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.

More for folks from walkable environments, my question is: would you walk an hour and 15 minutes to go to say, the library?

I am from Denmark where the biking infrastructure is also pretty good, so I will almost always take the bike if I'm going somewhere that is further than 1 km away (~.6 miles).

But that is just if I'm going somewhere -- taking a 4 km walk just for the sake of the walk and getting some fresh air (especially when the weather is nice) is quite normal here.

Er det 'cringe' at sige 'inshallah'? Politikere vil luge ud i fremmedord

Jeg elsker ironien fra kulturministeren og DR's pointering af den

Kulturministeren frygter, at dansk som sprog "langsom bliver devalueret" (stammer fra det franske ord dévaluer, red.), hvis ikke man gør noget politisk. Og så mener han, at dansk er truet.

Men der er ingen grund til at være bekymret for, at det danske sprog generelt er på en deroute (fransk ord for tilbagegang, red.). I hvert fald ikke hvis man spørger to eksperter på området.

Minecraft server and reverse proxy

If you were using the default port 25565, you could simply have a DNS A record pointing to the server IP. But since that is not the case, you have to additionally set up a SRV record in your DNS. NOIP describes what this is and how to set it up on their service here, but it will of course differ for your DNS provider.

This still requires that the Minecraft server port is directly accessible from the other clients, but it sounds like that is not the problem

Is it possible to get an AI model to generate a script that will download the latest LTS torrent of Ubuntu?

In my experience, Chat GPT is much better at the general programming patterns and concepts than specific API implementations. Especially less commonly used ones, where it often gives a solution that only looks reasonable but uses the totally wrong methods. I guess it's similar with scraping the HTML of the Ubuntu releases page to get the latest torrent. It doesn't know the exact HTML layout, so it guesses what is a likely one, even though it is wrong.

It is a public GPG key (not a Microsoft Publisher file) and while I don't know, I assume it is used to verify that future updates are from Nvidia and not a malicious third party. It is really common (if not required) to install and trust a new gpg key when adding a new repository in Linux package managers, and done for safety reasons without privacy implications, and I am guessing this is what Nvidia is doing here.

Where do you see any indication that it is used for identification of you/your machine?
