Really just curious what folks out there deem valuable enough to give money for monthly or annually. As a software engineer I have quite a few that keep me productive and I'll list a few:

ChatGPT
Perplexity
Obsidian Sync
YouTube Premium

ChatGPT
YouTube Premium
DoorDash
ProtonMail
Google (storage)
Apple (storage)
MLB (game audio)
GitHub Premium
Various Twitch Streamers
Dropout
Apple Music

I think that’s it. I would subscribe to Port87, but I made it, so I don’t need to.

I understand that that’s a lot of subscriptions. I used to have a lot more, and I’ve been slowly unsubscribing.

I’ve almost replaced ProtonMail with Port87, so that will be the next to go. I like ProtonMail, but I only subscribed so that I could do the things Port87 does automatically. I’ll still subscribe to Proton VPN though. I need that for… Linux ISOs.

I’ve also almost replaced Google Photos with Immich, so that will go soon too.

I’m thinking about replacing Apple Music with a self hosted option.

I also am finding ChatGPT less and less useful as open source LLMs get closer in quality.

Can you please link a guide to how to setup open source LLMs or some list so that I can look it up?
