Great stuff, looking forward to your next blog post in 1 year: “How I rebuilt my blog on…” A fun hobby of mine is Googling “how I built this blog with [next.js/Gatsby/etc etc]” and going to page 10 of the Google results. It’s just hundreds of developer blogs with no blog posts other than the ones announcing how the blog was built.
I profoundly do not understand why one needs Hugo or Jekyll or whatever other generator. Why not write HTML in the first place? It's so absurdly easy and it makes you not depend on external infrastructure at all. I tried some generators but it was so much more complicated than writing a style sheet and some pages. Maybe for some more complex use-case, okay, I get it, but the author's blog is so minimal and simple. ed…
It takes me nine characters plus URL and alt text in markdown using Hugo. I would be surprised if you get it right on the third try without consulting MDN, spending time to research, do image conversions, and fiddle with the tag and its srcset attribute.

I actually prefer reading like this, even on desktop. It feels like it causes less eye strain. Though I might prefer if it was closer to 65rem.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not “fully-owned” though if you need external services to do the heavy lifting. I think they mean deployed onto a personal vps.
It's deployed onto Cloudflare Pages - I think this is 100% the opposite of fully-owned.
It's not really fully-owned, but it's owned in the ways that matter most

I imagine this just mitigates the need to make the site reactive for mobile users. Everyone gets the mobile experience. I actually prefer reading like this, even on desktop. It feels like it causes less eye strain. Though I might prefer if it was closer to 65rem.
Yes that was the intention.
