I don't know about Digital Ocean, but other ISPs charge you by the
amount of time that your disk image exists, not the amount of time
your VM is actually running.  So I'm not sure about the $1.25/month
option.  I suspect you'd need to pay the full $5/month.

Good point about comparing the cost to that of a USB stick.  For the
price of 3 or 4 USB sticks, you could buy a Raspberry PI (or
equivalent), stick it on your local network, and run a Fossil server
on that!
