Not all subscription based services are malicious. Case in point: Bitwarden is incredibly cheap (10€ per year) and is the best password manager I have ever used. Also services that need constant upkeep costs, such as your carrier, ISP, perhaps even a VPS (I use Hetzner for that), have simply no way to be one-time payments.

l meant online subscription services like Neftlix, not things like ISP and services that is impossible to be one-time payment

There was some drama recently with Bitwarden. They sorted it out now but it nearly became enshitified.

  Eh, everything points to a mistake. Bitwarden not only rectified it ASAP but also made the switch to GPLv3. The latter is not just something you do to please people, you need to understand the legal ramifications it can have on your business, so it very likely was a change that’s been discussed before all of this.

KeepassX and Syncthing. Perfect.

  I tried keepass, but the autofill is subpar at best. Also, the syncing is a bit hard to set up and often fails because of conflicts.

  Adding an X does nothing to counteract my instinct to read it as “keep ass” every time 😄
