Immediately lost credibility when he pushes AI slop as a priority right in the beginning of the article.
I’ll probably get accused of shilling, but I just saved about 50% of my hosting bill moving from Digital Ocean to Hostinger.
To be honest I wouldn’t go for proton as the privacy laws in Switzerland turned/are turning for the worst. https://www.heise.de/en/news/Surveillance-Proton-relocates-parts-of-its-infrastructure-from-Switzerland-10538664.html
Which is why they are migrating into the EU.
Wait, to save 500e you need to spend at least 500e. Where is all this money going???
Frankly, even though they are not European, I would go ghost.org instead of Nazi supporter Substack. As a bonus, they are cheaper and Fediverse integrated too.

Jesus… I didn’t know people live like that. Cloud sever is like 5 euros/month. Self host ownCloud, bitwarden and you have half of that covered. Proton makes sense here but the first setup is insane.
Totally off topic, but this wins the “worst pie chart of 2025” category for me. Absolutely horrendous. I had to look twice (gross) to make sure I’m really seeing what I’m seeing.
Self hosting is not for average Joe. Even for skilled people is quite some work and maintenance.
Of course but this guy is not an average Joe. Paying for AWS, cloud storage, todo list and password manager looks strange. But I’m glad he’s found the way :)
True. That’s what I pay on Hetzner for my VPS. Because I’m lazy I pay an extra for their NextCloud hosted solution. In the VPS, among other things, I have OnlyOffice, that integrates directly with NextCloud, solving my office needs.
That’s where I took the price from. Hetzner rules :)
I wish there were an EU alternative to Kagi. All other search engines pale in comparison and I just can’t deal with ads any more. I can only hope that Proton are looking in to search
Have you already had a look at https://metager.de/?
No trial? Any way to test it before paying?
I hadn’t heard of that. Thanks! I will take a look
