The phone will alert you that there's an update. Go to Settings => Sailfish OS Updates. As always, backup first. Download the update and choose to install it. Once again it complains that I don't have enough space on the root filesystem. This time I decide to bite the bullet and expand the root volume.
I made a mistake and need to fix it by converting the backup image to a fully partitioned hard drive. At the same time I will apply encryption. As root: (source) Now boot the system that allows you to format the remote machine's drive
A 1TB hard drive with several partitons, lots of media. The actual root system is on a 10GB partition. Additionally, only 5GB are actually in use. I want to make a bootable image that I can upload to my virtual server (it has a function to install from a raw image).

Recent versions of Sailfish OS (currently 4.4.0.58) use a socket that listens on port 22, and start sshd (to be precise, a per-connection sshd@.service) whenever someone knocks. Pretty neat, probably saves some resources when you don't need an ssh connection.
An incomplete timeline of what I read - mostly contributions to various forum threads. Read books and stories (audio formats) are included here. I found two Carl Hiaasen novels on a give-away shelf. Boy was I happy! I must've read 90% of his novels many years back.
Thunar is XFCE's file manager. Recently I have tried it again, after having used pcmanfm for many years. After setting everything up the way I like it I noticed that the shortcuts in the sidepane cannot be rearranged (I am used to having devices first, then bookmarks).
Sometimes I get a creative kick when writing a reply on some forum, and then I feel a little sorry to think that this "gem" will soon be forgotten and unfindable. So I decided to copy-paste some of these outbursts to a dedicated page. It's a little narcissistic.
