The Nile River’s fertile plains created an environment teeming with avian life, making birds an integral part of the Egyptians’ spiritual and material world.

Inspired by 财神猫猫‘s live stream featuring the sound of an iron pole dropping, I decided to build a similar platform for my own enjoyment. While the original stream had functions such as triggering an iron pole drop sound, playing meme sounds upon entering, and using dynamic colors, iron.cs-csc.online is more like a song request system where memes play upon clients’ commands. Additionally, clients can interrupt the current meme with the powerful drop command.

Algorithmic complexity — everyone’s favorite concept for geeking out and squeezing out performance.
You have a problem to solve. You come up with a solution and it’s O(n^2). You see that it won’t work and need to make it better. You tweak it a bit and get to linear complexity — O(n). You’re happy because things are looking brighter.
