QubesOS: Arm & Disarm BusKill (Keyboard Shortcut)
Published on October 3, 2023 by Michael Altfield

We've just published an update that describes how to setup a keyboard shortcut in QubesOS so that you can disarm (pause) the BusKill laptop kill cord. 

This allows the user to, for example, go to the bathroom without causing their computer to shutdown or self-destruct.


While our last guide described how to install BusKill on QubesOS, our latest guide describes how to add keyboard shortcuts to arm & disarm the dead man switch (eg so you can go to the bathroom).
