ChatGPT, server hosting (DigitalOcean) for a personal blog, Kagi Search

What does Kagi offer that is useful to you and Google doesn’t?

I just ended my one-month trial that cost $10. To be honest, I couldn't justify the price, so I'm going back to using Google or DuckDuckGo.

Do you follow a particular methodology with your note taking ?

ChatGPT, LinkedIn Premium (purchased at a 50% discount), Infinity for browsing Reddit on Android, Spotify, and YouTube Premium.

Among these, Spotify seems the least worthwhile to me. However, since YouTube Premium does the job and both are cheap, I keep subscriptions to both.

PIA VPN, Protonmail, Ngrok.

Curious question, why pay for Ngrok when so many free and open source alternatives exist? https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling

I may not be the best person to ask, but after countless tweaks, I’ve settled on using a single daily note to unload everything on my mind and then forget about it.
