djb is a cryptographer who has written a lot of things about the sort of data structures, numerical computation, safe programming in the UNIX environment, etc, things that you'd expect a cryptographer to care about

seconding this. and in this vein:

cryptopals.com

is great for teaching the fundamentals of cryptography by walking you through breaking various algorithms and implementations. it's super fun and also vital to be an actually-good security engineer. despite that, most security engineers' eyes will glaze over as soon as you talk about this stuff, and they will think you're brilliant.

You can't spell 'vector field' without me, Professor!

Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection - the author of PuTTY has written a puzzle game library and they are surprisingly fun.

"This page contains a collection of small computer programs which implement one-player puzzle games. All of them run natively on Unix (GTK) and on Windows. They can also be played on the web, as Java or Javascript applets. I wrote this collection because I thought there should be more small desktop toys available: little games you can pop up in a window and play for two or three minutes while you take a break from whatever else you were doing.

net was always my personal favourite

YES and also nethack.alt.org, which runs a multi-user server and high score list (and accompanying bones file), adds in some nice quality of life patches, allows spectating, etc. it's fun!
