it can't be that hard to set up sshd with publickey-auth on Windows, right? I've literally done it before? why is it refusing to work now

it doesn't seem to be because my user is an admin

I don't appreciate enough how easy this is in Linux… I literally just wanna be able to shut down the computer and check if it's on via the local network

oh god this is a permissions issue isn't it? I have no idea how to fix it then

I now have a button that shuts down my computer in Home Assistant. The one that starts it is way easier because it's just sending a wake-on-LAN magic packet

I do wonder if it'd been faster to just wire my PC's power switch to my Pi's GPIO
