Links #2025-26 - malloc, trackers, and a punch

Articles and videos I found last week that I actually read or watched until the end.

Note: I am dropping my introductions to the links and return to just putting them in a list. I am not convinced that my blabbing added that much value. The posts should speak for themselves. If they don't, I'll take that as a signal that they don't actually belong here.
