home appliances have lower voltage, like 12V or 5V. The wire loss and heat would be a problem.

damn you are good. Is this a new py3 thing? I must missed lots of CTF lessons. How about adding another .replace('﹍','').replace('gi_frame', '') ?

More like a nodejs bloat rather than JS bloat. For personal objects I always prompt the AI to write JS directly, never introduce nodejs stack unless absolutely have to. Turns out you don't always need Nodejs/Reactto make a functio

> add individual configuration to every host I ever want to connect Are you AI? You can wildcard match hosts in ssh config. You generally have less than a dozen of keys and it's not that difficult to manage.

jump servers, it's a thing and a good security measure.

so it's good practice to store key in non-default location and use ~/.ssh/config to point the path for each host?
