I've done, and still do, regular blogging. I have a domain, and everything I post is mine. However it can't be "indieweb" because I used Wordpress. Hence my current blog is dependent on a corporation, as were a couple of older ones that were built in Blogger (and still exist, last updated nearly a decade ago).

That dependency is because isn't feasible for me to own my own server. If I did, it would either be virtual, in amazon's or microsoft's cloud, or it would be real hardware but still in some corporate server farm. It just wouldn't be practical for me to own (and maintain) a physical server with an UPS and permanent uplink to the net.

I have my own hosted server on some old nuc pc I got for free. You don't need an UPS or permanent uplink. A blog isn't so important that the world will end if your blog goes offline for a day. How often do you lose power or internet, is that one time a year really that big of a deal?
