I had a similar setup in the past. The current stack can be explained by:

1. I don't want to rely on any external SaaS but my VPS. No github action to rebuild the site or anything like that.

2. I want to be able to post from multiple devices, which means that SSGs add more friction cause I'd need to make sure the source is up to date on all machines I am trying to post. It is not a hard problem, but opening an editor online and posting is much easier. The key to blogging is reducing friction.
