I just made a server, download 4k content on a pirate site. Spend around 5€ for my mullvad VPN. And we don’t even need to go to the cinema anymore. Which is like 15€ per ticket at least. We do it sometimes for a date to get out of the house. But it just gets expensive very fast once you get candy and drinks.

I have an old PC with a gtx 1070 with 2tb ssd and 24 GB of hard drives, all bought before the AI price hikes of course. I am already at a net win.

If I pay for YouTube premium, Netflix, disney, amazon prime, HBO max, spotify. I have to spend around 70 euros a month. (4k content or family pack)

Ah nice didn’t know this, good there’s another battle tested VPN out there, left pia back in the days due to terrible speeds though, but I guess that’s sorted after all these years

Audits don’t mean shit IMO, mullvad got raided by Swedish police and the police were allowed to see the logs and stated there’s no logs on the servers.

The only true and tested nolog VPN provider ever.

Never had a website or service deny an email change in my 25 years of being on the internet. But you can move all the other stuff to a different email and keep the ones you can’t change on your gmail. Still a better choice than giving all your data to google.

No alternative? Immich and Ente are definitely an alternative Google Photos. It ain’t that hard to degoogle these days.
