Yeah doesn't work very well with bitbucket and don't want to pay for GitHub private repos...

Gitea. One binary, any reasonable database, and you're up and running.

It still feels too much work to maintain compared to just paying for hosting, at this point. Doubly so because it still does not solve the comments problem (so Disqus need to stay around too.)

That's something I've been meaning to fix on the fail0verflow site. There's an open source Disqus replacement somewhere (forgot the name). I'd still rather have Hugo than WordPress...

There's isso that I've been pointed at. But my trust in it and its developer is effectively zero, when it goes "comments are not bigdata, a sqlite database is going to be enough for anything, and who needs spam protection, nobody knows your blog anyway".

Realistically, a sqlite database *is* going to be enough for any random blog. As for spam... that's a hard problem and WP gets plenty of that too.

Not for the kind of RPS that I used to get, particularly before introducing ModSecurity. I'm really just to the point that the amount of things I'd have to do right to keep the blog in a good state are not worth my time.

I could shut the whole comments down, stop writing on it, and keep it as an archive on s3 or something, and go on with my life, too. But I'd prefer finding a solution that is low work enough that I can keep it active.
