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.
