Are you a localhost:8080 or a localhost:3000 programmer? 🤔
@nixCraft localhost:8080 since way back when.
@nixCraft either localhost:8000 or localhost:12345
@nixCraft I'm a shitpost.duckdns.org enjoyer(that's not mine btw)
@nixCraft
Is that a rhetorical poll?
@nixCraft 8080 for backend, 3000 for frontend
localhost:6942 and localhost:4206
@nixCraft I'm a localhost:443, because I need to pad out those billable hours.
@nixCraft Most of the time remotehost:22, sometimes localhost:631, randomhost:53/udp in the background… And not much of a programmer, more like an admin :-)
@nixCraft Got to go with the classic 8080.
@nixCraft
8000! Plus far higher ports: 10080, 23080 and so on. As I forward a lot of ports it's IP4.last*100+normalportnumber 😀
@nixCraft localhost:3001 because I yes >:)
@nixCraft localhost:6969 all the way.

@nixCraft

At the moment, lots of 9090, :9100 and a few others in that neighborhood.

And for some special cases 0.0.0.0:1

@klausman @nixCraft 9100.... Isn't that one reserved for cursing at printers?
@Dasy2k1 @nixCraft In my case, it's usually the Prometheus Node Exporter.

@nixCraft

What is this localhost you speak of?

127/8 is more flexible.

And ::1 can just go away. Useless crap.

@nixCraft I don't let myself be reduced to a single port number.

@nixCraft
Java (tomcat, glassfish) Vs Node.js (express)?

Both, but nowadays more localhost:3000

@nixCraft
localhost:8080 in the streets,
localhost:25565 in the sheets
@nixCraft most of the time i'm a "address already in use" developer.
@nixCraft I just randomly roll a port most times, if I need to manually specify it.
@nixCraft I am a "haven't touched web development" programmer 😛
@nixCraft I use http://192.168.3.14 (my Raspberry Pi) from VS Code running on Windows. No special port needed.
@nixCraft ssh -l 8080:localhost:3000 root@localhost

@nixCraft and you have successfully acquired the first mastodon spam bot I have seen!

Reported to their instance admin and blocked

@nixCraft I am a "all my high ports are hosting a stupid gimmick service so I need to upload my tests to a VPS" programmer

@nixCraft localhost:2112

WE ARE THE PRIESTS
OF THE TEMPLES
OF SYRINX

@nixCraft 8xxx if it's a web thing. quite whimsical, how i pick the numerical values to substitute the xxx
@nixCraft kinda a noob question. You use only just 1? Chad 10xers need their websockets as well
@nixCraft i do :9090 because 8080 was already taken by some other project im already running in
@nixCraft sometimes 127.0.0.2:35021
@nixCraft localhost:22 because I enjoy maximum chaos
@nixCraft why 8080 of course!
