The boiling wand is pretty useful in developing countries. I used to use them myself back in the day and some folks used to cook food with it in dorms!

I sometimes use one when traveling, if I'm not sure there will be a kettle or coffee maker in the room. Tons of them available online, usually called "immersion heaters"

any response form Github Inc ? i don't see any official word

As far as I know, Github has never made any official response to DMCA take down requests. All they do is simply making them public in this repository. (https://github.com/github/dmca)

Any repository served with a DMCA notice can file a counterclaim, as outlined in: https://help.github.com/articles/dmca-takedown-policy/#b-cou...

Using it. But started using MEGA for some privacy sensitive file.

Though grim but i can't help but wonder about the mythological philosophy "everything happens for the good and for a reason". Extremely uncanny...condolences to the people onboard.
