Today's complete waste of time yakshaving:
I want to switch on my home server with home-assistant.io
So I enable wake-on-lan in the system's BIOS
Which causes it to immediately power on after every "sudo poweroff"
Which I try to fix using "fwupdmgr"
Which, it turns out, requires UEFI boots, which I did not yet move the server to
Which I got to work for 99% using incomplete Internet guides
Which I could fix using a live image
At which point I find that there is no firmware update... 🙄

Actually, it turns out that there is a BIOS update! It’s just not through LVFS 🤦
And installing that seems to have fixed the issue! 🥳
