      I really love Jesse Frazelle's[1] blog. She posts things about low-level (firmware/open-hardware/system) security. Her work is already well known here on HN[2].

      A few more of my fav:

      The grugq (NatSec, Tradecraft, OpSec): https://gru.gq/

      Pinboard (aka Maciej Cegłowski): https://idlewords.com/

      Man I absolutely love this theme he is using. Took a while to find the post but here is the info on the current design. https://aelkus.github.io/site/2019/09/10/design-sources

      Honestly the design is so nice it makes me want to get around to finishing setting up a blog
