[non self hosted] : Cheap Services You Still Pay For (alien.top)

My Bitwarden renewal came through this morning. It's still $10 per year. I was about to cancel, but I thought what the heck at $10, I'll keep it on out of principle and to show support.

I also have a tutanota encrypted email, which costs little more than pocket change over the year. I hardly use it, but it's there.

I wondered then, if this community had any little gems to share - services they pay for that are let's say under $30 annually. I think we can exclude VPS, since lots of people will probably have them already.

I'm going to cross post at /r/opensource too.

Backblaze b2 backup. I'm backing up almost 500gb of personal data (compressed and only things I can't get back easy) for less than $2\month.

What tool do you use for the backup? I use rclone to achieve end to end encryption. Don't know how much data I have but I'm charged every few months once the incurred charges go above $0.50

I switched from rclone to restic. Rclone is primarily built for file syncing, not backups. Whereas restic is always encrypted and supports incremental backups, chunk based deduplication, and snapshot history, diffs, and pruning. You can even use rclone as a backend for restic, should you so desire.
