Self-Hosted Main

• CopyMeThat shopping lists, meal plans, recipes. Lifetime price was $25 (which currently brings it to an annual price of $2.8 for me :D), and it has better features than selfhosted versions. Still would like to switch, especially after they had an annoying outage, but still holding out for improvements in the oss versions.
• Nabu Casa Cloud (Home Assistant), mainly to support them, some minor benefits.
• Open AI API, because getting a GPU that can run any decently sized LLM would cost decades of what I pay Open AI ;)
• Backblaze Personal Backups for my PC and B2 for my server
• Mullvad VPN forrrrrrr nothing special.

nextdns really like the custom dns overrides and the great tailscale integration

A few:

1. YT Music
2. 1Password (technically I get it free from work, but I would pay if they switch or I change jobs)
3. Proton VPN , i am grandfathered into an older plan

VPN, Cloud storage, cloud hosting.

I don't exactly have a VPS per se, but rather a CG-NAT bypass server to connect my home server to the open Internet. I sometimes used it as an external backup storage as well, but the server is cheap so the storage space available is minimal.

It's not cheap, but I pay for Spotify because overall I've been pretty happy with it. It has a good selection of features, lots of content, and it works pretty well for the most part. The only real complaint that I have is that the offline mode isn't great.

An actually cheap service that I pay for is addy.io, and even though I haven't been using it much, so far it has been working pretty well.

Google Photos.

I pay $15 a month for unlimited storage.

Photos of my family are of the most important things to me so I'm paying out for guaranteed redundancy.

I still host a local photo storage version but I also backup everything to Google Photos.

(Obvious disclosure, I am the one running the service)

If support for open source is what you are looking for, may I suggest taking a look at Communick? It basically takes the open source alternatives for social media and messaging platforms, and packages them for easy access and setup. There are packages for Mastodon, Lemmy or Matrix each of them for less than $10/year and fully managed. I'm pledging to take 20% of the profits and contribute to the upstream projects.

Bitwarden and Email.

I trust a company like Bitwarden to handle uptime of my password manager more than I do myself. If most of my selfhosted services went down, I'm gonna be a little annoyed, but I can survive. If Bitwarden goes down, that's a real PITA.

And email, because f**k trying to self host email successfully, I've accepted I'll just have to use a commercial provider for emails. I'll try and set up a self hosted server at some point, but on a separate domain and most likely just to mess around/learn.

mullvad is worth it for not having any data caps

I pay migadu to host my custom email domain. Well worth it. I tried self-hosting email, and it was too much of a pain for me.

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

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

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

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.

Proton Mail ($5ish a month for me?), Jira/Conflience (free), and password manager.

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

Real-Debrid. €3/Month.

Too good to pass.

I'm paying a cheap VPS for stuff that I want to be 100% available. Like vaultwarden and Authentik for example.

But services, hmm let me see. Does Netflix count as I have plex? Nvm I pay both monthly, did not buy the plex lifetime pass yet. But for Netflix I recently switched my payment to turkey via vpn. Price is less than 1/3rd now.

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

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.

I think my domain is basically what I pay for.
