Hi I am Sashank Niraula, aka thehaudedai.

Today marks the first day of my blog. I am not entirely sure what this is going to be about, I plan on writing about my life, ideas, thoughts and also what I am learning weekly or monthly, I am not sure.

However since you found this, Welcome to the life of thehaudedai

What I plan to do here?

Basically this blog is so that I can document my life expereinces, I am not gonna literally document my day to day life, just about projects I be doing and all.

So I will be sharing my experiences and what I learned when learning new skills, espeically programming, and such but there could be other stuff as well. If I am doing any projects like Game Development (FYI - I ain't too good), I will be sharing my project journey here.

I also plan to share any thoughts I come up with occasionally and lastly I want to improve my writing, I have been relying on generative AI too much for the last couple of years so in this blog everything I write will be completely mine and 100% human. So sorry in advance for the occasional typos and frequent grammer mistakes which I will be trying to reduce over the years.

Well this is my writing playground and I will be writing occasionally so once gain welcome.

Project Blogging Website:

As I said this is where I document my projects and what better project to talk about than this site itself. I am not gonna blabber much but heres how I created it.

I am using a CMS called Ghost, its a free and open source CMS. I already had a domain (since I am from Nepal, every Nepali citizen is entitiled to a lifetime free .np domain) and for hosting I am using Oracle's Always Free Tier. Its not great but enough to start, at least I dont have to pay for anything in the start.

I didnt know much about setting this up, so if you are gonna ask me how to set it up. Heres how:

  • Obtain a hosting service (VPS or Shared Hosting)
  • Get a domain (Subdomains can also work if you can obtain one for free)
  • Configure the hosting service with a linux server, Ubuntu is preferred
  • Go to Ghost's Documentaion: https://docs.ghost.org/install/
  • Choose Docker as its easier to maintain
  • Cpy the first page and paste it into an AI chat, so it gives accurate steps.
  • Now its all about following what the AI is saying.
