[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.

VPS for wire guard tunnel, because fucking ISP CGNAT $5/month

Usenet provider and private indexer roughly $10/month

$5/m is pretty expensive for a VPS if you're just using it for Wireguard. A $15/year 2 GB RAM / 20-ish GB SSD VPS would be totally fine for that use case.

Black Friday is coming up... The best time of year for VPS deals. Even without Black Friday deals, providers like GreenCloudVPS (their "Budget KVM" packages) and RackNerd have good deals.
