Gigachad Sysadmin Swaps All the Well-Known Ports

Description

A two-panel meme: left is a black-and-white Gigachad (Ernest Khalimov) photo of a bald, bearded, muscular man staring smugly at the camera; right is a 4chan-style Anonymous post on a dark background with a checkbox and greentext: ">ssh port: 80", ">https port: 22", ">ftp port: 25", ">smtp port: 443". Default IANA mappings are SSH/22, HTTPS/443, FTP/21, SMTP/25, so every service is bound to someone else's well-known port. The joke is security-through-obscurity as a personality: firewalls that allow 80/443, nmap scripts that trust port numbers, and anyone who has to remember `ssh -p 80`.
