I really dont agree with "fully owned", you arent running on anything you actually own ie self-hosting. It's all on the cloud, which dont get me wrong, is pretty cool and helpful, but hardly yours.

I’m using “fully owned” more in the sense of control rather than infrastructure ownership. The content lives locally, it’s versioned in Git, and everything’s built with open tools. I can move it to another host any time without being locked into a specific platform or format.

I agree it’s not “self-hosted”. But compared to a closed CMS or paid platform, it feels meaningfully more in my hands.

If we're going to nitpick that far they'd need to start an ISP and lay their own fibre too

Personally I feel if you can quickly pull out of a provider and host elsewhere with maybe just a config change - aye the data is fully owned, close enough.
