I’ve never done this before, but here we go. #### Apps and services **Adobe Photography Plan**: 3,823.20 INR/year. I use Photoshop regularly and Lightroom sometimes. I like the Lightroom mobile app. **Bear Blog**: I pay yearly using purchasing power parity (thanks, Herman). Two years in, I’m planning to go lifetime next year. **Voicenotes.com**: 50 USD for lifetime (2024). Early adopter and daily user of this product. They've recently removed the believer plan. **OneDrive Personal**: 4,899 INR/year. 1TB of cloud storage and MS gimmicks. **LetsVPN**: 26.76 USD/month (4 accounts). Reliable in China but limited to 2 profiles per account, so I run four of these. My backups are OpenVPN and Shadowsocks configs on RackNerd and DigitalOcean servers. For users outside China, Nord or Proton might be a better pick. #### Streaming **Prime Video**: 1,499 INR /year. Decent content, though regional restrictions can be frustrating. **Netflix Mobile**: 149 INR/month. iPad-friendly, and there’s always something new to explore. **Shudder**: 6.99 USD/month. I’m new here and haven’t decided whether to switch to the yearly plan yet. #### VPS **RackNerd**: 16.98 USD/year (2GB RAM, 30GB KVM VPS) & 38.88 USD/year (3.5GB RAM, 80GB KVM VPS). Both based on Ubuntu 22.04 64 Bit. **DigitalOcean**: 3 droplets. Bills covered by referral credits. #### Domains Yes, there's a [problem here](https://mgx.me/a-reality-check-on-my-unused-domain-names), and I'm working on fixing it. - **Porkbun**: 66.23 USD/year - **Dynadot**: 457 CNY/year - **Namecheap**: 15.16 USD/year - **zone.ee**: 25.11 EUR/year - **Cloudflare**: 22 USD/year - **spaceship.com**: 34.04 USD/year - **nic.org.mt**: 8.47 EUR/year. *(Malta’s nodal agency offers two-letter .mt domains at cheaper rates)* - **upflare.com**: 26.97 EUR/year. *(Best for .al domains at competitive prices)* - **rumahweb.com**: 450,000 IDR/year. *(Best for .id and .my.id domains)* I'll revisit this page next year.
