πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ @small-tech/cross-platform-hostname module deprecated

https://www.npmjs.com/package/@small-tech/cross-platform-hostname

The release of version 1.1.0 deprecates and removes support for this small module that normalised hostname reporting between Linux/macOS and Windows.

We no longer support Windows as Microsoft is complicit in Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian peopleΒΉ and Small Technology FoundationΒ² stands in solidarity with the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movementΒ³.

Windows is an ad-infested and surveillance-ridden dumpster fire of an operating system and, alongside supporting genocide, you are putting both yourself and others at risk by using it.

When supporting Linux/macOS, just use the built-in os.hostname() method which works the same way on both platforms.

@small-tech/cross-platform-hostname

Cross platform version of os.hostname() that returns the full computer name (including the primary DNS prefix) on Windows so you can write code that relies on the hostname (e.g., automatic TLS certificate provisioning) that will also work on Windows.
