BEMCheckBox v2.2.0 Released!

Posted on November 13, 2025 by Chris C

I’m pleased to announce that v2.2.0 of the BEMCheckBox has been released! This release builds an xcframework instead of a lipo binary. More details can be found in the release notes.

I was made aware of the change from lipo to xcframework when trying to add v2.1.0 of the BEMCheckBox to a .NET 8 version of the XPlugins.iOS.BEMCheckBox project.

BEMCheckBox makes it easy to create beautiful, highly customizable, animated checkboxes for iOS. You can learn more about the project here.

Truth be told, I’m not very familiar with Xcode/Swift development, so if anyone notices any issues, please let me know by opening an issue or a pull request. Especially with the accessibility features as this is my first time adding them.

Thank you Boris-Em for creating BEMCheckBox. Myself, and likely lots of other people, really appreciate it.

Posted on October 17, 2025 by Chris C

I’m still not done migrating to Jekyll. In this video I struggle to get Bootstrap customizations working with Jekyll, and I figure out that GitHub Pages gem will use the Primer theme by default. I then break the build by trying to remove the Primer theme.

SaturdayMP Show 66: picoCTF Format String 2 (Solved in One Long Video)

Posted on February 19, 2025 by Chris C

In this episode I solve the picoCTF Format String 2 problem in my longest video yet. Jump right to the end if you want to see the solution which used pwntools. I think it gave me the knowledge to solve Format String 3, which I haven’t solved yet. That said, I’m still struggling to picture the layout of variables on the stack.
