What is the strangest tech related bug you can't resolve?
  • If my desktop is sleeping, turning off my bathroom light will 2 out of 5 times wake up the pc.

    It's a fluorescent lamp, so it is likely that it makes considerable noise on the electrical circuit when being toggled (and it's a small apartment so all lights and outlets are on the same circuit)

    I believe I read a forum post from someone else experiencing the same thing, and they also had a Gigabyte motherboard. So it might be related to their bios/firmware implementation of wake-on-lan in some way.

  • What is the best linux alternative to OneNote?
  • My own use for OneNote was mainly drawing/hand written notes using a drawing tablet. For that use case, I have replaced it with Xournal++

    For other notes written with the keyboard, I use simple local markdown files.

    All my notes are synced between computers with Syncthing

  • Is there a Linux based OS for public computers, such as at a library or a PC cafe?
  • Some Danish public libraries are using OS2borgerPC (citizenPC), which is a Linux system with remote management, with the source code here https://github.com/OS2borgerPC. It is developed by a collaboration of municipalities.

    The main website https://www.os2.eu/os2borgerpc is in Danish, but the main points are that the computers reset automatically on logout, automatically logs out after inactivity and the (self hosted) remote management platform which can alert in case of hardware or software keyloggers and handle automatic updates. There is also a price chart, but that seems to only be for Danish municipalities to join the collaboration.
