the persistent idiocy of "privileged ports" on Unix

TCP and UDP have ports.  These are 16 bit; there are 65535 or so per IP address. These protocols don't care to differentiate between the ports.  Elsewhere, IANA presumes to operate a process to allocate "well-known" ports in the range 1-1023, "registered ports" in the range 1024-49151, and to reserve the remainder, 49152–65535, for "ephemeral" ports.  The caller end has to have a port, which is how replies get back within the virtual connection, and these are conventionally picked from the ephemeral range by the OS's networking stack. The whole idea of ports is ridiculous, because it allows ISPs to arse around presuming to decide which services they will "not allow".  Anything that allows IPSs to do anything other than shift opaque packets will allow ISPs to meddle and break things, and due to the Law of Meddling, if they can, they will.  I am currently working around an issue with Claro, a pretend ISP, blocking port 5060, allocated to SI...

The CD-S303 is one of the only CD decks still manufactured.  It powers itself off, and powering it back on to play some music is laborious.  Probably due to an EU regulation.

Procedure:  * place the unit in standby mode by either using the button on the remote control or waiting for the unit to enter standby mode by itself. Note: the LED above the power button is orange for both on and standby modes.  It is slightly brighter for on than for standby.  * press and hold PURE DIRECT, Open/Close, and Play simultaneously until indicator changes on front panel display. It will briefly display "ADV SETT" or similar and then progress to "PLAY MEM OFF"  * press STOP three times and the display will say "AUTO STBY ON"  * press FAST-FORWARD once and it will say "AUTO STBY OFF"  * press STOP and i...
