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...

As well, observe this perfunctory, bossy, yet passive tone that they take.  "all customers are required" to such and such.  Let's try this.  "All telecoms providers are required to provide ipv6 service".  Oh, that didn't work.  "All entities are required to desist from calling other entities' things 'my'".  Oh, that didn't work either. This is the real pronoun crisis.

ontology of seat pricks

If you sit in a seat, and you put your feet on, or push your legs against, the seat in front, you are a seat prick.  If the person whose seat you are messing up asks you to stop, and an hour later you are doing the same thing again, you are a very bad seat prick. If you yank on the head of someone's seat, to heave yourself up, you are a bad seat prick. If you recline your seat into someone else's space, and it's not night time, you are a recline seat prick. These are the basic types of seat prick: seat prick, bad seat prick, very bad seat prick, and recline seat prick.
