How to Upgrade Sendy from Version 5 to 6 from the Shell via SSH
I’m using Sendy for our newsletters. Recently, verison 6 was released. Here’s how I updated like a pro on my VPS via SSH.

Remote Bulk Editing Using Regexp with Emacs
A couple of days ago, I did maybe the weirdest and also most amazing thing on a remote machine thus far (with Emacs) and wanted to share the story.
