how can I add this globaly

Hi you did wonderfull work, thank you

was wonderin if there is any way to somehow add this globaly
because right now I need to add this ontop of every project and it gets confusing for people that don't have the os.gethostname problem because they are running an os where GetHostName is supported and since node will probably never add the solution proposed here: nodejs/node#40353

we need to figure out some more global aproach I guess

I know that a longterm solution for window7 will probably be this: https://github.com/vxiiduu/VxKex

So yea, hope you are allright
