I used it for many things personally. Actually, on some consulting jobs, 
I showed it to some people, some used parts of it. It was more like a 
proxy server framework. All in C. But, most of them were way more 
interested in me helping them fix some deadlocks and/or potential race 
conditions in their code. This was way back in very early 2000's.

One of the worst jobs I ever had was for somebody who would lock a mutex 
in their io threads loop and call into user code. They said it was fine 
because of recursive mutex, but they also said it would deadlock from 
time to time. It was a fucking nightmare.

I have never ever written a server app before, just business-oriented 
MIS stuffs (mostly Foxpro/DOS, Foxpro/Windows and Visual Foxpro). The 
last time I wrote things related directly to networked operating system 
was Novell Netware.

I think I could call and respect you as a software engineeer? :)

Yeah. I am. thank you. But the last time I created server code was many 
moons ago. 20-25+ years ago. I moved to another place since then, around 
2012. Coding up fractals and vector fields. Fwiw, I made the 2025 AMS 
Calander. The cover! And the month of February. Fwiw, check this out. 
Can you get to the damn FB link?

You can also find some of my work on YouTube. Fwiw, I also made the MIDI 
music here:

And is the server multi-threading? Did it leak memory? :)

Will you disclose its source codes in GitHub?

It was multi threading and it leaked nothing. No memory, a handle, 
ect... Well, the only shit storm that could occur when I turned off the 
limits... Well, Windows NT non-paged memory pool. If that ran out, shit 
could occur. Well, Windows has a neat way to try to take some pressure 
off. A Zero byte recv. So, a WSARecv in flight uses no non-paged memory. 
It would complete on IOCP. I would check its per-io flags, and say okay. 
Not its time to read the data that is ready. The trick was to not use 
non-paged while the io completion was in flight.

> Will you disclose its source codes in GitHub?

Iirc wrote about some bits and pieces of it way back in iirc, 
alt.winsock. Its long ago. Actually, I think I might have a hd in my 
storage unit that has my win nt proxy server code.

You were talking about modern day internet. I don't remember people 
talking about image hosting back when internet was first opened to 
public use, or maybe I was not allowed to learn, discover and know about it.

Also, back then sound, images and hence movies were not an important 
part of internet. Things changed in these decades with hardware 
improvement, but slowly...slowly...slowly and being 
managed/moderated/regulated. :)

Only old fart regulars are against it. Find one of many many abandoned
Usenet Newsgroups and post your image attachments...

Attached is my public AEC NaClbox key, which should display in Thunderbird. :)

I think comp.graphics might be a better starting node. But that branch 
is more about image manipulation than programming.

How about comp.games? To write games, you need something like QT and 
MingW. You need to understand GUI.

In the end, we naturally come back down to comp.lang !!  :)
