Recently I bought a new Lexmark printer. I’m not sure why I decided to subject myself to the torture of being a printer-owner. Maybe it was because the library is closed due to COVID-19 and I have nowhere to print anymore. Maybe it was because I wanted to make an irresponsible purchase. Maybe it was because I felt the world needed a little more suffering in it.

Recently, I started working on a cat(1)-like tool that uses splice(2) and sendfile(2). This tool has been published in a GitHub repo. Throughout the process I learned plenty more than I expected to about make(1) and stdout.
