If you are not transmitting and only using an sdr just get SDRangel. Its free, is made for sdr dongles, has almost all the decoding and plug-ins you will need. SDR is fun and programs have been free and around for a long time. There is no reason to spend money on paid programs because the features you can use with an sdr are free already, and the extra features in the paid program you cant use with an sdr anyway. Wait till you look at the prices on antennas and amplifiers to increase the range of your Sdr haha. You can't download more range.

200 hundred in what currency? 50 bucks Canadian is what I see. Seems to be a well polished program for hams with an icom. There are free programs that do allot if what the program does... just not all in one.
Privacy lawyer -Dave fraser is a good Canadian one that I started following this year. Runkle of the Bailey is also very good. Mostly a firearms guy, but does follow a bunch of other things going on.
If your family or friends found out that you were arrested, what would they imediatly think the reason was?
You don't need to get super in the weeds, but depending on what your self hosting. Are you hosting just in your lan? Or are you opening ports to the internet. How sensitive is the information on your computers? If anything your hosting is avail to the internet, it's A very good idea to learn and be able to test your networking at least to confirm only ports you want to be open are open, or firewalls configed proper, between vms, containers,etc. Pen testing tools are great for automating those things and can be invaluable in identifying weaknesses. You don't need to keep up with it. Use the tools to identify where your self hosted service could use changing, and then make the changes. Run the tests when major updates or you change servers or upgrades.
Black Friday deals are not deals anymore. I often find better prices at random times of the year. I'm also in Canada, and nomatter where I look hard drives are always on "sale" a 20tb is listed at around 800 bucks regular hahaha. 22.50 per TB is a regular sale basically. Pre pandemic western digital had a sale where some were 18.50 per TB but I haven't seen those prices ever since. This summer 18 TB wd went down to 22.70 per TB for their sale. Sales seem to be dictated by the manufacturer so doesn't really matter where you shop. They have the same price.
