    Yeah, I do, I’m spending zero. When a site pops up a ‘SUBSCRIBE’, I click on my site-block extension. It’s like a filter for all the bogus crap out there.

    (100€/month for power)
    (0€/month, soon 16.80€/month, in a few months 64.99€/month for internet)
    (And hopefully soon 100€/month for fiber for my servers) (700€/month for rent)
    ≤ 50€/year for domains
    ~3.5€/month for 1TB Hetzner StorageBox
    35€/month for Twitch Subs
    5€/month for @FQQD@lemmy.ohaa.xyz’s Ko-fi (that broke, but cute, nerdie and headpet-worthy, bastard)
    10€/month as donation to Signal
    10€/month for kagi, though a selfhosted searxng or similar is interesting
    2*58€/month for Deutschland Tickets (unlimited local public passenger transport)

    So, soon ~1080€/month for more or less life necessities, 7.5€/month for useful subscriptions, 10€/month for replaceable subscriptions, 10€/month as donations but 40€/month for subscriptions where a substantial part goes to Amazon.

    Funny thing I noticed when I got into higher level IT and started purchasing.

    Two different companies, both very different in business practices. BOTH hated the idea of subscriptions.

    “Yo, boss, check this requisition for $30/mo.”

    No.

    “Yo, boss, check this requisition for a onetime $3,000.”

    Signed having barely looked at it.

    Having said that, our AWS spend is stunning. $6M/yr. for ALL our software needs. But still, they’re hesitant to add more and my mission now is to dial it in.
