If you don’t want to read “AI slop”, stop reading now. TxtCipher is a small web page that encrypts and decrypts text with a password. I wrote it to exchange text with TxtCrypt, a macOS pr https://blog.dummzeuch.de/2026/09/15/txtcipher-code-review-rc4...

    archived blog posts from Borland/Codegear/Embarcadero I just found by accident that Embarcadero has made most (all?) blog posts from Borland and Codegear available, back to 1995. They are by “Embarcadero Archives” and there are 474 posts in total. The very first one is Extracting A Bitmap From A BLOB Field from 1995-06-01. There is also Allen Bauer’s A “Nullable” Post from 2008-09-18, wrongly attributed to Barry Kelly Another pos https://blog.dummzeuch.de/2026/04/05/archived-blog-posts-from-borl...
