   So what I've done in 2 weeks here:

   - implemented my own Mastodon server so I'm @jimcarroll

   - set up an Amazon S3 bucket for cloud storage of media (images, video etc) to reduce server storage/load

   - put a Cloudfront CNAME on it so media comes from media.futurist.info

   - put Elasticsearch on it so I have form of rudimentary search of my timeline

   - made new friends!

   The server is costing me about $12 a month.

   I was verified for real on Twitter, but going forward, will not spend $8 there
