# Using
Here is a list of notable equipment and tools I use. The purpose of this list is to remind myself to be intentional about the things that I surround myself with and utilize on a daily basis.

Here are online subscriptions and services that I pay for:
| Subscriptions and Services | Annual USD | Monthly USD | Monthly CAD |
| --------------------------------------- | ---------: | ----------: | ----------: |
| Bitwarden | $10.00 | $0.83 | $1.13 |
| Hover (for domain names) | $54.97 | $4.58 | $6.23 |

| PikaPods (for hosting web apps) | $84.00 | $7.00 | $9.42 |
| Ghost(Pro) (for managing this website!) | $108.00 | $9.00 | $12.24 |
| You Need A Budget | $109.00 | $9.08 | $12.35 |
| Video streaming (various) | $180.00 | $15.00 | $20.40 |
| Totals | $629.73 | $52.48 | $71.27 |
| Subscriptions | Annual USD | Monthly USD | Monthly CAD |

| Bitwarden | $10.00 | $0.83 | $1.19 |
| Hover (domain names) | $55.33 | $4.61 | $6.63 |
| Bear (blogging platform) | $49.00 | $4.08 | $5.89 |
| PikaPods (hosting web apps) | $57.72 | $4.81 | $6.95 |
| Proton (Mail Plus) | $47.99 | $3.99 | $5.74 |
| Discord (Nitro Basic) | $33.89 | $2.82 | $4.05 |
| Spotify (Duo) | $149.40 | $12.45 | $17.89 |
| Video streaming (various) | $166.92 | $13.91 | $20.00 |
| Gaming services | $166.92 | $13.91 | $20.00 |
| **Totals** | **$737.17** | **$61.41** | **$88.34** |
For PikaPods, I have a couple web apps deployed using their managed services:
- [Gitea](https://gitea.com/) for my personal project repositories.
- [Actual](https://actualbudget.org/) for personal budgeting using the envelop method.
- [CommaFeed](https://github.com/Athou/commafeed/) for reading RSS feeds.
- [Navidrome](https://www.navidrome.org/) as my personal music streaming service.
- [Umami](https://umami.is/) for collecting and analyzing visitor metrics.
- [Gitea](https://gitea.com/) for my personal project repositories.
For video streaming, I rotate through a number of services and only subscribe for a month at a time to watch what I want. In some months, I don't have an active subscription running, so this number is a little inflated.
For 2025:
- I intend to stop using YNAB because its subscription cost has significantly increased over the years and no longer feels worth it to me. Currently, considering using [Actual](https://actualbudget.com/) which would only slightly increase my PikaPod costs for an additional managed web app.
- Consider whether Ghost(Pro) is worth it.
Otherwise, I am quite happy with how much I am spending on my online subscriptions. It could be better, but I am satisfied that it is below $100 CAD per month.
