Secure Copy Protocol, also known as SCP, stands out as a robust yet straightforward solution for securely transferring files between local and remote systems. Let's explore this essential command and understand how it simplifies your file transfer needs without unnecessary complexity.

At its core, SCP is a command-line utility crafted to securely copy files and directories between hosts over an SSH (Secure Shell) connection. What makes SCP particularly handy is its simplicity. With just a single command, you can swiftly move files from your local machine to a remote server or vice versa, all while ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of your data.

The Simpsons, that legendary animated series we all know and love, has become a cultural phenomenon. With its hilarious take on family life in Springfield, it's an absolute classic. We decided to have a bit of fun and recreate the show's iconic theme song using a piezo buzzer.

Buzzer is used to generate sound, beep or even melody of a song. It can be found in alarm devices, computers, timers and confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke. A piezo buzzer is not like a regular speaker that you might think of. It uses a material that actually changes shape when you apply electricity to it which in turn creates noise. The faster you bend the material, the higher the pitch of the noise that is produced.
