I don't need a VPS anymore

I'm at the same page.

After decades of self hosting, and gradually warming up to "the cloud", only to promptly pull everything back home in 2013 when Snowden happened, i've yet again moved everything to the cloud.

For personal documents, privacy is handled by Cryptomator (https://cryptomator.org/), and i make local backups as well as remote backups to another cloud.

Everything else is in Azure. Their free tier offers generous consumption limits on Azure Functions and CosmosDB.

I'm currently playing around with Oracle Cloud as well. Their free tier has some generous offerings of ARM cores, 4 cores and 24 GB RAM that can be provisioned as either 4 x 1 core VPS' or a single 4 core VPS, but that just brings back the problem of having to manage stuff myself.

For the first time in decades, i have ZERO open ports in my firewall, and i'd like to keep it that way.

Re: search. It's not that site search is impossible, or even particularly hard, with a JAMstack site. It's just that I didn't consider it MVP for my personal site. I know how it can be done, and I'll implement it when I have time.

Re: CMS. I know where you're coming from, I spent a good decade or so specialising in traditional CMSes / frameworks myself, mainly Drupal and Django. There are various answers to the CMS question for static sites - the ones that I'm most familiar with are https://forestry.io/ and https://tina.io/ (and I've heard no end of buzz about <https://www.sanity.io/>). Those solutions are solid, I wouldn't call them "bizarre suggestions and workarounds". And they're good enough for most needs, IMHO. But I haven't tried pitching them to clients yet.
