It's about 5 hours until New Years here in White Rock, BC, Canada. So much change has happened for my wife and I this year, and so much to be grateful to and look forward to.
My best wishes to all of you here on the Code Project. This is always the first place I visit in the morning, and I appreciate all of you.

Yes, but only if you give equal time to Leibniz, and include your critical analysis of how "The System of the World" by Neal Stephenson uses the Newton/Leibniz "controversy" as a key plot element.

If you want a "cooler" version of this song, try Anglina Jordan: Bille Jean[^]
(Sure, she is a girl. Nevertheless, I think that the character of her voice fits the "boy's lyrics" quite well! For the curious ones: She was 15 years old when making this recording.)

...at least, it doesn't involve any code. It's more of a "would you do it this way" type of question...
Over a decade ago, I wrote a small app that needed to broadcast simple notifications to other systems across my LAN. I came across mailslots, a mechanism that's been built into Windows for years, and both client and server samples were trivial enough to be considered no-brainers.
A few days ago, being on holidays, I spent a bit of time reviewing that code, rebuilding it using newer versions of .NET, and implementing some minor fixes (completely unrelated to mailslots).
But it got me thinking: Are mailslots still a worthwhile mechanism? I've never come across any formal documentation as to how long Windows would still be supporting them for, and on Windows 10/Server 2022, my code still works rather nicely. It's simple and elegant, low-overhead, and does the job.
I guess it could boil down to just that, "does it do the job", and leave it at that. Still, I'm curious - does anyone know of a reason to proactively avoid this mechanism? It's using UDP, but I've never lost a single packet (and even if it did, it's not vital to any operation). It's using the standard Windows file share port, I believe, so it's unlikely to be blocked, at least within a private LAN. It's not inherently secure, but it's not transporting any confidential data. And even if it had to, there's plenty of ways a message could be encrypted.
What argument might you use to convince someone to use another mechanism? The current (?) MS documentation on mailslots also mentions named pipes and Windows Sockets. Sockets aren't exactly trivial (or rather, not as trivial), and TBH I've never tried to use named pipes so I'm not in a position to make an honest judgement.
I guess I'm just fishing for pro/con arguments. What say you?

Scalability and async. And maybe more interesting.

Complete overkill, I'm afraid, for the needs of this app. See my reply to raddevus below.
