Locally mounting VM or server files

$ sudo apt-get install sshfs
$ mkdir ~/vm
$ sshfs reddit@reddit.local:/home/reddit/src/reddit ~/vm
# optionally unmount it later with:
$ fusermount -u ~/vm

Logging

SSL upgrade, for improved "Suggest Title" compatibility

Upgrade curl

Ubuntu 14 comes with curl 7.35.0. Upgrade it for improved SSL compatibility, particularly for "suggest title" and other remote fetching.

$ sudo apt-get remove curl libcurl3
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
# substitute version from https://curl.haxx.se/download.html
$ wget https://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.65.1.tar.bz2
$ tar -xvjf curl-7.65.1.tar.bz2
$ cd curl-7.65.1
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo ldconfig
$ curl --version
$ cd ..
$ rm -rf curl-7.65.1*
