just cancel all subscriptions. None of them are worth it
Bitwarden is worth it. (Yes, I know, I should self host it. I do, but I still see it as a good deal.) Also Hetzner is a good subscription. So yes, some are worth it
Agreed:
-Bitwarden
-Storage Share
-ControlD
-Real debrid
Backblaze as well. Can’t believe they let me store 20TB of backups for $10/mo.
By there site its more like $120 a month?
Just do the cheap unlimited personal plan and hook up a shit load of external HDDs to your PC. I have a system where my NAS syncs to my PC which syncs to Backblaze so I can sorta hack my way into unlimited NAS backup for $10/mo.
3-2-1 backup where the primary source of data is the NAS, on site backup is desktop PC external HDDs, off site backup is Backblaze.
That's an insanely good deal! I should move pict-rs to backblaze on my Lemmy server
So, only cheap services are worth it?
Are there some expensive services that are worth it? not just that they increase their price just because.
Don't get me wrong, I want more examples (and I am a happy subscriber of Real-Debrid for years already).
Nice example, thank you!
As I have said previously, Hetzner is most definetly worth it and it can be expensive. I can't think of any more examples tho 😅
Well, I use what I need. I'm not going to pay an expensive service just because. For instance, I wouldn't pay for Proton. It'd be quite useless (and expensive) for my use case. I do have a paid Zoho email account, tho.
Object storage is indeed insanely cheap
Out of curiosity, what do you do with all that storage? Can't imagine I'd ever need that much personally
