The Problem

Standard practices say no non-root process gets to talk to the Internet on a port less than 1024. How, then, could I get Node talking on port 80 on EC2? (I wanted it to go as fast as possible and use the smallest possible share of my teeny tiny little micro-instance's resources, so proxying through nginx or Apache seemed suboptimal.)

The temptingly easy but ultimately wrong solution:

Alter the port the script talks to from 8000 to 80:

}).listen(80);

/*
 * This script will scrape text posts from a Tumblr blog and export them as `.md` 
 * files with YAML frontmatter ready to be used in a Middleman blog.
 *
 * Aliases are added for the _middleman-alias_ gem so Tumblr style URLs like
 * `/post/{id}/{slug}` will redirect to the Middleman-style URL.
 * 
 * Although I built this for migrating to Middleman it should be pretty easy to
 * adapt this for any similar static site generator.

A country that's polarized is paralyzed. If we want any change in the coming years, we need to find a way to work together. However, you can't just unify people by holding hands and singing Kumbaya. No – rather than ignore or "put aside" our differences, let's use our different perspectives & interests & skills to tackle problems from all possible angles! For us to find common ground, we first need to find common goals.

This is the Common Project project.

Below, you'll find a list of projects, people, organizations, books, talks, movies, articles, and ideas that cross partisan lines to solve The Big Problems we face today. There's many such problems. And we'll need help from all sides.
