Welcome, this is the first post in my new blog. I found only two reasons for doing self-hosted blog: I can select the engine and formatting instead of getting annoyed with limitations of managed (although free) platforms such as Medium. Controlling blog hosting makes it more resilient compared to external hosting that is driven by business dedcisions over which I have no control. So, I decided to do an experiment with creating a blog website and in a year (it will be March, 2025) to run a retrospective of the blog hosting and maintenance and decide whether I will continue with the project.
