NixOS does not normally install libraries in a FHS layout, which means that binaries compiled for other Linux platforms
typically will not work.  Visual Studio Code's Remote SSH extension transfers a NodeJS binary and a binary library built by
Microsoft that must be patched to be used on NixOS.

Prior to April 2021, this could simply be done by replacing `.vscode-server/bin/*/node` with `nodejs-12_x`; after April 2021,
there is also a library module that is not compatible with `nodejs-12_x`.  Therefore, it is necessary to patch these two ELF
files.

## What happens if you just replace nodejs (the pre-April solution from [nixos.wiki](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Vscode))

The following will occur when you try to open a terminal
```
The terminal process failed to launch: A native exception occurred during launch (The module '.../.vscode-
server/bin/cfa2e218100323074ac1948c885448fdf4de2a7f/node_modules/node-pty/build/Release/pty.node' was compiled against a
different Node.js version using NODE_MODULE_VERSION 83. This version of Node.js requires NODE_MODULE_VERSION 72. Please try
re-compiling or re-installing the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm install`).).
```

## Why does this happen?

No clue.  I am not a NodeJS developer, nor do I work for Microsoft.
