remote boot setup

  • wanted a way to remotely boot my home lab remotely
  • stupid simple way
    • “restore after AC power loss” in the BIOS which tells the computer that when wall power is cut + restored, boot the machine automatically
    • tailscale up --unattended to launch tailscale as a windows service & so that it launches on machine boot & not on sign in
    • get a smart plug (tp-link kasa). it’s a plug that you can disconnect over wifi from an mobile app
