okay I think I actually have a working posting environment using 11ty, VSCode, and Dreamhost (but any VPS or static host that provides minimal web server configuration would do). Now to try to import my archives via some of the community scripts that were built... and then I'll have to figure out how to import the images from the CDN URLs
all of the expensive parts of this happen as one painful protracted migration process, but the relief I'd have if I pulled it off and owned all of my data in a modern supported SSG environment would be 100% worth the annoyance.
