Dumb Ideas Done Dirt Cheap

AWS lambda that does this:

• roam:Amazon Web Services 's Lightsail is a simple cheap VM with pip3 installed by default. an HTML terminal will appear

• an IAM policy that allows for upload to a publicly accessible, but secret S3 bucket, attached to Lightsail instances

• spin up VM with a startup script to pip3 install --user youtube-dl, emit a helper script which invokes youtube-dl, then S3 uploads and prints URL.

• kill machine in lightsail UI, download video locally, remove in S3 aws console

make this a lambda, good reason to learn Rust
