I have a manually-created, static website, and while it's small enough to manage without tools, it's a bit cumbersome to remain consistent when making global changes.
After reviewing a number of static site generators, I decided to give Eleventy a try. It was incredibly simple and intuitive to use.
I documented the set up for my fellow Fedora Silverblue developers on how to build a static website with Eleventy and Tailwind CSS.
@tati@eldritch.cafe Maybe upload, monitor, and then delete those files a couple more times to see if you can consistently reproduce this memory issue to rule out a spurious correlation. That's what I would do just to make sure it was in fact the files.
If you have CLI access to the Ubuntu server, you can watch memory utilization in real-time with a tool called `htop`, check disk space utilization with `df -h`, and you might even check Apache/Nginx web server logs for errors around the time the site crashed.
For years I've used apps like Caffeine and Amphetamine to keep my Mac awake, but today I learned that there's also a built-in command called `caffeinate` which provides basic functionality.
Before I delete an account from a service, I like to request my data to see what's in there.
Reviewing my #Discord export, I'm surprised to find there is a section dedicated to "frecency," i.e. how often I used specific: stickers, emojis, application commands, applications, guilds and channels, and emoji reactions.
Looking at emojis, it tracked: total uses, recent uses, and assigned some kind of score.
Just... why?
On the upside, I did learn that the 😂 emoji wins with ~700 uses.
I'm trying to write copy for a small business website and it's challenging, because I spent so long in a corporate environment, I forgot how to talk normally. It starts out sounding choppy yet authentic, but after several rounds of editing, I find myself wondering what I meant to say in the first place.
