Amused to read an article by Bryan Newbold (BlueSky apologist) about how he successfully set up a full ATProto relay for a mere $34/month.

Meanwhile, one can federate with the ActivityPub universe by running Snac² on a $1/month VPS instance³.

A dapper Gus Fring (played by Giancarlo Esposito) from Breaking Bad gives a condescending look as he adjusts his tie, captioned "$34 per month to federate as an AT proto relay; under $1 per month to federate with the ActivityPub universe. We are not the same."
