Work in public and afraid of a "snatch-and-run”? 🖨️ DIY Laptop Kill Cord (Prototype) Demo #3DPrinting

buskill.in/3d-print-2024-05/

This #DeadManSwitch triggers a 🔒 lockscreen, 🔌 shutdown, or 💥 self-destruct when your physical connection to the computer is severed 🔗

@BusKillin Could this work on a with a USB-C adapter?

Asking for someone else (not a personal acquaintance). They want the device to be wiped.

@MichaelAltfield @BusKillin The page on the last link (/luks-header-shredder) appears to have been deleted or moved? Was it this one or something else:
buskill.in/luks-self-destruct/

@rasheedahmed @BusKillin

Yes. Do Mastodon edits federate OK? I had a typo in the first toot (sorry), but I corrected it shortly after posting. The correct URL is buskill.in/luks-self-destruct/

@MichaelAltfield @BusKillin Thanks. Yes I can see now tgat the edit federated to other servers but not !

So the Librem 5 is Aarch64 Linux device running PureOS currently based on Debian 11... so I'm understanding that it should work right? Or is the required software built for x86-64 only?

@MichaelAltfield @BusKillin Also, it's using Wayland in case that's relevant for the lock on disconnect option.

@rasheedahmed @BusKillin

I haven't tested if the lock-screen triggers work wayland. Please test it and let us know :)

@rasheedahmed @BusKillin

If you're just talking about the bash script to wipe the LUKS header, that should be cross-platform and work on any architecture.
