This post is at least a year old.
After 3+ years on GitHub Pages (and as many years without HTTPS), blog.yossarian.net is now self-hosted and fully encrypted.
The setup was surprisingly simple:
blog.yossarian.net and www.blog.yossarian.net to the server that hosts
yossarian.netserver blocks, one providing a HTTP 301 redirect)certbot-auto --extend to extend my existing Let’s Encrypt cert to the new subdomainsdeploy.sh script:1

Running deploy.sh is one extra step compared to the automatic build and deployment process
provided by GitHub Pages, but it’s a trivial one. It also gives me more control over my site’s build
process — I’m no longer bound to GitHub’s transition away from
redcarpet support (or other future changes).
