Mine is 100% ChatGPT at the moment

SaaS = Software as a Service (e.g. MullvadVPN)

SaaS?

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Software as a service. Cloud basically...

[–] Gnorv@feddit.de 0 points 7 months ago

Ah, I see. Then it would be Tuta for mail and Mullvad for VPN.

None of them are FOSS. Dunno about calling them SaaS.

My email provider, 1 € per month, posteo.de.
My VPS (virtual private server), netcup.de.
Does Amazon Prime count?

Tuta

Mullvad is the only one, though it's in large part due to me not being in a situation where I have any important software needs in my personal life, meaning I can get away with just free options and cracked versions whenever I need something.

I really want to switch to Mullvad but it's difficult for me to justify 5€ a month when other VPN services regularly have specials offering US$2 a month if I prepay 2 years

[–] melooone@feddit.de 0 points 7 months ago

If you just want to change your IP, there is no reason to use Mullvad. If you care about your privacy Mullvad is great. You can pay in xmr or even in cash by mail.

Bitwarden: I could host it myself, but it's better if it is secretly elsewhere in case I need up...
Backblaze: backups from my server (to which everything else will soon backup to)
Spotify: it's convenient
GPhotos: until I'm done migrating to Immich locally
PIA: yarr, and also avoiding region stuff

Hardware and hypervisors as a service so to say
