[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.

Usenet provider and private indexer roughly $10/month

I should try those... I can never force myself to use them, but I bet they are amazing to have.

I'm tired of torrents...

I made the switch in the summer of 2022 after nearly two decades of exclusively using torrents. I'll never go back to torrents for anything media related again.
