This is also an ongoing series on that blog, if you look at previous entries there's lots with the same title, also about C having buffer overflows

Thanks, I've had thoughts about making it a bit more elaborate (possibly involving large language models somehow to help synthesize what's going on into the right format, and so that it's not literally the same thing every time), but there's a charm in making it literally the same thing every time with the details swapped out. It points out the repetition to the level that all you need to do is swap out the details next time. This is all so preventable, but sometimes these things just happen and there's not anything anyone can do about them.
