There is a solution though - use of nvm and .nvmrc (to control the version of node and npm that you use), and use of npm ci (which installs packages as they were at the time, rather than installing newer versions than specified in package-lock.json (because too many devs rarely ever pin versions) instead of npm install / npm i).

nvm (Node Version manager): https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm npm ci: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v6/commands/npm-ci

Are you missing the word "not" in there somewhere? Or being really obtuse? Your comment makes little sense as is. Initially you encourage hard wired unmoving appliances, but then also get behind draping a cable across a room to make sure movable appliances also get the best possible bandwidth?

The answer to walled-garden internet institutions isn't amalgamating all your personal data into one database so the walled-garden vendors can more easily grab that data. It's decentralisation and diversity (as in more choice) of vendor. Once again a Silicon Valley / venture capitalist darling fails to understand what data privacy means, and just bundle up their latest data grab in a shiny marketing package.
