Man, I just got my personal website running on GitHub pages last week, and I'm too broke to host it elsewhere and too lazy to host it myself
Cloudflare supports same pages and for free
and it's arguably better of a service. CF supports private repo page for free.
oh yes, "use the service everyone else uses".
CF buyout in 3...2...1
Well there is only 2 options. Host yourself, host for free and risk a buyout.
If you always live your life in fear then you will never be living your life.
third and fourth options
Ya wanna host it on my forgejo instance?
I'm about to move it to a kubenetes cluster once my parts come in.

There's quite a few places that you can host a simple site for free.
Plus, linode's cheapest Nanode option is $5 bucks a month, you could spin up a very minimal LAMP stack on that.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/WebsiteHosting.html aws free tier is also an option (although maybe not an improvement in this thread)
I mean, it doesn't seem like an improvement jumping from Microsoft to Amazon. Still a massive POS company
Hell, I would go so far as to say Amazon is worse
Amazon is the most efficient money extraction machine from people in history and AWS is the most efficient money extraction machine in history from businesses. Musk is better at extracting money from the US government, which is why he's richer than Bezos.
