In the past I was able to connect with Remote-SSH without a problem but today, I wasn't able to connect. However, I can still connect to the remote server using ssh in the terminal... just not with remote-ssh on VSCode annymore. Currently my log is the below after my attempts at fixing it.

[19:50:54.605] Local server exit: null
First, I tried "Remote-SSH:Kill VS-Code Server on Host". This didn't work.
Then I deleted .vscode and .vscode-server on another guy's advice. And now I'm at where the log shows rn. It still says "Could not establish connection to harper"
TL;DR ssh in terminal works. Remote-ssh in vscode does not anymore (it did before)
