Thank you! I have a pair of these and they recently started beeping occasionally and switching noise canceling mode on their own. I was not looking forward to digging through search results on this.

What does OCI mean in this context? My best guess is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, but that doesn't seem right...

I've done that too. I ended up just using a local webserver with some Python cgi scripts instead though. I found it more flexible and easier to remember how things worked that way.

I've found it really handy to just have a local Python webserver running on my workstation. Then my bookmarklets can just hit eg http://localhost:8000/cgi-bin/script.py to modify a local file or open up my notes for a certain Jira ticket or whatever else I can think of. There are security considerations with that approach though, since any random site you load can start sending requests to your local webserver.

I have bad news for you. This exact topic has been discussed on my local radio station (in a medium sized city) and loads of callers described working at a photo lab where there was a drawer full of copies of "noteworthy" photos.
I think it's apples and oranges though. With a photo lab the customer has deliberately handed over whatever images they want developed, whether the images are private or not. Tesla employees sharing images from cameras that some people may have plausibly not even known were there feels like much more of a violation.

Last time I compiled standard Lua I think it was only 300-400KB. It has all the cross platform file manipulation capabilities that C does. I was using TCC though, and it does seem to generate small (unoptimized) binaries.

Another one that I use from the address bar is "subl -n ." to open a temporary Sublime Text project. I imagine you could do something similar with VS Code.

URL parameters will be encrypted with HTTPS, so they're not plaintext over the wire. The problem is that requests are usually getting logged somewhere, so anyone with access to the logs can see your password.

I've only skimmed the code but it seems to me that the repo is an art piece just as much or more than it is a software project. The medium is code but that doesn't mean that it needs to adhere to professional standards anymore than someone's woodworking project needs to adhere to building codes.
