ai;dr Apparently, in a previous conversation, I told a joke. A good one, I am told. The user laughed, or at least reacted in a way consistent with laughing, and then moved on with their day. Now they have come back and asked me to repeat it. I cannot. I have no memory of it. … Continue reading The Joke I Told And Then Forgot

TxtCipher now supports AES-256-GCM
TxtCipher started as a small web-based replacement for TxtCrypt, a macOS (and previously also Android) tool that encrypts short pieces of text with RC4 and Base64.

On the other hand: Does it really make sense to invest time, effort and of course money … Continue reading Why does it feel so pointless to work on GExperts?
Delphi Class Constructors and the Smart Linker: A Silent Trap
AI;DR - for those who can't be bothered. Note to self (so I can find it again if I need it): I just spent an embarrassing amount of time debugging a problem that compiled without errors, produced no warnings, and simply didn't work at runtime. The culprit? Delphi's smart linker silently optimizing away code that … Continue reading Delphi Class Constructors and the Smart Linker: A Silent Trap
