I just run on two mini PCs.

One running OPNsense, fanless N5105, 4x 2.5Gb, it doesn’t need much disk or memory but at the time it was a negligible additional cost to go to 16GB and 500GB.

The other is running Proxmox, on a Ryzen 7 7840HS, 96GB RAM, 500GB SSD, and with two 5TB USB HDDs plugged in (rotated with a third that I keep at a friend’s place as a cheap but fit for purpose offsite backup).

It’s just them plus a managed 2.5Gb switch and a couple of wifi routers in AP-only mode. It costs very little to run power-wise and is more than enough grunt for my needs.

I used sandpaper on mine, a few different grits down to a 2000 I think it was. Then applied a UV-resistant clear. It has gone well over 5 years now.

I’m not an expert but have worked in these kinds of environments on and off over the years.

It’s hard to offer broad advice as every encounter is different. Your workplace might offer training though to give you some tools, which will likely also teach you the things not to say (eg promising a result, stoking the fire, preaching, etc).

Calming someone down isn’t always the goal either, sometimes people just need to process difficult information or grieve for the loss of a loved one. All you can do in this situation is to offer a safe place to do that, and maybe a sympathetic ear if they need to talk, and perhaps to validate their feelings. Otherwise just being present is often enough, as is knowing when to give someone space.

Sorta been answered but worth noting there’s more than one definition, and if the person you’re speaking to/arguing with aren’t using the same one then you’ll never agree because you’re debating different points.

One is the “socially aware” definition, and seems to be the one claimed by most on here. It means your eyes/mind are open etc.

Another refers to performative virtue signalling, where someone is desperately looking for something to make themselves appear socially aware / “awake”, regardless of their actual position on the matter, if they even have one. That is where the pejorative usage comes from.

If someone uses “woke” as an insult is likely they’re placing the target in the latter category.

The only thing I believe about this is that meth was involved

It was so good!

That’s enough internet for me today

Psoriasis then at a guess

Edit: beaten lol

Eczema?

Or severe dehydration perhaps

Lots of variables here including why I’m travelling and whether the trip itself is enjoyable.

Generally though, I’d say In the city, probably 30 min on foot or 15 min otherwise. In the sticks, if you can make it back before the next mealtime you’re still “close”.

Booting on a schedule as others have suggested would be the simplest by far.

To answer as asked though, it’s not something I’ve needed to do but it sounds like a VPN + IGMP proxy (I’m assuming you have a separate subnet for your VPN) might fit the bill.

Alternatively some kind of low power device (a Pi or something) that lives in the same subnet could make the WOL call locally, and you just need to find a way to trigger it. Could do it via a http call for example.

Disappointed it missed the opportunity to say it would blow his mind
