The only thing I pay for is Crunchyroll. As for me it’s worth it as I get tons of stuff the watch for £5 a month and it’s also pretty easy to rip anything exclusive. And then I don’t feel like I’m giving nothing back to Japan when I pirate anything they don’t have I want.

I also pay for a VPS, but I’d say that’s renting more then it is a subscription.

Wait so it’s not just that my vps only has 1gb of ram?

You guys with more ram still get crashes?

That’s stunning

Nextcloud, after setting it up it gives me everything I love about Google and Apple’s cloud services without the privacy invasion or any of the other cons. And I even find it more stable and less buggy. 10/10

As someone who is also looking at building a server for different things then you( mainly nextcloud and a few other self hosted services). if you don’t need more then 2tb of storage look into a used HP mini office PC.

• They are cheap at less then £200 for an older model or even sub £100

• They are a lot more powerful then an SBC like a raspberry pi but without being an electricity consumption monster like a lot of servers

• Some have a 60W PSU so they are dirt cheap to run

• Newer ones have a 2.5 SATA slot and a M.2 slot( including the 60W model I’m looking at getting used). So you can have dual drives for a fast main drive and a backup drive or RAID depending on how you set it up

• They are small and don’t take up much room in your house like a raspberry pi

• If you need more space and it doesn’t have to be super fast you could get a USB NAS for it

So overall they are a really good option if you want something small and you don’t have a ton of money for hardware or electricity but a raspberry pi doesn’t fulfil your performance needs.

I left reddit after a few weeks of getting any useful info off my saved list. Honesty I’ve been happier these last couple months. Now I only visit reddit( with an ad blocker, because they ain’t making a penny off me) to read help and old opinion threads when I need the info.

It’s always fun when my Nextcloud server crashes and I lose calendar sync
