But why they want to cancel the contract and won't offer the customer to pay for the traffic?
...and so Star Wars AT-TE idea was born? :D

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?
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>.
