Second SEO target after Sirius. Pithos positioned honestly as
"decentralized cloud storage you own" — the software is free, the
Sia storage underneath is pay-only-for-use (cents per GB/month).
Overpromising "free cloud storage" would catch Sirius-style backlash
when visitors hit the Sia bill, so the hook is sovereignty + 5–10×
cheaper, not free.

site-pithos-sia/index.html:
  * Title / meta / H1 rewritten benefit-first: "Decentralized cloud
    storage you own — Pithos". Keyword meta added.
  * canonical set to /pithos-sia/ with trailing slash — matches
    nginx's own 301 target (opposite of /sirius, which strips it).
  * Hero copy leads with no-subscription, no-credit-card, pay-per-GB.
  * FAQ expanded from 10 to 14 questions. Five new keyword-phrased
    ones at the top ("Is Pithos really free?", "How much does Sia
    cost compared to Dropbox?", "Is my data encrypted?", "Is Pithos
    a good Dropbox alternative?", "Do I need a credit card?"); the
    existing operational FAQ stays verbatim.
  * JSON-LD: SoftwareApplication schema (version 0.3.12, price $0,
    linked to Sia + s3d upstreams) + FAQPage mirroring all 14 Q&A.
    Both parse cleanly.
  * Top nav gains Compare link; cost FAQ links to the comparison.

site-pithos-sia/vs.html (new): 7-way comparison across Dropbox,
Google Drive, Mega, iCloud/OneDrive, Backblaze B2, Storj, and
Pithos+Sia. Columns for price per TB, signup, credit-card
requirement, encryption model, key custody, censorship risk,
S3-compat, open source, sync-across-devices, collab editing.
Includes BreadcrumbList + Article JSON-LD and a cost-at-size table
showing the 5–10× advantage at common storage sizes.

site/sitemap.xml: raised pithos to 0.95 priority (same tier as
sirius) and added /pithos-sia/vs. Trailing slashes corrected to
match the server's canonical form.
