XCancel still seems to work for now, let's see how long it lasts.

EDIT: Welp, it went down too now.

On Monday 24th August at 8PM EST, we received at letter from X Corp. asking to cease and desist the service XCancel.
The service XCancel is stopped until further notice.
We are seeking legal advice and won't share more details for now.
Thank you for the trust you have put in these two years of XCancel.

    Unless the culprit is that one process permanently stuck in uninterruptible disk sleep, in which case the timer would just perpetually go up, and pressing 7x Ctrl-Alt-Del as you mentioned will simply shut down systemd and the kernel itself will start complaining (faulty hardware can cause this)

    What's more confusing is that on my laptop pressing the copilot key only sends the key down events and releasing sends the corresponding key up events, which makes it actually usable as a modifier key without resorting to weird timers.
