I like the idea of this suggestion. Is local-facts-facts-d <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_variables.html#local-facts-facts-d> usable as Non-Root? Can facts be loaded from the user's $HOME/.ansible/ , like $HOME/.ansible/facts.d or something like that? I see for windows there is fact_path does that work for Linux?
