Are you a localhost:8080 or a localhost:3000 programmer? πŸ€”
in reply to nixCraft 🐧

0.0.0.0:80 because my Rust is so secure I can develop as root
/s/s/s *ducks behind fence*

I'm a localhost:443, because I need to pad out those billable hours.

8000! Plus far higher ports: 10080, 23080 and so on. As I forward a lot of ports it's IP4.last*100+normalportnumber πŸ˜€

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

And for some special cases 0.0.0.0:1

What is this localhost you speak of?

127/8 is more flexible.

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

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

Both, but nowadays more localhost:3000

in reply to nixCraft 🐧

I just randomly roll a port most times, if I need to manually specify it.
in reply to nixCraft 🐧

I use 192.168.3.14 (my Raspberry Pi) from VS Code running on Windows. No special port needed.

@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
in reply to nixCraft 🐧

kinda a noob question. You use only just 1? Chad 10xers need their websockets as well
in reply to nixCraft 🐧

i do :9090 because 8080 was already taken by some other project im already running in
