Thanks to @novacustom for sponsoring better support for our FOSS #DeadManSwitch on #Qubes ❤️
We love cool open-source projects like @BusKillin, a USB kill cord for laptops. However, installing its software, especially on @QubesOS, used to be complicated.
That’s why NovaCustom invested in BusKill, starting with a $200 no strings attached contribution. After discussions with lead developer @MichaelAltfield , we’ve now created a much simpler way to install BusKill on Qubes OS.

We love cool and open source projects. One of such projects is BusKill, a USB kill cord for laptops.

Happy new year! 🥳 Here's a recap of the work we did last year at BusKill 👆
This BusKill 2025 Annual Report will discuss the state of the BusKill project at the end of 2025 and the progress we made throughout the year 2025. What is BusKill? BusKill is a laptop kill-cord. It’s a USB cable with a magnetic breakaway that you attach to your body and connect to your computer. https://www.buskill.in/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2021/12/altshift_graphize_buskill_20211210_withCoverAndSubs_1024.webm […]

Dead Man Switch, Interdiction, and Open Source Hardware (Buskill Interview)
@jackeric By default, it does nothing.
Lock-Screen: If you open the app and click the "arm" button, then it locks your computer (by default).
Soft-Shutdown: If you change the trigger in the app to "shutdown," then it shuts down your computer on disconnect (when armed).
Self-Destruct: Or, if you manually setup our LUKS Header Shredder, then it wipes your FDE encryption keys -- making your encrypted drives' contents indistinguishable from random data (in ~5 seconds).
