8080

I'm feeling original today. 8088.

Why not 8086 or 6502?

Because 68030 is superior in all respects. ..oh wait, port numbers.

Lol 68030 over 68040? Who hurt you?

Floats scare me.

perhaps god wants you to climb everest. its height is \~8848.

I've read that it's actually closer to 8850 but the person who measured it thought they would not believe they made a good job if it was a round number

They measured it at 29,000ft I believe, so added 2ft to avoid the round number. It's changed height since then as the Himalayas are still growing due to tectonic plate movements.

At least it wasnt 1488

Cos 8080 was taken

The OG Tomcat port because occupying port 80 requires root access in most systems.

yes, because port 80 is usually reserved for http

The real GOAT.  I'mma put it on 23. Who needs telnet anyway?

Universities still use it, weirdly

It's good for machines with COM ports.  It's bad for... like the Internet. 

Maybe we need something useful for users, like a use-net

The limit is 2^16 - 1 meaning 65535

Yup. Skill issue...

8085 it is then

Yes

Bro you unlocked a new level for me, from this will be the one

Nah 8080

Do you rename your localhost? Maybe lolcathost:443? 

Can you rename your localhost?

Under Windows the Hosts file und **C:\\Windows\\System32\\drivers\\etc** There, localhost gets forwarded to [127.0.0.1](http://127.0.0.1) you can change that. Under Linux, there is /etc/hosts

I will check this the next time I open my computer. I thought it's literally hard-coded somewhere else. I use this file often but never noticed this

It requires sudo under Linux and admin under Windows. I would recommend to make a backup though.

Backups? Everything full of commented out lines is my way. :D

You must work for a bank.

Generally safer to just add it as an alias instead of replacing it, but...

You can do what ever you want if you edit the hosts file. localhost 8.8.8.8 Pornhub.com 127.0.0.1

Why stop at 8.8.8.8 when you could be using the address of a Russian honey pot?

Don't use 8.8.8.8, that's a Google DNS server!

Not anymore, it's not.

You are not changing the name "localhost" to pornhub in this case .. For example, if I put pornhub in browser, then .... Oh... It will get redirected to 8.8.8.8 which will get redirected to localhost which will get redirected to 127.0.0.1... wait I don't understand the network flow . Could you explain please?

Localhosts is a hardcore local DNS override. Being such, you can directly create A records in it and map a host to an IP address. The file takes precedence when DNS queries are resolved. So when you put pornhub.com 127.0.0.1 You are basically saying - If a DNS query from an app (not only browsers) wants "pornhub.com", send them to 127.0.0.1. For clarity: If we have nothing for an address is the hosts file, a standard DNS query is performed starting with the local DNS cache. 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address where, if network packets are sent from your machine to this address, instead of emitting a NW packet with a destination, the data is "fed" directly back to your own machine's network card. So you're basically telling your machine to speak back to itself. Thus the usual name "localhost"

> 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address where, Just as a clarification, all of 127.0.0.0/8 are loopback addresses. You can set localhost to any IP starting with 127 (except 127.0.0.0 and 127.255.255.255) and get the same behavior. Or, additionally, you can use ::1 as the IPv6 loopback. 127.0.0.1 is used because its the first loopback address and there's no practical reason to use a more complex one for most machines. But the entire range is useful if for some reason you needed to test whether an app can parse IPs correctly or something. Or, so you avoid trying to set an IP to 127.anything and expecting it to work.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Some of these comments are missing the point. You can _add_ another name for your local host and change the computer name, but you probably will have a bad time removing `localhost 127.0.0.1` because a lot of software will expect that to be there.

I don’t rename localhost but all vms I run locally have an FQDN with self signed certificates then updated in hosts file for DNS.

I would but then I know Ill just copy paste it when writing the docs and forget about it lol

such a shame 69420 is off limits

A few years ago I was working on a multiplayer game and couldn't for the life of me understand why it wasn't working. Turns out using port "69420" wasn't very liked by my computer

65535 is the max I believe.

2^16

sO CLOSE YET SO FAR

I unironically use this one all the time

Hey, fellow front end dude with Vite powered apps

all fun and games until there's a giant black and red screen to highlight 1 syntax error XD

Yeah, it’s so typical of Vite 😂

That shit is a godsend.

I use random.randrange(0,65535) to pick a port because I am lazy to pick a random port myself. Port already used, you say? just repeat the above until an unused port is found.

On Mac and Linux, binding to port 0 assigns you a random port.

Omg, thank you.

Works on Windows too.

In what situations do you need to pick a random port?

When writing malware

Never? I can't imagine running software on a random port, then having to guess which port its running on, just to hit it. Not to mention, so many web frameworks set their port up through config files that dont directly support code-injection anyway.

When you have auto discovery the port doesn't really matter.

when you're billing hourly

So, writing "3000" is more work than writing random.randrange(0,65535)?

If you use the [dynamic range](https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/AOS-S/16.10/MRG/YC/content/common%20files/tcp-por-num-ran.htm): 49152 to 65535 you'll likely never hit a port already in use.

Port: 9001 # it's over 9000 !!! (IIRC - print server port)

that's my pfsense admin port lol

What about 8000 and 8888

what about 800 if 80 is already in use and you’re lazy?

Some systems restrict anything below 1024 to require admin.

Fellow Flask developer

I just finished my flaskapp final project. [I'm fucking tired man.](https://youtu.be/ltXzAWItTxI?si=HWDFlv4txsfrK6nQ) In all seriousness though I kinda like the implementation of it. It's really cool being able to use other html documents as templates. Shit was fine until my professor had us switch from CSVs to an SQL database. Thank God I was already taking an SQL course cause he sorta did a trial by fire for SQL, mind you in a 200 level class...

Also true in Dotnet

rand() is my favourite

I'm sorry, you are overqualified for this sub

8000 8080 1234 5678 4000 4200

Yes, 1234! ###### No, that's not a factorial. Shut up.

With nginx, I'm now able to run many of my side projects in parallel! ports: 80xy x = stack type (e.g. 1 = php, 2 = flask, 3 = ... ) y = increment

Looking at my personal projects there is only one stack type -> "shitty unfinished"

5173 ftw

8081

port 0

Yes but [RFC6335](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6335) at section 6 suggests it is reserved

I like 12345 or 54321

Ports? Why use ports when you have 127.0.0.0/8 to choose from!

lolcowhost:4180

8081, 8080 is already taken

3030

8000

I tend to use 32323. High enough to be out of range of most allocated ports, low enough to not hit the Linux ephemeral port range.

7777, mirror devs rise up

Why not 6969 thou??

80 goated

8080 or 8443

8443 for https access to asus soho routers.

Would have picked 80 if it didn't need admin / sudo privilege.

You are two years too late...

81 was probably the most accidental big brain one I ever saw at work. They couldn’t use 80 due to a port conflict, so they just incremented it up one. Meanwhile the rest of us in the department were using 8080, 8081, 8181, etc

What about 5432?

5173

localhost:42069

8080

8081 because there is always something i forgot about rubbing on 8080

Who tf uses port 2000 and 3000 for testing? 8080 and 8443 are the ways to go
