List of C/C++ Project Ideas in Networking Programming 🔗

Here's a collection of practical projects with references to help you get started:

1. Let's Code a TCP/IP Stack

Why did you do this?

Relax, I only have one Sunday to work on idea, literally my weekend project. So I tried Deepseek to see if it can help. Surprisingly, it works and it saves me another weekend...

What is your setup?

Just chat.deepseek.com (cost = free) with prompts adapted from this gist.

Does it work in one-shot or I have to prompt it multiple times?

Hyperlinks (a.k.a. HTML-like anchors) in terminal emulators

[ Update 2020-05-31: I won't be maintaining this page or responding to comments anymore (except for perhaps a few exceptional occasions). ]

---

Most of the terminal emulators auto-detect when a URL appears onscreen and allow to conveniently open them (e.g. via Ctrl+click or Cmd+click, or the right click menu).

It was, however, not possible until now for arbitrary text to point to URLs, just as on webpages.

What is some existing documentation on Linux memory management?

  Ulrich Drepper (the glibc maintainer) wrote an article series called
  "What every programmer should know about memory":

Extract from POSA 4

The specific partitioning criteria can be defined along various dimensions, such as abstraction, granularity, hardware distance, and rate of change.

The abstraction dimension

For example, a layering that partitions an architecture into presentation, application logic, and persistent data follows the abstraction dimension.

The granularity dimension

Copy of commit message to mpv repo:

stream_libarchive: workaround various types of locale braindeath

Fix that libarchive fails to return filenames for UTF-8/UTF-16 entries. The reason is that it uses locales and all that garbage, and mpv does not set a locale.

Both C locales and wchar_t are shitfucked retarded legacy braindeath. If the C/POSIX standard committee had actually competent members, these

Let's Destroy C

I have a pet project I work on, every now and then. CNoEvil.

The concept is simple enough.

What if, for a moment, we forgot all the rules we know. That we ignore every good idea, and accept all the terrible ones. That nothing is off limits. Can we turn C into a new language? Can we do what Lisp and Forth let the over-eager programmer do, but in C?
