti-piracy pro-proprietary Apple fanboys and script-kiddie pro-proprietary Microsoft lamers. -They will work to prevent the copying and redistribution of modular iOS mods and charge money for even the most basic homebrew apps. -Seriously, the iOS jailbreak community is the worst development community I've ever seen. I think 4chan/pol/ is more civil. -That I've seen, the only value to iOS devices is their camera, and I'll probably end up going the Stanley Leiber route and just use my SE as a very shiny photograph tool. -
