Just to clarify, anyone with physical access to the machine can simply
unplug it and plug it in again if I'm not available. Yeah, it causes a
disk check, but it's not a big deal if the machine isn't doing anything
useful. deskaheh has a well partitioned setup and shouldn't lose anything
important from a loss of power.
