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.
I pay like $5 a month for web hosting. Not worth it to self-host a public e-commerce site on my own network.
Bitwarden & PurelyMail for me.
I have just loaded $10 initially for PurelyMail & it works great for simple outbound emails from my homelab services.
Bitwarden & PurelyMail for me.
I’m using PurelyMail with my own domain but frustratingly emails from my homelab are being blocked by apple.
I guess it’s the reputation of my Domain? I’ve setup SPF, DKIM and DMARC but no dice.
I’ve (recently) started using Cloudflare for my nameservers so thinking about setting up their DMARK and possibly even move my Domain over to them from IONOS. If it makes any difference, who knows.
Im into fitness so: Lose it! and Hevy (dont know if there are good selfhosted alternatives)
Mullvad Bitwarden Goodnotes cuz im studying right now and make notes on my iPad
I don’t know how many times I have to say this: selfhosting is about more than saving money.
In other words, sometimes paying for a service you could selfhost is the right call. In most cases, if you can manage a self-hosting setup, your time is worth more than the cost of cloud services. TBH, I do it for data governance reasons more than cost.
It’s not either/or and it’s not about going “off-grid” for a lot of people.
