My financial /spending data has a price

• email
• Nebula
• Kagi
• domains and VPSes
• VPN
• windyty

• YouTube Premium
• Netflix
• Torguard VPN
• Google One for storage

That's about it. I don't use ChatGPT often enough to sub. I sometimes subscribe to Canva Pro if I have a project ongoing.

• Mullvad
• 1Password
• pCloud
• Kagi
• Real Debrid
• YouTube Premium
• Posteo
• Deezer
• Qobus
• Tidal Hifi

(Yes i listen a lot to music)

Pcloud, NordVPN, Tidal, reMarkable sync

I'd use Obsidian Sync too if I used Obsidian across devices. I just back my vaults up in the cloud.

Only a 3.50€ VPS on OVH. Gets the job done. For music I just use firehawk52’s Deezer ARLs to download the music. For TV shows/movies the obvious is piracy. The whole subscription model drives me away from services.

Surfshark VPN and YouTube premium. Recently cancelled Netflix and Amazon prime. Not much but I've had enough of subscriptions.

Mullvad and Tuta are the only services I pay for monthly

I give some bucks to disroot for email and cloud services and I donate monthly to a local server that hosts a mastodon instance and some other goodies. I occasionally donate to some software projects

My partner subscribes to media services which I use too, like max, Spotify and others.

1Pass NordVpn ChatGPT YouTube Premium

spotify, NextDNS, 1password, lifetime pcloud, Microsoft 365 on annual sales, notesnook. I guess I donate to my mastodon/Lemmy instance and immich development.

Bitwarden

Proton Family

Spotify Family

Nintendo online

1 small Contabo VPS to host rocket chat

1 larger Contabo VPS for my main Nextcloud and Immich instances

• Bitwarden
• Addy.io
• Backblaze B2 (technically not a subscription)
• Managed Nextcloud (Hetzner)
• Webhosting (Hetzner)

I'm a student and I don't work that much so I try to keep the costs down. I considered selfhosting Nextcloud but it doesn't seem worth it for now.

Just a VPS. £4/month.
