26 in a month. Like everyone else here, I went through handcoded HTML (hosted on my Amiga!) to a self-written Perl CMS-like-thing to some PHP ball of mud, and then across a variety of wikis and blog engines and static sites and back to blog setups and back to static sites.
Last month I migrated my Hugo setup to a hosted micro.blog account. It adds the missing bits I was too lazy or time-crunched to configure myself, like crossposting to other services, webmentions, and all the other indieweb goodness.
A big shout out to Matomo analytics that lets me look at anonymized visitor records on my self-hosted server. It lacks the detail of Google Analytics (although you can pay Matomo for plugins that bring it close) but my visitors' information never leaves my possession. I don't care about what _a_ visitor does on my site, but I enjoy seeing the aggregate patterns, how people came to find me, and things like that.
