I used it very similarly to you, but found it to be about $3.50 per day, or $100 a month. It wasn't worth that.

John Gruber and Ben Thompson discussed a comparison of podcast vs. youtube and how podcasting isn't dominated by one company like youtube is for video. This is in the context of Joe Rogan moving to spotify. https://overcast.fm/+B7NB1G3rw/44:01

John Boiles has a proof of concept of the OBS virtual cam. I tried it out and it worked for me, although I had to build it and OBS from source. He has good instructions.

nsenter might be a short term solution, but IMHO, getting a resolution to this issue https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/1228 so you can just do "docker exec /bin/bash" is much simpler than the nsenter call he recommends. Plus, he leaves out chroot, so I have a different view of the filesystem than PID 1 inside the container does.

The best book on git is only 30 pages long. It's called git from the bottom up and it describes the architecture of git, which makes understanding it much simpler than studying command line options.
