Apple One (with music, TV, and storage space + additional storage space) - 64.98 PLN ~~ $16.86 monthly
Fastmail (for my wife and me) - 415 PLN ~~ $100 per year
Allegro Smart (like Amazon Prime but for the Polish Amazon alternative) - 59.90 PLN ~~ $14.45 per year
Amazon Prime - 50 PLN ~~ $12 per year
1Password - 312 PLN ~~ $75 per year
Mobile phone with 45GB of a really good, 5G network - 35 PLN ~~ $8.5 per month
iPad internet - 29 PLN ~~ $7 per month
Adobe - 135 PLN ~~ $32.5 per month
Now let’s move on to entertainment:
HBO - 20 PLN ~~ $4.85 per month (we got locked in at some introductory price and it’s still going strong)
Apple Music & Apple TV - 0 because it’s already included in the Apple One subscription
YouTube Premium - 46.99 PLN ~~ $11.30 per month
And finally, hobbies:
micro.blog - 210 PLN ~~ $50 per year
Hetzner VPS for forum.yeswas.pl and wspanialy.eu - 53 PLN ~~ $12.77 per month
Backblaze B2 backup - 6 PLN ~~ $1.45 per month
BunnyCDN - 4.15 PLN ~~ $1 per month
Mailgun - 4.15 PLN ~~ $1 per month
Telegram - 9.99 PLN ~~ $2.4 per month
So to sum it up, it’s about 470 PLN per month, which translates to about $115 per month. Could it be lower? Definitely, but we agreed that what we have here is low enough for us to keep it. Streaming services are obviously the first to be cut if needed, but for now, it’s okay.
We used to have subscriptions for Netflix (which was about 70 PLN ~~ $17) and Disney (289 PLN ~~ $70 per year), but we stopped paying for them because who actually has enough time to consume that amount of media? HBO and ATV+ are enough, and when they aren’t, we can always use our locally hosted Plex machine (which we do for content that’s unavailable otherwise!).
So, to continue this discussion - how about you? What is your monthly subscription payment?
New M3 Macs looks fine enough to get upgrade. The one that interests me the most is about 11500 pln ($2755 with taxes) so it’s not that bad, but I’m gonna wait a couple months and snag it on 1-2k pln discount because of course they will be that cheaper in ~Feb.
I broke OS on not one but two different Raspberry Pies I’ve got at home. Not looking forward to spinning them up again from scratch unfortunately but I have to. Sounds like weekend/Friday plans are made up…
I guess everyone will raise prices for streaming but there’s this one place that will always have movies and tv shows for free and I’m not saying anything but I guess I am?
Yea somehow I doubt that my data is perfectly safe and private because if it really was that, then GDPR wouldn’t do any harm to you! And - after 5 years - it’s still unavailable here. I love European Union and how law (GDPR in this case) is actually making these shitty services disappear from EU!
About me being close to new hetzner server yesterday - I was actually thinking of getting YunoHost for my wife and myself. I didn’t do a thing though because was too asleep but I think this day will come.
I don’t even need to host anything new and I’m not ready to take on another wspanialy-related journey. Still researched the best VPSes to propably buy and use.
I wish that DuckDuckGo was actually good instead of being “good enough and if it isn’t good I can always use !g bang to search google!”. If you always “bang” yourself out of DDG - it just isn’t that good, you don’t have to lie to yourself.
