Set up Eleventy with Bun

Francisco Cornejo Garcia — Sun, 19 Nov 2023 23:48:56 +0000

If you do not already have bun installed, install bun here for different ways to install.

In your terminal, we create a new project and hop in.
bun init will create a package.json file for you.

mkdir new-project
cd new-project
bun init

Now we install Eleventy as a dev dependency.

bun add --dev @11ty/eleventy

We create a file to try out.

echo '<h1>Hello World!</h1>' > index.html

Compile and run Eleventy to generate a static file.

bunx @11ty/eleventy

You should be able to see a new directory, _site, that contains your generated file.

How about we start up a hot-reloading local web server?

bunx @11ty/eleventy --serve

Go to http://localhost:8080/ to see your file live!
You can make changes and save your file for your browser to auto-reload and see your new updates.

How to Send Files over SCP

Francisco Cornejo Garcia — Mon, 23 Oct 2023 04:59:58 +0000

SCP means Secure Copy Protocol, a network protocol that copies data from one remote place to another through a secure connection. Let's copy a file from one place to another.

To scp a file over, you must include a source and a destination.

scp [source] [destination]

For the source, you type a file path to the file you want to copy.

For the destination, you type the username and host of the remote device to connect to.
Then, you type the file path to the destination you want your file to be in.

scp /path/to/file username@host:/path/to/destination

You can use a port number too.

scp -P 80 /path/to/file username@host:/path/to/destination

To learn more, you can always man scp for more details.

3 Easy Morning Habits in 3 Minutes

Francisco Cornejo Garcia — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 04:10:39 +0000

Starting a new habit can be difficult, especially when and where to get started. Having tried a variety of habits over the years, below are three morning habits that have helped started my journey toward a better lifestyle.

In the morning, I would

Drink Water
When I wake up, I often feel dehydrated and need to drink some water. Having a bottle or cup of water beside your bed can prompt you to drink water and also wake you up as you struggle to fight off the urge to back to sleep.
Wash your Face
I don’t know about you but I often need to use the bathroom when I wake up. After that, I already feel I need to wash my hands. Here is the perfect opportunity to put water and soap on your face and begin washing. Nothing like a cold splash of water to shock you.
Write an X
One thing that most people forget when setting a new habit is rewarding yourself for doing them. Writing an X right after drinking water or washing your face can provide a fun, visual way to see your progress. For every set of habits you do, write an X on a nearby piece of paper, in a journal, or even on your phone.

While these habits seem small and not very important, they are easy to start with and can lead to more impactful habits that I’ve discovered later on this journey.

Readers, what are some small habits that already got you started on your own journey?
