1. Whatever I feel like writing about: largely rust, things I've enjoyed reading, opinions about work stuff, the occasional random other stuff, etc.
2. Whenever I find the time, somewhere between a few times a week and twice a year, depending on lots of other circumstances.
3. Self-hosted (via azure & cloudflare) HTML generated from markdown files using a fun little utility I built as a learning project (all the generator code, markdown, & HTML is stashed on GH: https://github.com/mplanchard/speedy https://github.com/mplanchard/speedy). For whatever reason I'm more motivated to maintain something I've built myself as compared to previous attempts with medium and such. The freedom to do whatever I want, however I want is nice. I can present things simply, with little to no adornment, avoid pushing trackers and ads on people, explicitly release my content under whatever copyright I want, etc. So far I've yet to incur any costs beyond Azure's free plan, but while it's been free so far, I'd gladly pay a bit of money to continue to keep it under my control.

For my blog (https://faical.dev https://faical.dev) I have a very similar setup (S3 & Cloudflare) with HTML generated from Markdown using a small command line tool I built (https://github.com/ftchirou/article https://github.com/ftchirou/article). For publishing, I push a Markdown file to a repo and a Bitrise workflow takes care of generating the HTML and uploading to S3.
