Kagi. https://kagi.com
Best search engine I’ve ever used.
Incogni
Probably saily if I start travelling again.
Proton stuff.
I’m going to be switching all my nord stuff to proton I think as I’m finding nord getting incredibly unstable on their marketing. One moment they have meshnet. Then nope. Next moment yes. Oh but now incogni is no longer included. Probably because nord is unstable.
- Kagi Search - I prefer Kagi to avoid misaligned incentives, and it aggregates all major indexes plus their small web index, which is great, so I never miss a result.
- Windscribe VPN - This is a fucking need for me.
- addy.io - It’s just $12/year and gives me great comfort.
Is kagi any good to filter out AI generated slop web pages?
Right now the only thing I have a subscription for, as a college student fortunate enough to be living at home, is Proton. Don’t like the whole Lumo AI thing and don’t really trust they ain’t scraping all my data for it, but I still have months before my subscription ends.
The VPN is nice enough and the attached email is kinda cool, I guess. Definitely been making use of both, so no complaints for now.
Kagi Search, it’s such a small thing but it radically de-sloppifies your browsing experience
I enjoy it but it also feels overpriced at $10 USD.
that is a valid point tbf
but you can halve it if make a family accoubt with friends :)
Kagi.com - excellent search engine. Yes, it shouldn’t be needed, but in this day and age it clearly is. Excellent slop filter, and it let’s you downrank and uprank certain sites in your search results. And I just found out you can see the most popular sites for each category, so it’s fast and easy to see which sites probably are and aren’t worth having in your results at all. It makes internet search feel like it did 20 years ago.
Namecheap.com - It’s where I have my domain names. Mostly because they aren’t godaddy.
EDIT: Forgot to mention hetzner.
Names heap also offer to hide your domain owner details from the public for fred
Same. Love Kagi. Tried going without for a while, and the difference was stark. Re-upped, and all is now right with my search world.
What I pay for:
- Mullvad
- Addy.io
- Tutamail
What I “pay” for (through donations, if that counts):
- The EFF
- Wikipedia
- GrapheneOS
- Asahi Linux
- Python
I don’t really subscribe to much, but I’m definitely looking to expand the latter list, so I’ll probably start donating to the maintainers of ad blocker filter lists and seek out more organizations fighting the good fight.
Oh shit I forgot, Mullvad is such a given that I didn’t even consider it a paid service, it’s more like a utility bill for me, like electricity or broadband access.
I cannot overstate how legit they are, if there is one company on the planet I trust like my family it’s them. Don’t ask how I know, but I have first hand information the lengths they go to to protect their customers. It’s run by Swedish 80’s OG hackers who have NO need for the money, they’re involved in other projects and have fuck you money, this is an idealist run outfit and they are legit as a MOTHERfuk. Trust that. They are on OUR side, they are TRON as far as I’m concerned, they fight for the user!
A domain.
Got any suggestions on hosting that’s not squarespace or otherwise ridiculously expensive? just need a simple site and some links… already own the domain
bitwarden, wikipedia
also, not really paying for patreon, but I’m using it to pay DJPeachCobbler for his amazing videos on history
Joplin cloud. I use the shit out of it and it’s a great project.
Yeah I just wish they had more options to use à custom cloud
Which plan do you have? Is the Pro version better with “Email to note”?
Curious because I used that in the past but stopped I don’t remember why.
NextDNS. $20/year for basically no ads on any device.
RackNerd for my VPSs (3 of them right now)
Mullvad VPN
NextDNSmy personal economy is hanging by a thread so no expenses that are not strictly necessary.
I’ve been there. Hope it gets better for you.
Ill tell ya. I have been here before myself. More than once. But also not. never this bad before.
Apple One Premier bundle and YouTube Premium are the two subscriptions I deem essential in my life. I wouldn’t say I shill for them, but I definitely do think they’re essential for me.
Apple One Premier has:
Apple TV (I use a lot)
Apple Music (I use a lot)
Apple Fitness+ (I use moderately)
Apple News+ (I use a lot)
Apple Arcade (I use moderately)
2TB of iCloud Storage (I use a lot)
Optional Peacock reduced subscription fee (I don’t use)
All of it is sharable with 5-6 Apple family members too.
