So we're on Bearblog now?
I have yet to refresh my system so I can't use Eleventy Build Awesome to generate my blog site, because I permanently messed up my npm install trying to clear 18 vulnerabilities (I don't use Node). Normally I prefer self hosting because I don't have to be dependent on someone else's systems and it's more portable, plus I don't like setting up myself for a life of subscriptions. But honestly there's worse things to be paying for than $6/month to an independent developer making a blogging site.
I just wanna write posts again lol, 'puter wants to make that more complicated than it has to be.
