So there is a project that you care enough about to keep it alive, but 1-2 hours every FOUR YEARS is too much? At some point I just have to call you lazy dude.

Either the 1-2 hours is a drop in the bucket compared to what you spend on it anyway (like a blog you still regularly update), or you don't actively update the project but still care enough about it to spend half an evening every few years, or you should just admit you don't care about it enough anymore to do even that. In the last case just delete the project.

It can be way more than 2 hours depending on the project.

Yes, I'm lazy. And that's fine.

I want the machine that serves my static blog pages to have, ideally, 0 maintenance.

It needs to do one thing, serve some static HTTP pages and have new pages pushed to it.

Quite frankly I wish some of those "minimal docker first OSs" had taken off.

If you want 0 maintenance, then you don't want to run your own infrastructure. Go give NearlyFreeSpeech or some other shared host a few cents every month and you'll be much happier.

Hilariously I pay less for a vultr box than what nearlyfreespeech charges.

Vultr is really damn cheap.
