An Analysis Of The XZ Malware Injection Process
If you’re in tech and not in a coma, you will have at least heard of the recent attempt to inject malware through the xz (de)compression utility. The technical press, as is its wont, has been blasting the story all … Continue reading
A Deep Dive On Registers
Arialdo Martini is back with a very informative post about using registers to store buffer locations and other data. He starts with positing the need to store buffer locations by name rather than storing them in a ring buffer as … Continue reading
Writing With Emacs
This post is about another of my browsers tabs that I’ve had open seemingly forever. It’s a curated list of resources for writing with Emacs. As such, it’s a nice coda to my previous post on Emacs writing workflows. It’s … Continue reading
An Emacs Writing Workflow
I’ve written before about Peter Prevos and his Emacs Writing Studio but here’s a bit more. I’ve had this article about the Emacs writing workflow up in my browser for a long while and decided the time had come to … Continue reading

As many of you know, I’m a big fan of Paul Graham. He’s the guy who got me interested in Lisp and, by extension, Emacs. There’s a bit of irony there considering that Graham is a Vim user and his … Continue reading
More On Pangrams
Back in 2020, I wrote a post about the New York Times Spelling Bee puzzle. The TL;DR is that you’re given a list of seven letters, one of which is special. Solving the puzzle involves finding as many words as … Continue reading
🥩 Red Meat Friday: Multiple Editors
Today’s topic is using multiple editors. There’s no reason this should be a red meat topic but it is. People on both sides of the issue think those on the other side are weird. I’ve written about this before and … Continue reading
