[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.

Fastmail and nextdns. I'm still paying for iCloud, but I intend to move everything to my local server.

I go on and off streaming services: Disney, Hulu, Netflix, HBO.

Amazon Prime, which includes a bunch of goodies.

Kindle Unlimited. I usually wait for promotions since there isn't a ton of material I like that I haven't read yet. Also I'm rather busy lately.

What do you use nextdns for? Whats the difference between this and a vpn?
