You could theoretically build a coal pit in your back yard to turn the wood into coal, then power a steam engine hooked to generators to make electricity to run your computer. If you wanna be super "efficient" you can route the gasses from the coal process through the steam engine too to get power from that as well
Probably cleaner and less work to do almost any other kind of power though
All power on earth is solar if you dig far enough.
Almost... Nuclear comes from super-novae, therefore not strictly "solar" (in the sense coming from the sun) but loosely yeah everything comes from stars and star formation
Geothermal energy isn't solar.
