berkas1··on Usbkill – anti-forensic tool to halt computer when new USB device is connected
I don't think that wrist-key is an extreme (never seen it actually, but I still think this solution is a cautious one).

For me an extreme measure would be to modify my motherboard in a way that I could connect RAM to my wrist and tear it away when necessary.

Could you make it redirect to https automatically please? Will the source code be available?
berkas1··on Ask HN: What are you using new programming languages for?
Hi, right now I'm learning Go (to write an access control system for our makerspace). For me this is a pretty new language but currently at the point where I see quite large community and available libraries (wait, it is called a module, isn't it?).

Why? I love C language (static typing, you can shoot yourself in a leg == you can do almost anything, etc..), but C is not suited to write this kind of application. I also like PHP - large community, libraries, large OS systems written in it... But I miss some C features and getting bored by having dozens of dependencies for a simple project. Python - is slow (yes, can be tuned somehow, but brings more work to do) and I do not like the syntax and I miss brackets. For me, Go seems like a way to go from now on.

So, to sum it up - for me a new language is a way to solve some set of problems much easier (and sometimes more efficient and/or secure) than with an existing language. I wouldn't be happy if I had to write anything larger than hello world in assembly :)

Hi, is the source code available? :)

BTW, the front page's HTML seems to have a <head> and <body> inside another <body>.
