How would you go about a low maintenance personal website today?
It seems like there's a lot of ways to go about this that may be overkill, so I'm curious which may avoid that.
Low maintenance in this context is aiming for moderate technical knowledge/setup, lower cost, and portability in case you need to migrate your site and so minimal hassle in that process.

Is a hosted site like Medium or WordPress an option?
wordpress is only low maintenance if you don’t care about or are ignorant to security
Doesn't hosted WordPress auto-update at this point?
zero days and all sorts of things don’t get fixed in updates… the fact that the software with the security issue has access to write to disk in a manner that can be executed is also a huge problem
Yeah! Although, from personal experience reading blogs on Medium, it wouldn't be my first choice simply due to its pushiness to sign up/subscribe to some of the blogs there.
I never read from any one source there consistently enough to remember if that's a general platform element or only partnered/select blog element, and I feel like others unfamiliar with it may feel similar.
That's totally understandable.
I self hosted a blog for a while. Tweaking it was fun, but eventually the novelty wore off. If I ever do it again, I'd probably use something hosted so I spend more time on the content instead of the back end.
