+Change a file:

+file=README.md
+fortune >> ${file}
+git diff
+git stash save
+```
+
+List which stashes you have:
+
+
+```sh
+git stash list
+
+    stash@{1}: WIP on master: c21f102 init git
+```
+
+Make a new file, then stash it:

+
+```sh
+otherfile=file.log
+fortune > ${otherfile}
+git add ${otherfile}
+stashname=logfile
+git stash save ${stashname}
+```
+
+Now you can see two stashed changes, and the most recent has a name:
+
+```sh
+git stash list
+
+    stash@{0}: On master: logfile
+    stash@{1}: WIP on master: c21f102 init git
+```
+
+You can delete a stash by referring to its index number, or name (if it has one).
+
+```sh
+choice=1
+git stash drop ${choice}
+
+choice=${stashname}
+git stash drop ${choice}
+```
+
+Or just run `git stash drop` to remove the most recent (labelled `{0}`).
+
+Return stashed changes with an index number (or the most recent).
+
+```sh
+git stash pop ${choice}

+Set up two containers: `deb` and `arch`, add them to an `ansible` hosts file, then do a 'ping' to see if they respond.
+
+## Required Packages
+
+- `ansible`
+- `jq`
+- `docker`
+
+## Debian Container
+
+```sh
+docker run -di --rm --name deb --hostname deb debian
+docker exec -it deb sh -c 'apt update && apt -y install openssh-server python3 sudo'
+```
+
+Generate the host's ssh keys, then start the ssh daemon:
+
+```sh
+docker exec -it deb sh -c 'ssh-keygen -A'
+docker exec -d deb /usr/sbin/sshd -D
+```
+
+## Arch Linux Container
+
+```sh
+docker run -di --rm --name arch --hostname arch archlinux
+docker exec -it arch sh -c 'pacman -Syu --noconfirm python sudo openssh'
+docker exec -it arch sh -c 'ssh-keygen -A'
+docker exec -d arch /usr/sbin/sshd -D
+```
+
+## `ssh` Keys
+
+Copy across your public ssh key to the container's `authorized_keys` file:
+
+```sh
+pubkey=~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
+for hostname in arch deb; do
+    docker cp $pubkey $hostname:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
+    docker exec -it $hostname sh -c "chown -R root:root /root/.ssh/"
+    docker exec -it $hostname sh -c "chmod -R 700 /root/.ssh/"
+done
+```
+
+## Hosts File
+
+Find name of containers' IPv4 addresses.
+
+```sh
+docker network inspect bridge
+```
+
+The output is awful.
+Use `jq` to parse the `json`:
+
+```sh
+docker network inspect bridge  | jq -r '.[].Containers | .[].IPv4Address'
+```
+
+Now put those into a host file:
+
+```sh
+docker_hosts=hosts.txt
+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`).
+
+Make the warning shut-up:
+
+```sh
+echo '
+[containers:vars]
+ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3.13' >> $docker_hosts
+```
+
+Now the ping is cleaner:
+
+```sh
+ansible -i $docker_hosts all -m ping
+```
+

+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.
