What are your favourite, or least favourite but necessary, cost-cutting methods?

I feel I am spending too many resources on unnecessary stuff.

Edit: I feel the need to reduce both – the resources, to host multiple things on one system, and cost, to buy/pay for multiple systems. Currently, I have 2 ARM VPSes and 1 old MacBook Air as a home server.

    The usage for curl is quite interesting. Personally, perhaps I'd like a simple GUI where I can select the date and time and the message for the reminder.

    I use nfs or samba for filesharing, but a webserver works well too.

    What is your opinion on OCI container orchestration tools? Specifically Podman. I am of the opinion that containerisation is a most excellent idea because it uses hardware to the fullest extent without polluting the base system. Also the "use like cattle" philosophy. For example: I would be much more comfortable having the GUI for cron in a container.
