I did last week (converted ghost to static) and was half wondering if some self contained binary wouldn't be faster so I feel like this was made for me, but I accept I'm not the typical user

You just helped to dredge up a memory, which brought me back to this fascinating project:

https://redbean.dev

If this piques your interest, make sure to check out the portable C library used to create it, which is also fascinating:

These projects are fascinating, and I referenced them in a nearby comment about static hosting from archives. I need to try the latest versions to see how they work at higher scale (more data in the archive).
Why not let Clouflare/GitHub/etc do it for you? Free, and you don't have to worry about security and availability.
Because handing off control of a static site to a company that already controls XX% of the Internet for "security" goes against everything I believe in. And availability, cloudflare and github?
