It's hosted on a computer located inside my apartment. It used to be hosted on a cheap Synology NAS. No Cloudflare or CDN or anything like that, just a bare NGINX server.
The website itself is built on Jekyll, but I want to switch to something else because I don't use Ruby/Gem for anything else and I can't be bothered to commit that stack to memory just for that.
Made with Hugo and hosted on SourceHut. I am not a developer but I can call myself tech-savvy I guess. I love to tinker on my blog a lot; inspire from and discover other blogs.

The static site is made with nextjs. This template: https://github.com/timlrx/tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog
I edit my posts in a self hosted Ghost site that I run on my laptop as needed and then I use Eleventy to translate that into a static website which gets pushed to Neocities.org via WebDAV (requires the $5 a month plan)

Just nginx and static pre-compressed html and txt files. Publishing stack is my fingers and vim to get spell check. Backups are automated.

It is a static site using Jekyll and hosted on GitHub Pages. Although I'm not doing anything fancy, I'm surprised at how flexible Jekyll is when I try to add a feature.
A lot of aggregators will also not allow your blog to be posted if it's on a newsletter site like Substack, Patreon, etc.
I use GitHub Pages for hosting, Porkbun for the domain, and Astro for the blog itself. EZPZ to manage and very straightforward, plus Astro's docs are great.
Nikola to generate a static site and blog that I never bother updating because Mastodon is easier, and some shell scripts. The script that publishes the site creates a git repo, adds the static files and the remote host, force-pushes to origin and then gets deleted. It's as elegant as it is useless.
Mine is really simple. I push the changes to git and then pull them through ssh. I am planning to somehow automate the process, but honestly it takes less then 20 seconds so I'm quite happy with it as it is

Hugo, s3 and CloudFront. I use GitHub actions to push to s3, that is my deployment pipeline.
Yep I do, at https://marcolabarile.me/
Quite simple stack: Jekyll on Github Pages.

Jekyll on GitHub Pages with various actions to automate stuff like calculating mileage statistics.
Editing via the GitJournal app.
Static website written entirely in Emacs' org-mode with a slightly customized publish script that gets executed on a push to `main`. Hosted on GitHub Pages.
Hosted on GitHub Pages, built with React. For now I'm using nextjs, but a self-made static site generator is on the roadmap.
I use a from-scratch python script that generates a bunch of html files which are pushed to GitHub pages
Next.js with SSR, hosted for free with Vercel. I’ve used Jekyll, Django and Craft CMS in the past.

Points to Ponder
-> Use the basic Astro template for blogs. It is basically enough for a self-hosted blog needs. Using any of the third party themes/templates with a list of features has a bunch of disadvantages. It takes more effort to customize and upgrading to newer versions totally breaks the setup, sucking in hours of your time.
-> VS Code has plenty of Markdown Extensions. Markdown Preview and Frontend Masters come to mind.

I self host because I love writing code. It's inspired by Medium. It was built with Django and Svelte. I could have written the whole thing with Django but I wanted to learn Svelte, and I had plans of making it bigger and more interactive initially.
It's hosted on Render.
