+for hostname in arch deb; do
+    docker cp $pubkey $hostname:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys

+docker network inspect bridge  | jq -r '.[].Containers | .[].IPv4Address'

+
+Now put those into a host file:

+echo '[containers]' > $docker_hosts
+
+docker network inspect bridge  | \
+    jq -r '.[].Containers | .[] | "root@" + .IPv4Address' | \
+    cut -d/ -f1 >> $docker_hosts
+```
+
+You may need to add those host keys to your known hosts file.
+Either connect interactively, or (for scripts):
+
+```sh
+hosts="$(docker network inspect bridge  | jq -r '.[].Containers | .[] | .Name + " " + .IPv4Address' | \
+    cut -d/ -f1)"
+
+echo "$hosts"
+
+echo "$hosts" | while read hostname ip; do
+    printf "%s" "$ip"
+    key="$(docker exec $hostname cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub)"
+    echo "$ip $key" >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
+done
+```
+
+Check if they ping:
+
+```sh
+ansible -i $docker_hosts all -m ping
+```
+
+This command produces an irritating warning about the python interpreter (i.e., `python3`).

+
+```sh
+echo '
+[containers:vars]
+ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3.13' >> $docker_hosts

+title: "Python Projects with Makefiles"

+requires: [ "Makefiles" ]
+---
+
+If you have a python script which requires a packages - e.g. `graphviz` - you can automate the setup with a `Makefile`.
+The `Makefile` will:
+
+1. Make three copies of an 8-line installer script.
+2. Use one of the installer script to install local packages.
+3. Install a symbolic link to python.
+3. Make a script called `activate`, which tells python to use 
+
+# Context
+
+Python coders don't like updating their projects, they just expect everyone to install the same version of everything that they have.
+Historically, people dealt with this by installing only half a dozen copies of `graphviz`; but now each python project uses a local environment, with a local copy of `graphviz`, which means everyone gets to install a new copy of `graphviz` every time they try out a project.
+
+Downloading 40MB of software for each 40-line script you write is called 'virtual environments' because it sounds cool.
+We can make it even cooler with `make`, but not yet, because python - like the fae of old - will not fetch anything until you know its true name.
+
+# Setup
+
+```sh
+command -v python
+realpath `!!`
+```
+
+You must reveal that true path, because `python` is always a relative symbolic link, to an absolute symbolic link, which leads to a shortcut.
+We can finally let `make` know how to invoke python, and where it will install `graphviz`.
+
+If your python's version is '3.14', then python needs its packages placed in `${somewhere}/lib/python3.14/site-packages/`.
+You must create a new, local, name for these packages, because - like the fey of old - python demands a private name in return for revealing its true name.
+
+I'll call mine `camelot`, because the path is long and arduous.
+Set up the Makefiles like this:
+
+```make
+py_link != command -v python
+py != realpath $(py_link)
+version != basename $(py)
+
+virtenv = camelot
+```
+
+Now you can ask for a local `pip` script, which can install the python packages:
+
+```make
+    [...]
+
+$(virtenv)/bin/pip:
+    $(py) -m venv $(virtenv)
+```
+
+Finally, list the packages you want in `requirements.txt`, and make `pip` install from it.
+
+
+```sh
+ppkg=graphviz
+echo ${ppkg} > requirements.txt
+```
+
+```make
+    [...]
+
+pkgs = $(virtenv)/lib/$(version)/site-packages/
+
+$(pkgs): $(virtenv)/bin/pip
+$(pkgs): requirements.txt
+    $(virtenv)/bin/pip install -r $<
+```
+
+The complete Makefile looks like this:
+
+
+```make
+all: .default
+
+py_link != command -v python
+py != realpath $(py_link)
+version != basename $(py)
+
+virtenv = camelot

+1. Remove the old LaTeX junk you've installed.  Search for 'texlive' or 'latex' in your package manager's installed files.
+1. Find `tlmgr` in your package manager.
+
+# `tlmgr`
+
+The LaTeX Package manager is known as `tlmgr`, and often resides in `/opt/texlive/${YEAR}/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr`.
+Double-check the location:
+
+```sh
+ls -l /opt/texlive/${YEAR}/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr
+ls /opt/texlive/${YEAR}/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/tlmgr.pl 
+```
+
+Double-check the year.
+It should *not* match the current year, it should match the `texlive`.
+
+## Problems along the Path
+
+You can't use `tlmgr` unless it's in the `$PATH`.
+
+Check if it *is* in the `$PATH` then if it *should* be in the path:
+
+```sh
+echo $PATH
+grep texlive -r /etc/profile*
+```
+
+If `tlmgr` is where it should be, but not in the path, you can add it temporarily:
+
+
+```sh
+export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/texlive/${YEAR}/bin/x86_64-linux
+```
+
+...or just reboot.
+
+## Usage
+
+Search packages:
+
+
+```sh
+tlmgr search --global epstopdf
+```
+
+Can't find what you need?
+Search for a specific file instead:

+```sh

 Search for the next and or previous occurrence of the word under your cursor with `*` and `#`.
 
 Search and replace the first 'one' found with 'two':
 
-> :%s/one/two/
+`:%s/one/two/`
 
 Same, but replace 'one' globally:
 
-> :%s/one/two/g
+`:%s/one/two/g`
 
 Put quotes around every occurrence of `$HOME`:
 
-> :%s/$HOME/"&"
+`:%s/$HOME/"&"`
 
 Same, but add curly brackets around `$HOSTNAME`:
 
-> :%s/$HOSTNAME/{&}
+`:%s/$HOSTNAME/{&}`

+1. Uninstall `vim`.
+1. Install `vi`.
+1. Write a few blog posts.
+
+The [ancient wisdom](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1218390/what-is-your-most-productive-shortcut-with-vim/1220118#1220118) is correct - everyone should start with `vi`.
+But the standard wisdom fails to mention writing.
+So people just 'try to remember', then they edit a couple of configuration files with `vim`, then stop, because it's a pain to think about keystrokes while thinking about how the configuration file works.
+Nobody can learn like that.
+
+Learn with a blog, or writing emails in `vim`, or writing anything, as long as it's *real writing*.
+Write a journal or some recipes.
+Write literally anything which is written in paragraphs.
+
+And while you're writing, remember one rule: if you want something, `vi` can do it, you just need to look up how.
+
+Blog first, then try out some of these commands:
+
+- `hjkl`
+- `x`
+- `:!grep very %`
+- `onew line<Esc>...`
+- `Onew line<Esc>...`
+- `~`
+- `~~~~`
+- `$r!`
+- `w %-2`
+- `x!`
+- `0RTipex`
+- `_4rX`
+- `bc2e`
+- `c2E`
+- `cw`
+- `cW`
+- `ci'`
+- `zz`
+- `:set number`
+- `:set nonumber`
+- `:set relativenumber`
