Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Modern TLS/SSL on 16-bit Windows
I wonder if it is possible to make https://github.com/wqweto/VbAsyncSocket compile on Visual Basic 4, then you could target 16 bit.

A TLS 1.3 Stack Written in Visual Basic 6
What is impressive (or hilarious) is that someone opened an issue because it wasn't compatible with VB5[0]. The maintainer added a VB5 branch which apparently fixed the issues.

Implementing RSA in Python from Scratch
You are right.
What is a good idea however, is to implement a TLSv1.3 library in Visual Basic 6[1], that doesn't have any external dependencies, by embedding machine code for AES encryption generated with MSVC in the source code, that you patch into memory at runtime, by using all sorts of tricks to do things in VB6 that you aren't supposed to do in VB6. Yes, that VB6, that was released in 1998, superseded by VB.NET in 2002. Because Microsoft has just announced it's supported on Windows 11.[2] So when developing new software, why not use something future-proof?

Are there references to be able to use TCP/IP or UDP?
After a quick Google Search, I found this: VbAsyncSocket

Anyway, that link for VB6 looks poromising: https://github.com/wqweto/VbAsyncSocket - it is using calls to ws2_32,dll, so it is up to date. I'll dust off VB6 to see how it works in that version, before I try to use it with VBA. VBA is not quite the same as VB6, very similar language, but not all of the same features can be implemented.
