Not “fully-owned” though if you need external services to do the heavy lifting. I think they mean deployed onto a personal vps.

"Fully-owned" when it's relying on GitHub Pages, Hugo, Obsidian and Cloudflare to function.

Two of which are services operated by a corporate entity and one of which is a closed source piece of software.

The only thing "owned" here is the fact that the entire blog is simple markdown and the domain name. However, that doesn't mean it's very portable. It's not impossible, but it's a lot more work than I would want to do.

Awesome! I setup something similar recently for my website and love it. I go Cursor with Hugo to GitHub to Cloudflare. I saw many Wrangler mentions so want to look at that at some point?

It’s funny because we could ostensibly switch to any git hoster but it’s really only GitHub and gitlab huh? And Cloudflare is hard to beat.

“Zero cost” until cloudflare management decide to kill the free program.

There are so many other services that allow you to host static pages for free though, at least currently.

I have largely the same setup but use neovim instead of obsidian. A friendly tip: you don’t have to populate the metadata yourself and can use ‘hugo new / .md’ to create the file with the metadata.

Nice, didn’t know that. Will try it out, thanks!

I'd argue it is, because it's portable to any other service. As in you own all the content and methods to generate it.

Obsidian, Hugo, Github, Cloudflare ... none of those are owned by you.

Obsidian is just a markdown editor, so the files are portable. The context is that the content and methods to publish it are not someone elses.

The Hugo/GitHub combo has been around/mentioned for some years.. I thought of running a blog once (but then.. no) and this was the choice I would have made. But on the other hand, if you are going to post something online, just go to blogspot and call it a day. Because that's what you did there. A blogspot (but on MS instead of Google) with many-many-many extra steps.
