explain shell-like writing in readme

It's unclear what's 'basic', so `basic/` notes have been mostly moved.
The remainder became `shell/`.

+# Linux Knowledge Base
 
-The Linux Knowledge-Base provides quick-start guides for working with terminal programs.
+These notes Linux programs have grown into a searchable knowledge base.
 
-If you like this style of short articles with a miniature database, then join me in my quest to remove the nausea of poorly-written documentation.
+# Usage
 
-# Setup
+## Setup
 
-Install `make`, `recutils`, and any fuzzy-finder (i.e. `sk`, `fzy`, or `fzf`).
+Install `make`, `recutils`, and any a fuzzy-finder (like `fzf` or `sk`).
 
-## Usage
+To find the options, run `make`.
+
+## Queries
+
+The fuzzy finder opens an interactive menu to find information.
+
+There are two types of notes:
+
+1. Short commands, catalogued by aim (in `command.rec`).
+1. Short notes, mostly on getting set up with something (in the markdown files).
+
+### Short Commands
+
+Running `make check` will start a search of the snippets, ordered by what you
+want to do, not by the name of the binary:
+
+```
+    Hard reset ntp service
+ -> Quickly find and open run-command files
+    Turn markdown into a man page
+    Rotate a video
+    Translate a media file to a new type
+```
+
+The output is a couple of lines of code, with changeable components as variables:
+
+```
+alias rrc='$PAGER "$(find . -maxdepth 2 -name "*rc" | fzf)"'
+```
+
+### The Function
+
+Running `make function` outputs a shell function which searches through this
+knowledge base, so you don't have to `cd` to use it.
 
-Set up the database and try a few queries:
 
 ```sh
-make
-make database
+lk(){
+	/usr/bin/mdless "$(recsel ${your-path-here}/lk/db.rec \
+    -q "$(recsel ${your-path-here}/lk/db.rec -CP title,tag \
+    | sort -u \
+    | /usr/bin/fzf )" -CP path \
+    | fzf --sync -1 --preview='less -iR {}' )"
+}
+```
 
-recsel db.rec -m 3
-recsel db.rec -q database
-recsel db.rec -e "title = 'ssh'"
-recsel db.rec -e "title ~ 'ssh'"
-recsel db.rec -e "title ~ 'bash'" -R title,wordcount
+Add the function to your bash shell like this:
 
-recsel db.rec -t guide -j provides -G title \
-    -e "title = 'ssh'" \
-    -p 'sum(provides_wordcount)'
+```bash
+make function
+make function >> ~/.bashrc
+exec bash
+lk
 ```
 
 # Style
 
-## No History, No Context
-
-- Nobody cares about how the project started.
-- Nobody wants to read what `ffmpeg` is, because anyone who wants to use it already knows what it is.

 ## State Knowledge Dependencies
 
-Articles should state what you need to understand in order to read them *at the start*.
-They should not assume the reader knows much beyond common terminal commands, and should not provide a link to some other resource half-way through an article.
+Articles should never link to other resources part-way through.
+If the article assumes an understanding of GPG keys, then it should say that at the top.
+People should be able to read documentation from the beginning, then keep going until the end, and then stop.
+Setup guides should not send the reader on a detour through labyrinths of links.
 
-People should be able to read an article from the beginning, then keep going until the end, and then stop.
-Articles should not take a detour through a chain of other articles of unknown size.
+## No History, No Context
 
-[Do not Jaquays documentation](https://splint.rs/posts/no_links)
+Anyone who wants to read how to use OTP with GPG already knows what those words mean, so guides should not spend time explaining.
+Anyone who doesn't know what GPG keys are can find the link to using them, which explains them better than using door-blocking devices as a metaphor for prime number factorization.
+
+## Index by Purpose
+
+Nobody wants to read about `grep`, they want to find words, like 'cat'.
+They want to 'download a website', not learn about `wget`.
+Guides should be created and indexed by purpose, not by binary.
 
 ## Be Opinionated
 
-- Guides should not ask the reader to select options half-way through.
+- Guides should not ask the reader to pick from a list of options.
 - Options for different filesystems, databases, et c., should be written as separate guides.
 
 ## Repetition Beats Reference
 
 If a database requires three commands to set up, it's better to repeat those three commands for every program that requires a database than to just link to another file which discusses databases.

 Now we can see what can be changed.
 
-## Assume People Follow the Instructions
+### Aim to Script
+
+Guides should read like a heavily commented script, so CLI commands are preferred to GUI commands.

+- Good: `sed -i '/focuscolor/s/=1/=2/' ~/.config/tspreed/tspreed.rc`
+    * `cat !$`
+
+Despite being 'script-like', interactive bash commands like `cat !$` are still fine just to show how to double-check results when setting things up interactively.
+
+### Show, Don't Tell
 
 Articles should say what to type, not the output.
 If the command is `ls`, users will see files once they try the command, but the article does not need to provide an example list of files unless an important point has to be made about output.
 
+Once a user enters a new group, the change doesn't take effect until you log
+in.  This could be explained at length, or the reader can see what this means
+for themselves:
+

+```sh

+grep audio /etc/group
+
+sudo usermod -aG audio $USER
+groups
+grep audio /etc/group
+
+su $USER
+groups
+grep audio /etc/group
+```
+
+Troubleshooting steps can often be implied by adding commands which do nothing but check the results of previous commands.

-
-You need about a dozen commands to move around Linux.
-After that, you look up the rest as you go.
-Don't worry about understanding any of it, just type it in and the habit forms pretty quickly.
-
-You start in a dark room. You want to know where you are by **p**rinting out your **w**orking '**d**irectory' (i.e. 'location'):
-
-```bash
-pwd
-```
-
-Have a look at what is here:
-
-```bash
-ls
-```
-
-If you get no response, the list of items is "", meaning "nothing here".
-
-Have a look at **a**ll the files:
-
-```bash
-ls -a
-```
-
-```bash
-. ..
-```
-
-So `.` means 'here' and `..` means 'you see stairs leading downwards' (e.g. 'the directory behind you').
-
-Change directory (`cd`) down one level:
-
-```bash
-cd ..
-```
-
-Look where you are again with `pwd`, then go back up.  Use `ls`, and if you see `bob`, then:
-
-```bash
-cd bob
-```
-
-Move around the directories.  The place at the bottom is the 'root', and is known as `/`.  Go to the root:
-
-```bash
-cd /
-```
-
-Do `ls` again and `cd` into `etc`.  Look at how much space those folders are taking up:
-
-```bash
-du iptables
-```
-That's the number of kilobytes the file is taking up.
-Do the same again, but in a human-readable format:
-
-```bash
-du -h iptables
-```
-
-The `du` program has `-h` for 'human', '-s' for 'short', and a bunch of other commands.
-Have a look at the manual and try another command:
-
-```bash
-man du
-```
-
-Once you're done, press 'q' to quit the manual page and try the extra `du` flag you've found.
-
-Now you can try to gain super-powers and take over the system:
-
-```bash
-sudo -i
-```
-
-At this point, you are 'root'.
-All your commands will be executed, even if they're unsafe, or even if you ask to delete the entire machine.
-Best to exit out of the root account:
-
-```bash
-exit
-```
-
-Go find a file that isn't a directory.  You can tell which is which with:
-
-```bash
-ls -l
-```
-
-A directory starts with a 'd', like this:
-
-```bash
-drwxr-xr-x 79 root root 4096 Jan  3 05:15 /etc/
-```
-
-A standard file starts with '-', like this:
-
-```bash
-`-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8 Dec 11 17:26 hostname`
-```
-
-Look inside the file /etc/hostname to find out your computer's name:
-
-```bash
-cat /etc/hostname
-```
-
-Print out the words "hello world":
-
-```bash
-echo "hello world"
-```
-
-Move back to your home directory:
-
-```bash
-cd
-```
-
-Take the words 'hello world', and put them in 'my_file':
-
-```bash
-echo 'hello world' > my_file
-```
-
-Measure the disk usage of that file, then put the results at the bottom of the file:
-
-```bash
-du $FILE >> $FILE
-```
-
-And check the results:
-
-```bash
-cat $FILE
-```
-
-# Autocompletion
-
-Press tab after typing a few keys and bash will guess what you're trying to  type.
-
-# Permissions
-
-Look at your file's owner:
-
-```bash
-ls -l $FILE
-```
-
-If it says `-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8 Dec 11 17:26 hostname` then the file is owned by 'root'.
-
-Take your file and change the owner to root:
-
-```bash
-sudo chown root $FILE
-```
-
-Change the same file so it's owned by the group 'audio':
-
-```bash
-sudo chown :audio $FILE
-```
-
-Check you did that correctly:
-
-```bash
-ls -l my_file
-```
-
-> -rw-r--r-- 1 root audio 0 Jan  3 19:20 my_file
-
-Read the start of that line.  Root can 'read' and 'write' to or delete the file.  Try to remove (delete) it:
-
-```bash
-rm $FILE
-```
-
-You'll see you're not allowed, because you don't own it.
-
-Look at which groups you're in:
-
-```bash
-groups
-```
-
-Change the file so that members of the audio group can write to the file:
-
-```bash
-sudo chmod g+w $FILE
-```
-
-Check you got it right with `ls -l`:
-
-```bash
--rw-rw-r-- 1 root audio 0 Jan  3 19:20 my_file
-```
-
-Try to delete the file again:
-
-```bash
-rm my_file
-```
-
-If you can't, you're not in the audio group.  Add yourself.  You'll need to *modify* your *user account*, by **a**ppending 'audio' to your list of groups.
-Use `-a` to **a**ppend, and `-G`, to say you're modifying groups:
-
-```bash
-sudo usermod -a -G audio [ your username here ]
-```
-
-Now you should be able to remove (delete) the file.  Remember, that using 'rm file' will not send it to a recycling bin. The file is gone.
-
-# Directories
-
-Make a directory called 'new test':
-
-```bash
-mkdir 'new test'
-```
-
-Make two directories, called 'A', and 'Z':
-
-```bash
-mkdir A Z
-```
-
-Make a single directory called 'A Z'
-
-```bash
-mkdir 'A Z'
-```
-
-# Text Searches
-
-Measure the disk usage of everything ('\*' means 'everything'), and put it in a file called 'disk usage.txt':
-
-```bash
-du -sch * > A/'disk usage'.txt
-```
-
-Look at your file:
-
-```bash
-cat A/'disk usage.txt'
-```
-
-If you think you have too much information, use `grep` to just get the one line of text you want:
-
-```bash
-grep total A/disk\ usage.txt
-```
-
-The `grep` program also has a manual ('man page').  You should find out what that `-c` flag does, but the manual is too long to read.
-
-Start the manual:
-
-```bash
-man du
-```
-
-Then search for `-c` by pressing `/`.  Your final keys should be `man du`, then `/-c`
-
-Find out if the `ls` program also has a 'human readable' format by using `grep` to search for the word 'human':
-
-```bash
-man ls | grep human
-```
-
-Now use that flag that you've found in combinatin with the `-l` flag to look at a file.
-
-Remove the directory 'Z':
-
-```bash
-rmdir Z
-```
-
-Remove the directory 'Z':
-
-```bash
-rmdir Z
-```
-
-And then remove all the rest:
-
-```bash
-rmdir *
-```
-
-The 'A' directory will not budge because it's not empty.  Remove it recursively, so the computer will remove the things inside the directory as well as the directory itself:
-
-```bash
-rm -r A
-```
-
-# Installation
-
-You get a package manager which installs programs, fonts, et c.
-If you're on something like Debian, you'll have `apt`, or if you're on something like Red Hat, you'll have `yum`.
-If unsure, ask where a program is:
-
-```bash
-whereis yum
-```
-
-```bash
-whereis apt
-```
-
-If you get a hit, you can use whatever program that is to install things.
-
-Set a reminder of your package manager:
-
-```bash
-echo my package manager is yum | lolcat
-```
-
-If that failed it's because you don't have `lolcat` installed.
-Install lolcat:
-
-```bash
-sudo apt install lolcat
-```
-
-Try the same command again.
-
-Search for things you want, like `libreoffice`, or `gimp`:
-
-```bash
-apt search libreoffice
-```
-
-... then install one of them with:
-
-```bash
-apt install $PROGRAM
-```
-
-Remove `lolcat`, because it's useless:
-
-```sh
-sudo apt remove lolcat
-```
-
-...and that's pretty much it.
-You can move, create, destroy, install things, and look things up.
-
-# Review
-
-- Search for random things with your package manager and install the interesting ones.
-  * Read the manual with `man thing`
-  * If it's useless, remember to uninstall it.
-- Have a look around the file system in `/`.
-- Look in the `.config` folder in your home directory.
-  * If you copy a program's config to another machine, the program will behave just like you set it up in your own machine.

-```
-
-Then apply that crontab:
-
-```bash
-crontab $filename
-rm $filename
-```
-
-The `cron` program will check your syntax before adding the tab.
-
-Your crontab file sits somewhere in `/var/spool/`.
-Probably in `/var/spool/cron`.
-
-## Syntax
-
-`* * * * *`
-
-These five points refer to:
-
-`minute hour day month weekday`
-
-So '3pm every Sunday' would be:
-
-`0 15 * * 7`
-
-Here 'Sunday' is indicated by "7", and '3pm' is 'the 15th hour'.
-The minute is '0' (i.e. '0 minutes past three pm').
-
-Doing the same thing, but only in February, would be:
-
-`0 15 * 2 7`
-
-### Variables
-
-`cronie` doesn't know where you live, so to put something in your `$HOME` directory, you have to tell it:
-
-
-```bash
-echo "HOME=$HOME" > $filename
-crontab -l >> $filename
-crontab $filename
-```
-
-`cronie` doesn't know where anything lives, including programs.
-You can give it your usual `$PATH` variable like this:
-
-
-```bash
-echo $PATH > $filename
-crontab -l >> $filename
-crontab $filename
-```
-
-Now instead of doing this
-
-`40 */3 * * * /usr/bin/du -sh $HOME/* | sort -h > $HOME/sum.txt`
-
-You can simply do this: 
-
-`40 */3 * * * du -sh $HOME/* | sort -h > $HOME/sum.txt`
-
-## Run as Root
-
-You can execute a script as root by putting it into a directory, instead of in the tab.
-Look at the available cron directories:
-
-```bash
-ls -d /etc/cron.*
-```
-
-Make a script which runs daily:
-
-```bash
-f=apt_update.sh
-echo '#!/bin/bash' > $f
-echo 'apt update --yes' >> $f
-chmod +x $f
-sudo mv $f /etc/cron.daily/
-```
-
-### Testing with runparts
-
-Run-parts runs all executable scripts in a directory.
-
-```bash
-run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
-```
-
-# Troubleshooting
-
-### `date` Commands
-
-Cron doesn't understand the `%` sign, so if you want to use `date +%R`, then it should be escaped with a backslash: `date +\%R`.

-This & That
-===========
-
-Refer to 'that last thing', and 'the first thing':
-
-```bash
-fortune -l > file1
-cat !$  | tr -d u
-diff !^ !$
-```
-
-**NB:** this can go wrong:
-
-```bash
-ls -l file1 file2
-cat !^
-```
-
-Done
-----
-
-`<C-d>`
-
-- If you have a command, Control + d will execute the command.
-- If you have nothing, `exit`.
-
-Input Run-Commands (`~/.inputrc`)
-=================================
-
-Alias Expansion
----------------
-
-```bash
-echo '"\C- ": shell-expand-line' >> ~/.inputrc
-exec bash
-```
-
-Now you can expand all aliases with 'Control + Space'.
-Try just `ls`, then 'Control + Space'.
-
-Glob Expansion (`*`)
---------------------
-
-```bash
-echo '"\C-x": glob-expand-word' >> ~/.inputrc
-exec bash
-ls *<C-x>
-```
-
-- Are you sure you want to delete that?
-    * `rm -r *<C-x>`
-- Clean up the Downloads folder:
-    * `rm Downloads/*pdf<C-x>`
-
-Arbitrary Commands
-------------------
-
-Use `\n` as a 'newline' character to automatically press `<Return>`.
-
-```bash
-echo 'Control-y: "| lolcat\n"' >> ~/.inputrc
-exec bash
-ls<C-y>
-```
-
-```bash
-Control-l: "\C-u clear -x && ls\n"
-exec bash
-cd /etc/<C-l>
-```
-
-Readline as Vi
---------------
-
-```bash
-echo 'set editing-mode vi' >> ~/.inputrc
-echo 'set keymap vi-insert' >> ~/.inputrc
-exec bash
-```
-
-The prompt now works according to `vi`-motions.
-This goes much further than the bash-option, `set -o vi` ('set option: `vi`').
-It changes the cursor in the terminal, not just bash.
-
-Try:
-
-- `ls <C-n>`
-- `ls <C-p>`
-- Type some words.
-- `<Esc>0dw$p`
-- <Esc> to normal-mode, and go back with 'b', and forward with 'e'.
-- `4b` to step back four times.
-- `cE`
-- `<Esc>kcw`
-- ls -a<Esc>xxxx
-
-Works with `python` too:
-
-```python
-im<C-n>os<Return>
-os.li<C-n><Return>
-<Esc>kfn
-<C-d>
-```
-
-Fix Globs!
-----------
-
-If you tried the previous commands then they will not work any more, because the `vi`-commands overwrite the other commands.
-Remove them.
-
-```bash
-sed '/ vi/d' ~/.inputrc
-sed -i '/ vi/d' ~/.inputrc
-
-sed '1 i set editing-mode vi' .inputrc 
-sed -i '1 i set editing-mode vi' ~/.inputrc 
-sed -i '2 i set keymap vi-insert' ~/.inputrc 
-```
-
-Vi-sibility
------------
-
-The `readline` prompt becomes confusing if you don't remember if you're in insert or normal mode.
-But you can show the  current mode in the prompt:
-
-```bash
-echo 'set show-mode-in-prompt on' >> ~/.inputrc
-exec bash
-```
-
-Set new symbols for normal and insert mode:
-
-```bash
-echo 'set vi-ins-mode-string "  "' >> ~/.inputrc
-echo 'set vi-cmd-mode-string " "' >> ~/.inputrc
-```
-
-Fuzzy Sort
-==========
-
-Check your repos for `sk-im`, and install.
-The program is called `sk`.
-
-```bash
-FUZZY=sk
-```
-
-If you don't have it, `fzy` or `fzf` should work the same way.
-
-```bash
-FUZZY=fzy
-```
-
-Find some 'read-config' files to check out:
-
-```bash
-find . -maxdepth 2 -name "*rc"
-find . -maxdepth 2 -name "*rc" | $FUZZY
-```
-
-And read some:
-
-```bash
-PAGER='less -R'
-$PAGER "$(find . -maxdepth 2 -name "*rc" | $FUZZY)"
-```
-
-Make the change long-term:
-
-```bash
-alias rrc='$PAGER "$(find . -maxdepth 2 -name "*rc" | sk)"'
-alias | grep rrc= >> ~/.bash_aliases
-```

+
+Once you've made a decision about someone:

+
+Notice the long, ugly, string - `CD30421FD825696BD95F1FF644C62C57B790D3CF` - and how horribly ugly it is.
+This is a fingerprint.
+
+You can now decide the trust level (this stays on your computer).
+
+```sh
+gpg --edit-key CD30421FD825696BD95F1FF644C62C57B790D3CF

+This system relies on a ring of people swapping key information.
+
+## Sending

+```
+
+## Upload Your Keys
+
+## Add More Key Servers
+
+Key servers often swap keys, but it's best to just send to multiple places immediately.
+You can add key servers by adding this to `~/.gnupg/gpg.conf`.
+
+```
+keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org
+keyserver hkps://mail-api.proton.me
+keyserver hkps://keys.mailvelope.com
+```
+
+# Refresh Keys
+
+Refreshing keys will tell you if some key you have contains a signature from someone you already trust, or if someone has published a revocation certificate (meaning their key should not be trusted any more).
+
+```sh
+gpg --refresh-keys
+```
+
+You can use the [crontab](system/cron.md) to refresh keys, but this will mostly fail, since keyservers often don't hold the right data.
+
+# Export
+
+Your public key:
+
+```sh
+gpg --output me.gpg --armor --export

+Alternatively:

-# Circles of Trust
-
-Search for a key at any key store:
-
-```bash
-gpg --search-keys nestorv
-```
-
-Once you've made a decision about someone:
-
-```bash
-gpg --list-keys
-```
-
-You get something like this:
-
-```
-pub   rsa3072 2021-08-15 [SC] [expires: 2023-08-15]
-      CD30421FD825696BD95F1FF644C62C57B790D3CF

-sub   rsa3072 2021-08-15 [E] [expires: after-forever]
-
-```
-
-Notice the long, ugly, string - `CD30421FD825696BD95F1FF644C62C57B790D3CF` - and how horribly ugly it is.
-This is a fingerprint.
-
-You can now decide the trust level (this stays on your computer).
-
-```bash
-gpg --edit-key CD30421FD825696BD95F1FF644C62C57B790D3CF
-```
-
-Once you're in the interface, type `trust`.

-
-# Swapping Keys
-
-This system relies on a ring of people swapping key information.
-
-## Sending
-
-Send those trusted keys up to a server, so people can see you have verified them:
-
-```bash
-gpg --send-keys 024C6B1C84449BD1CB4DF7A152295D2377F4D70F
-```
-
-## Upload Your Keys
-
-## Add More Key Servers
-
-Key servers often swap keys, but it's best to just send to multiple places immediately.
-You can add key servers by adding this to `~/.gnupg/gpg.conf`.
-
-```
-keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org
-keyserver hkps://mail-api.proton.me
-keyserver hkps://keys.mailvelope.com
-```
-
-# Refresh Keys
-
-Refreshing keys will tell you if some key you have contains a signature from someone you already trust, or if someone has published a revocation certificate (meaning their key should not be trusted any more).
-
-```bash
-gpg --refresh-keys
-```
-
-You can use the [crontab](../../basics/cron.md) to refresh keys, but this will mostly fail, since keyservers often don't hold the right data.
-
-# Export
-
-Your public key:
-
-```bash
-gpg --output me.gpg --armor --export
-```
-Alternatively:
-
-```bash
-gpg --export -a person@email.tld > my_key.pub

+
+Someone created this logging format on purpose, to make sure nobody could parse it with a hundred `column`, `cut`, or `awk` pipes.
+
+The problem lies in `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`:
+
+
+```conf
+log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
+                  '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
+                  '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
+```
+
+Despite a request of three strings, this format returns one string.
+
+It can output to recfile format like this:
+
+
+```conf
+log_format  main  '\nIP: $remote_addr\n'
+                 'User: $remote_user\n'
+                 'Date: $time_local\n'
+                 'Request: $request\n'
+                 'Status: $status\n'
+                 'Bytes: $body_bytes_sent\n'
+                 'Referrer: $http_referer\n'
+                 'Agent: $http_user_agent\n'
+                 'XForward: $http_x_forwarded_for\n';
+
+access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.rec  main;
+```
+
+Note the newline (`\n`) symbol, required to start a new entry on a new line.
+
+1. `cp /etc/nginx.conf /etc/nginx.conf.bak`
+1. Change `/etc/nginx.conf` to match the format above.
+1. Check the file works with `nginx -t`.
+1. Restart the `nginx` service.
+1. Access that web page to make sure that at least one log exists.
+1. Check the file with `recfix /var/log/nginx/access.rec`.
+
+Once it works, you can add the usual recfile headers:
+
+
+```sh
+sed -i '1 i \ ' /var/log/nginx/access.rec
+sed -i '1 i %rec: Weblog' /var/log/nginx/access.rec
+sed -i '2 i %doc: nginx access logs' /var/log/nginx/access.rec
+```
