Steam games/Valve.
I dont know if this counts/its a hot take.
It really depends on the game tbh(some regret some dont)
I appreciate their work on Proton.
And Steam is the only website I can really buy video games from.Mullvad

I used to pay for a lot more until the last election and I found out how many companies backed fascism. Not with my dollar you wont!edit: $5 a month for PBS also.
my 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.

I don’t actually pay for this, because the free tier is good enough for my personal needs, but Tailscale is amazing and has totally changed my relationship with self-hosting and web services.
I know that you can roll your own VPN WAN using wireguard or whatever, but honestly Tailscale makes it pretty foolproof, and that’s allowed me to access all of my self-hosted stuff from anywhere with minimal screwing around. The first time I logged into my Jellyfin and Finamp from outside the house, I was pretty much hooked. If I could easily and safely host public game servers for my wider group of friends I would be even more into it and would definitely pay for a higher tier.
NextDNS, Kagi.
Currently, Mullvadvpn.
I’ve paid for Proton Unlimited but I’m letting that expire and moving to alternatives.
You can check out Windscribe.
I looked at Windscribe’s site. I find black theme too difficult to read. If I can’t investigate a service for whatever reason, including website design, I don’t use it.
Crunchyroll is fairly inexpensive for how much I use it. Been keeping up with current running seasons a lot more than when I yarhar’d everything (though I keep a small stash of my favorites on one hard drive).
I’ve gladly donated to some of my favorite YouTubers (Legends of Avantris, MinMaxedRPG, and others).
Dashlane password manager. Just worth it.
I switched away from NameCheap to a Canadian domain registrar after swearing off American software where possible. They’ve been great. It’s a smaller company so I’ve gotten really quick responses on tickets I’ve put in
Good reminder, my domain is up soon and I need to do the same.

Various Patreons and also Dropout. I also regularly donate to the xkit lady for her work making Tumblr usable. Oh! and Dominion.games.
My DNS root. Good mail hosting.
Which root server letter did you get assigned?
Ah, bummer. Slightly put wrong and you called me out rightly.
My tld to be provided on a root. I was in the wrong mindset. Apologies!
I wasn’t meaning for it to be calling out so much as attempted humorous way of misunderstanding / literally interpreting your post 😅
I’m still not fully sure what you mean though. Does “root” mean VPS here (a system which you have root access to), and “tld” a domain name or even the DNS server for it?
Ah, no worries! It’s purely about DNS!
If you own a DNS zone you need to have that hosted somewhere in a datacenter.
So say you own example.com you need to have a server (but usually a more redundant setup) that is queried for everything regarding that: which ip(s) is www.example.com, where does the mail go, some other settings (time to live), all subdomains, text records (various purposes).
bitwarden, wikipedia
also, not really paying for patreon, but I’m using it to pay DJPeachCobbler for his amazing videos on history
To get AI analysis on my games.
