I am trying to capture costs for starting into homelab/selfhosting.

VPNs, search engines, absolutely everything and anything.

  • Domain 15€/yr
  • Music 8.50€/month (trying to convince my girlfriend to move from Spotify to Qobuz

That is it I think. I don't consider internet/water/electricity subscriptions as much as utilities.

Can't really afford anything else right now because my girlfriend as a cafe owner only brings in around 1200€/month or so working >60hr/week and we have a full renovation to pay for.

I want to dedicate like 10-20€/month to FOSS I use once the situation is better.
