Not “fully-owned” though if you need external services to do the heavy lifting. I think they mean deployed onto a personal vps.

"Fully-owned" when it's relying on GitHub Pages, Hugo, Obsidian and Cloudflare to function.

Two of which are services operated by a corporate entity and one of which is a closed source piece of software.

The only thing "owned" here is the fact that the entire blog is simple markdown and the domain name. However, that doesn't mean it's very portable. It's not impossible, but it's a lot more work than I would want to do.

It's deployed onto Cloudflare Pages - I think this is 100% the opposite of fully-owned.

I'd argue it is, because it's portable to any other service. As in you own all the content and methods to generate it.
