This says it's inspired by molly-guard (which I love and install everywhere and has saved my bacon countless times) but I don't see what's different about it? Molly-guard is a single `apt install` away with no further config needed.

Also, the problem with a Y/N question is that when you are bored and/or in a hurry, you only skim the question and muscle memory takes over, and you hit Y and then you realise a few seconds later that you rebooted the wrong machine. This is why molly-guard makes you enter the hostname of the host you want to shut down.

You can set the challenge type to hostname as well and some others. The only pb with Molly-guard is that I can't have it working properly on my system.
