I am trying to capture costs for starting into homelab/selfhosting.

VPNs, search engines, absolutely everything and anything.

Yeah thats... Pretty much it for me.

Unless we want to include donations? But that doesnt fit the word "subscription" IMO.

For a stretch, subscription should include every rent seeking expenses(not specifically for homelabbing); house rent, water, electricity, gas, phone, internet, monthly bus pass etc etc

Oh most of those I go pay as you go. Instead of a bus pass I cycle and pay for new bikes as required.
