Setting another file like ~/.wgetrc, source: the Stack Overflow answer 54843736, is quite against why I want to get rid of it.

The Stack Overflow answer 48415198 is not very satisfying from this point of view as well.

The Stack Overflow comment 140351573 would help, but let us keep liking the idea of ~/.wget-hsts.
