-# Start Locally
-
-Start by doing normal actions on the computer.
-
-Say 'hello' to yourself:
-
-```sh
-ansible --module-name=ping localhost
-```
-
-Ansible takes a lot of information about each machine during setup:
-
-```sh
-TMP=$(mktemp)
-ansible --module-name=setup localhost  | tee $TMP
-less !$
-```
-
-If you have `jq`, you can pull out info:
-
-```sh
-sed -i 's/.*SUCC.*/{/' $TMP
-jq '.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution' < $TMP
-```
-
-Upgrade through the package manager.
-
-`packager=apt` (or `pacman` or `xbps`,...)
-
-```sh
-packager="$( jq -r '.ansible_facts.ansible_pkg_mgr' < $TMP )"
-ansible --module-name=${packager} --args "upgrade=yes" localhost
-```
-
-This fails because you have not 'become root'.
-So, '*become*'!
-
-```sh
-ansible --become -m ${packager} -a "upgrade=true" localhost
-```
-
-# Passwords
-
-Typing the password is dull.
-You might shift it to the command line:
-
-ansible-playbook t.yaml -i hosts.yaml -e "ansible_become_password=${password}"
-
-...this is also dull.
-
-
-If you have a password store, like `pass`, you can put that in a script:
-
-
-```sh
-echo "#!/bin/sh
-pass $HOSTNAME" > pass.sh
-
-chmod u+x !$
-
-ansible --become --module-name=pacman --args "upgrade=true" localhost
-```
-
-# Other Hosts
-
-Find something you can `ssh` into.
-Ansible will use your `/etc/hosts` file, and `~/.ssh/config`.
-
-## Make a Hosts File
-
-You can use the `.ini` format:
-
-```sh
-echo '[phones]
-192.168.0.20' > hosts
-```
-But everything uses `yaml` nowadays, so may as well be consistent:
-
-```yaml
-all:
-  children:
-    phones:
-      children:
-        pine:
-          ansible_host: 192.168.0.20
-
-```
-
-Check the inventory in yaml format:
-
-```sh
-ansible-inventory --list -y -i
-```
-
-```sh
-ansible-vault view sec.yml --vault-pass-file pass.sh
-```
-
-Install `espeak', then make the computer say something:
-
-```sh
-ansible --module-name=say --args "msg='testing'" localhost
-```
