There does not seem to exist like a single, complete solution for this that everyone agrees is the way to go… or maybe I did not look hard enough.
How do you do it?

Turn off
Amazing to have
Volume controls
Pause/play
Nice to have
monitoring state (on/off)

You can run commands, so systemctl poweroff should work to turn off your computer (on Linux, not sure how KDE Connect works on Windows, but I’d assume there’s an equivalent)
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
