Approved Bots
Seedbox (+included vpn)
Usenet
YT Prem
Spotify
Ionos Mail
O365 (but I bought vouchers for 3 years at a reduced price)
-> I prefer Outlook over Thunderbird. Though with the new interface they had done I will probably migrate to it once it expires. The OneDrive storage is used for Obsidian.md. I store obsidian locally but sync it with the community plugin "remotely save").
Bitwarden
1 or 2 items I don't remember right now.
- Protonmail
- Spotify
- Kagi search
- a handful of servers scattered in DigitalOcean, Hetzner, and AWS
- Sendgrid
A couple of video streaming services, Hulu, which includes Disney+, Discovery+ and Netflix. That totals up to like $50/mo or so.
Other than that, it's aaaallllll independent creators, through Twitch or Patreon.
Google One, Spotify, Netflix and Nebula.

- proton VPN
- purelymail
I'm a software engineer as well, but (almost) none of my subscriptions are related to that. Currently:
- Netflix
- Disney+ bundle
- Bitwarden (yearly)
- DNS names (yearly) - currently unused because I bailed on Vultr due to TOS BS; this is for personal projects
- Tiller (yearly) - pulls transactions from my various accounts
That's about it. Everything else I buy one at a time, like video games or donations.
I'd like to drop Netflix and Disney+ over their stupid ad policy, but my wife and kids use them a lot.
Here's some stuff I plan to get soon:
- VPN - probably Mullvad
- Tuta - finally axe Google
- VPS - probably Hetzner; I'd prefer one without forced arbitration though; could get by if something like Tailscale allowed custom domains and port forwards
- Backblaze B2 - backups
- AWS Cloud services
- Azure devops build services
- OpenAI API
- JetBrains Toolbox
- OneDrive
- Protonmail
just for pia vpn since i don't trust free vpns, also try claude opus instead of chatgpt, it's better imo.
ProtonMail and Spotify. I'm also paying for one podcast but I do it voluntarily.
Edit: and Mullvad
Mythic beasts server hosting, namecheap domain hosting.
Bitwarden and a domain, if it counts.
For me, as an SRE:
- Mullvad VPN
- Google Drive (until I set up my NAS)
- YouTube Premium
- ChatGPT (but I am thinking of trying out Claude 3 instead)
Other, non-tech subscriptions:
- Public transport
- Public bike sharing
- Food delivery
Things I might pay for if my employer didn't:
- IntelliJ Ultimate
- GitHub Copilot
Random IT-adjacent services I occasionally donate to:
- Codeberg
- Wikipedia
Express VPN for foreign free to air TV, ad blocking on multiple devices. 200gb Google Cloud storage. Vultr VPN for Wireguard.
YouTube music only, unfortunately. Unfortunate not because it's the only expense of its type that I have, but because like so many Google products it's a worse version of something they used to offer for free. And there isn't a good alternative that I've found yet, and no music streaming service pays the artists anything worth mentioning.
Just a vpn
