- Lights: Elgato Key Lights (2, one as actual key light, one as fill light)
- Looking into these lights can cause fatigue after a while, which sucks if you're doing that all day.
- I managed to work around it by heavily dimming one light that is in my field of view and moving the other light out of my field of view.
- Microphone: Blue Snowball Ice
- Microphone pop filter
- Wall/ceiling mounts for camera and lights
- Camera: Sony a6000.
- This is one of multiple older Sony mirrorless cameras recommended for streaming.
- Whichever you buy, make sure the reviews mention that it can stay on
Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs
- Clarify and agree on the scope of the system
- User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
- Who is going to use it?
- How are they going to use it?
No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.
Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

- There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

This is the original version of the Ansible install script. If you want the latest, please see the above link!
Install latest Ansible via pip + dependencies via a shell script
This file is used to install ansible in test kitchen when you set in the kitchen.yaml file
I have moved this over to the Tech Interview Cheat Sheet Repo and has been expanded and even has code challenges you can run and practice against!
