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.

Aside from the VPS and object storage for housing Leminal Space, just Proton Mail. And The Anfield Wrap if we're counting podcasts.
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.
- ChatGPT
- Midjourney
- YouTube Premium (which I get through a mobile phone subscription at a heavy discount)
- Spotify
- Channel4 ad-free (UK broadcaster)
In addition I support a range of software through GitHub and Patreon:

- Gluetun
- Little Navmap
- wg-easy
- DuckDNS
Finally I’ve got paid access to a couple of major and minor media sources:
- Washington Post
- Jyllands Posten (largest Danish newspaper)
- Olfi (specialised Danish defense news, named after a Danish frigate Olfert Fisher)
- Krigskunst (“The Art of War”, specialised Danish defense podcast)
- Det Hemmeligste at Det Hemmelige (podcast about spy craft and stay behind movements during the Cold War - just gone behind a pay wall but used to run on a public service channel)
- Mullvad

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.

1Pass NordVpn ChatGPT YouTube Premium
- 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.
How do I webhost with Hetzner? I want to get into server hosting and Hetzner is a small business with a good price, but the learning curve is so steep.

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.
spotify, NextDNS, 1password, lifetime pcloud, Microsoft 365 on annual sales, notesnook. I guess I donate to my mastodon/Lemmy instance and immich development.
Just a VPS. £4/month.
Surfshark VPN and YouTube premium. Recently cancelled Netflix and Amazon prime. Not much but I've had enough of subscriptions.
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
Mythic beasts server hosting, namecheap domain hosting.
