Eco-Max makes good dish soap and other products like that here in Canada...free shipping in Canada and you can get it at Walmart:

I'm an American and I canceled mine years ago! (Except youtube premium)

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Not trying to yuck someone's yum, but what are the perks for youtube premium?

You get to pay for commercials.

Eagerly awaiting European owned competitors to american big tech products

Tell me what you need?

Cloud, Calender Sync, Contact Sync and Document Collaboration? I use a Nextcloud Instance provided and managed by my university (who have a contract with Nextcloud, a German Company)

Hetzner and many others sell managed Nextcloud Instances

For the Pictures I use a Photoprism Instance running on a VPS, but for Drop-In solutions you can also use a Plug-in for Nextcloud, or buy a managed instance, like on PikaPods

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

To be honest that was very over my head, but maybe I'll do some research on it sometime. I don't do self hosting so I would be looking for things that don't need that to work.

[–] albert180@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

You don't need to selfhost.

Here is one place where they'll do the hosting for you, and you just use it.

I know its intimidating but getting a managed instance of nextcloud somewhere like Hetzner is really straight forward. You wont have to do much if any admin past the initial setup.

But services like Proton are a Swiss alternative to a lot of these cloud services.

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 1 points 6 days ago

That's good to know, though I wouldn't know how to do the initial setup either. 😅

It might not cover everything, but here’s a nice list:

Canada here! Literally cancelled Netflix last week and talked to my SO about using the money instead to pay for a seedbox lol.

Also trying to do a grocery run without buying any American products is a challenge but doable! Loading up on Dr. Oetkers pizza and Romanian pasta

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

Yeah lettuce seems the biggest challenge to me. All the heads of iceberg lettuce come from the US. What pisses me off is that under the romaine lettuce it says "Product of USA or Mexico". Which is it? I have no problem buying it if it's from Mexico (they're in the same situation as we are) but not getting it if it's from the US.

I have noticed on some products the grocery story is putting a maple leaf beside the price when it's made in Canada, but it's not universal yet.

[–] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Dr. Oetkers

You guys get Dr. Oetker over there? Extremely jealous!

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Safeway had them on sale for like $3.50 so we loaded up lol

Just a reminder to use your local library, they'll often have plenty of movies and TV shows to rent either at a very low price or fully free. Perfect complement for the seven seas

Canadians were some of the OG tv pirates. They were the hookup for hacked satellite boxes in the 90's.

We had a big ass satillite dish in the backyard when I was growing up, and I remember my dad needing to input these codes every so often to unlock a bunch of channels.
