They mention it in the article, in a big yellow note box.

You could use an IP KVM, or you could install Dropbear SSH server into the initramfs.

Author here, indeed I bought a JetKVM. A colleague had one and recommended it warmly! I'm Very happy with it so far, but my usage has been rather basic.

I've heard that it might be difficult to get one in the US though.

I've looked into similar solutions since the mini PC I'm using as a home server doesn't support WoL, but never pulled the trigger.

I keep putting it off since it is on a UPS and power outages aren't that frequent. Accessibility isn't too bad since it's under the TV stand.

PiKVM is another great solution.
