Spotify. Todoist and bitwarden.

I only pay for iCloud+ for mail

Fastmail. Left Gmail for it like a decade ago and have been happy with it ever since. It really is fast.

Not vps but adjacent: I have a Dreamhost storage account to sync my Joplin notes. It's so very very smol it barely costs anything. The notes are E2EE with a key I own.

Why not just self host Bitwarden, or Vaultwarden?

Noip $25/year

Unsure if this classifies as cheap but:

• BitWarden
• AnonAddy - I use the extension and create an email for every website. Wish I knew this years ago.
• Proton Unlimited for email and VPN
• YouTube Premium - I watch a lot of YT and this is a great use of money. YT Music has also great radio station generation, in fact I think better than Spotify and Apple Music in my experience.
• Apple Music for the car and less less/Atmos audio. It’s lovely in the living room.

Quite a bit of stuff: Fastmail, domain registrar, Spotify, Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Microsoft Office 365 Family subscription (includes 1 Tb storage for 6 family members), GitHub copilot.

Pushover

I pay for my own domain name hands down the best investment, as little as 1€ per month and you get a lot more option for your homeland/vps/mail or whatever you have.

Bitwarden.. for me its for 2 reasons. One I dont have to deal with keeping something that needs to be super secure up to date. and 2 it help continue the project and its 10 bucks. I spend more then that one dumber stuff.

Strongbox App for iOs, allows me to access my Keepass password file on my iPhone.

I think my domain is basically what I pay for.

Real-Debrid. €3/Month.

Too good to pass.

Email (Tutanota), Cloud backups (B2), VPN (Mullvad)

spotify. It just works and has most music I want to.

nordVPN - not sure if it is good, but I wanted to have a vpn service.

ditched netflix recently due to woke culture.

oh, and cheap domain. But that cannot be self-hosted.

An AWS S3 bucket to sync important files off site. £1 a month.

I don't get this. So bitwarden knows all your passwords? Doesn't that kind of make you feel uneasy?

Even though I have a lifetime LastPass subscripion I still choose to pay the $10 bucks and stay with Bitwarden not just becuse I wanted the yubikey support, its also just so simple to use and I love its simplicity. Its also polite and does not bring any extra bloatware. Its really quite good value. It just does its job really nicely

I pay for a small VPS thats running my mail server and other extremely important services.

a .xyz domein .i just can be botherd to paying a lot for a domein . 2x dedicated servers for all the thing i self host.(28 euro with a 6 tb space total between the 2)(oneprovider decent space /speed but old hardware/isos /their raid options kinda suck)

kinda wish they kept there images up to date .it sucks to update ubuntu with ofline repo mirrors .i keep using debian because of it

​

i am also planning on maybe getting a cheap license trough patrion for photoprism

(i dont have a creditcard being a person in the eu .leaving me with only paypal as a payment option)

​

i would like to suport more opensource projects.

but im constraind mostly by my hosting cost /buget

Obsidian

Deezer - better sound quality than Spotify - good family plan Bitwarden - of course MS365 - family plan for $100 a year. 1Tb cloud storage, and all the MS apps for 5 up to ppl

BackBlaze, 1Password, mxroute, Spotify, different usenet indexers

Thats about it

1. Borgbase for server backup
2. Vps for CGNAT
3. Protonvpn/Mullvad
4. Tutanota (Although I don't like the recent changes they are making)

Don't know if donations count but I try to periodically donate to these projects I could not live without

1. Signal
2. Grapheneos
3. Fdroid
4. Smarttube

I'd likely start paying for bitwarden even though I don't have much need for any premium services because just realized this is one of those services I can't live without.
