Memorito — Personal Knowledge Base with Automated Search

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000

I spent a lot of time searching the internet and realized that my personal knowledge was scattered everywhere: notes, PDFs, bookmarks, snippets, links, images, voice recordings — all in different places, never findable when I needed them. Notion was good, but I didn’t want to put my brain’s content into another SaaS service.

Then I thought: “Why don’t I build my own?”

And I did.

What is Memorito?

Memorito is a self-hosted, multimodal knowledge base that I built for myself — not a ready-made product I use, but something I coded for my own needs and continuously develop. It can process, index, and search text, URLs, images, audio files, and PDFs. Not just keyword search — semantic search, meaning it finds relevant content based on meaning.

Qwen 3.6: 35B vs 27B comparison - benchmark results

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000

I finally summed up all the Qwen 3.6 model test results I gathered over the past few days. I compared two models in detail: the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B (MoE, hybrid attention/delta) and the Qwen3.6-27B (dense, hybrid attention/delta). I ran both with turbo3 KV cache compression on an RTX 4090 as a llama.cpp server.

If I had to summarize briefly: the 35B-A3B is 3-4x faster in everything, but the 27B delivers better quality. This is the classic MoE vs. dense tradeoff, just backed by numbers.

Migrating the Blog from WordPress to Hugo with OpenCode

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 20:00:00 +0000

My last post was published in March 2021, and since then, almost nothing has happened with the blog - despite moving, server changes, and numerous other developments. WordPress had been more irritating than helpful for returning to writing posts: it was slow, required constant plugin updates, and security vulnerabilities kept pouring in, while for a blog that only publishes a few posts per year, it was overly complex.

For years I had been considering switching to a static site generator, but the thought of migration - 87 posts, lots of HTML remnants, media files - always deterred me. Then I discovered OpenCode, and everything changed.

Docker – Matrix Synapse homeserver, federation, nginx reverse proxy and TURN server setup using docker-compose

Tue, 16 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Recently I set up a Matrix homeserver for my friend group. I considered whether I needed federation, and ultimately decided that I did. On top of that, I also had to set up a TURN server so that calls would work properly for everyone, since if someone is behind NAT, the connection typically doesn’t work reliably. I launched the container on a Hetzner cloud VPS running Debian 10.

You’ll need a running Docker service, if it’s not installed yet, you can easily install it using https://get.docker.com/. I recommend creating a git repository where you can push your docker-compose and nginx config files.

Disabling IPv6 on Ubuntu 19.04 when connecting to VPN

Wed, 04 Mar 2020 22:20:43 +0000

I recently noticed that when I connect to VPN from Pop_OS (based on Ubuntu 19.10), the communication continues on the regular adapter via IPv6 in addition to the VPN interface.

This is obviously not ideal, because if we’re using the VPN for privacy, this leaks our IP address and we can be traced back without any effort. The best solution would be to completely disable IPv6 address assignment at the kernel level (by editing GRUB), but I generally use it for other purposes, so I only want to disable it when I’m connected to the VPN.

Setting up Dynamic DNS with Cloudflare on Raspberry Pi 4 – ddclient

Mon, 04 Nov 2019 19:57:31 +0000

Update 2024/06/25: Since writing this article, someone has written a script for this, which you can find here: https://github.com/K0p1-Git/cloudflare-ddns-updater . Thanks for the info to tesztszerverem.hu!

If you have a home server and want to access a service from the internet (e.g. OpenVPN), it’s worth setting up a dynamic DNS record. This article details the combined setup of Cloudflare – ddclient.

First, create an ‘A’ record with a dummy IP address (so we can later verify that the update was successful), and with a 5-minute TTL.

[LINUX] Cleaning up a full boot partition

Thu, 13 Dec 2018 20:14:47 +0000

Rarely, but it can happen that the /boot partition fills up on Linux machines, in which case it’s worth deleting the old kernels, but this isn’t always straightforward.

You can check the disk usage with the following command:

df -h

The image shows the state after cleaning, so the /boot partition is now only at 39% usage

In this case, apt-get upgrade gets interrupted during the kernel update, since there’s no more space on the partition. This constantly throws errors, and there are cases (like mine) where updates can’t run at all anymore because previous ones have failed.

Dell Visor – "Budget" VR

Mon, 20 Aug 2018 00:00:00 +0000

I’ve been eyeing VR as an entertainment option for a while, and in May I found out that Microsoft has its own template for VR headsets. The name is quite misleading, since it has nothing to do with mixed reality, despite the two cameras at the front.

Nevertheless, it’s relatively „cheap” – at least compared to the HTC Vive Pro and the Oculus Rift. In the US, you can already buy it new for a mere 200 dollars, unfortunately in our little country it’s 100k+ at the cheapest places that are still within reach. On Ebay, after many listings, I finally got an answer to my question about whether they ship to Hungary

Revoked – Migrating from Teamspeak to Discord

Mon, 13 Aug 2018 17:09:27 +0000

Hi everyone,

You can join the Discord server here.

The Teamspeak client updated itself, and the new 3.3.0 version is no longer compatible with my old Teamspeak server. I updated the server, but all settings were lost and I can’t migrate them. It recognizes my non-profit license, but if I set it to more than 32 slots, the server automatically shuts itself down. I messed around with this for a good while, but I’ve had enough, so the server will no longer be running.

Switching from Intel to AMD Ryzen

Wed, 14 Feb 2018 21:37:37 +0000

1. The road to switching

I bought my new PC back in October 2016 during my stay in Poland. The foundation of the build was an ASRock Z170 PRO4S and an i5-6600K.

I’ve been playing around with virtual machines for AD, networking and other purposes for a while now, and unfortunately it really ate up the CPU, not to mention that in games the i5-6600K was already bleeding sometimes if I was running anything else alongside it (it was at 100% utilization alongside a GTX 1060 6G), and with certain games I managed to hit a CPU bottleneck (despite it being overclocked to 4.4 GHz).

TeamSpeak Server Rules

Fri, 30 Jun 2017 14:03:27 +0000

On the TeamSpeak server, I ask that you follow the following:

– Behave like a reasonable human being.
– Don’t be childish, don’t insult others, follow the rules of netiquette, along with basic norms.
– Don’t enter someone else’s TeamSpeak room if you weren’t invited.
– Recording conversations is only allowed if everyone in the room has agreed to it.
– The room name must not be offensive to anyone.
– The server is DDoS protected, but please don’t invite script kiddies here.

World of Tanks basic explanation for starters [ENG]

Tue, 18 Oct 2016 09:54:54 +0000

Let’s start from the beginning.

All tanks have a base stat that you can achieve with a 100% crew (the commander is 100%, and the rest of the crew goes up to 110%). If this is the case, then your reload time, camo rating, vision range is the base amount that is specific to the tank and depends on the modules that are put on the tank. (better turret = better viewrange, better engine = faster acceleration/top speed) These base stats can be boosted by fitting extra equipment to the tank (such as gun rammer = faster reload, coated optics = better viewrange, ventillation = +5% on the crew skills). You can also train specific skills after you’ve reached 100% (and 110%). At first, you should go for Sixth sense for the commander, and if you’re not playing a light tank, go for repairs for rest of the crew. The light tanks have to go for sixth sense + camouflage on the rest of the crew. For second skill, go for brothers in arms.

Skype – Fixing Automatic Logout

Mon, 29 Aug 2016 20:27:07 +0000

Today I ran into the bug where the desktop version of Skype would automatically log me out within a few seconds after logging in. After some investigation, I found the cause of the problem.

The Skype and Microsoft accounts were linked to each other; after I unlinked the Microsoft account, it worked perfectly.

To unlink, you need to visit the Skype website, log in there, then go to account settings, where you can unlink the Microsoft account. After this, you’ll only be able to log in with your Skype username.

Full Web Server Installation (nginx, MySQL, PHP7, HTTP2, phpMyAdmin, SSL) – Ubuntu 16.04

Mon, 22 Aug 2016 12:37:55 +0000

This guide applies to Ubuntu 16.04, I’ll cover other versions later.

1. Installing Nginx
First, let’s update the repos:

sudo apt-get update

Then install nginx:

sudo apt-get install nginx

Then check the nginx version with the following command:

nginx -v

If we get at least version 1.10.0, everything is fine.

2. Installing MySQL
The first step is to install the MySQL server:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

Naturally, you need to fill in the root user’s password, which you’ll use to access MySQL later.
For PHP pages to run, you need to install PHP version 5 and its associated MySQL instruction set:

Sharing Wired Internet via Wi-Fi on Windows 10

Sun, 27 Mar 2016 19:57:03 +0000

First we need to launch a command prompt with administrator privileges, which we can do by typing ‘cmd’ in the start menu, then right-clicking the command prompt that appears in the search results and running it as administrator.

Then we can create the Wi-Fi network with the following command:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=yournetworkname key=yourpassword

(replace ‘yournetworkname’ with your preferred name and edit ‘yourpassword’ as you wish)

Then turn it on:

Fixing Slow Steam Downloads on Ubuntu

Sat, 26 Mar 2016 08:22:07 +0000

I installed Steam on Linux just to try it out, but I ran into the problem that when downloading games, the download speed wouldn’t climb above 15-20 kbytes/s. I tried switching download servers, switching from Wi-Fi to a wired connection, but nothing worked. Then I started searching online for solutions, which led me to the following steps that fixed my problem.

In a nutshell, the problem is that the Linux Steam client queries DNS nameservers too frequently, which quickly overwhelms the network. The solution is to install a DNS cache on the system, which we can do as follows:

Fixing nVidia Optimus Driver Crashes with Integrated and Dedicated GPUs

Tue, 09 Feb 2016 21:41:58 +0000

Many people buy a laptop that has two graphics cards. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 3-4-5000, as well as a dedicated card. If the dedicated card is nVidia, the system typically uses nVidia Optimus to decide whether to use the integrated or dedicated graphics card at any given moment (based on resource demands and power efficiency).

The system usually dynamically switches between the dedicated and integrated GPUs, however this can cause errors and freezes in many games and applications, and the nvidia drivers regularly crash because of this.

Installing Squid Proxy on Ubuntu Server

Tue, 09 Feb 2016 19:10:16 +0000

First, let’s update the repositories:

apt-get update

Then install the proxy software and the associated password generator:

apt-get install squid apache2-utils

Once that’s done, let’s create an empty configuration file:

rm -rf /etc/squid/squid.conf
touch /etc/squid/squid.conf
chown proxy /etc/squid/squid.conf

Then create the password file:

touch /etc/squid/squid_passwd

Then grant permissions to the proxy:

chown proxy /etc/squid/squid_passwd

Start editing the configuration file:

nano /etc/squid/squid.conf

and add the following lines (for http_port, specify the port you want to connect to the proxy on):

Call of Duty: United Offensive Linux Server and Other Goodies

Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:17:47 +0000

I’ve been planning for a long time to write a guide about one of my favorite games, Call of Duty United Offensive. For me, this was the best game back in the day alongside MoHAA, because IT HAD TANKS!

We played the hell out of it on Kursk, Carentan, Fox, and the Bas maps.

I feel like because of all the fun I had, I owe it to the game to not let it disappear into obscurity, so below I’ll describe how to set up a Linux dedicated server, how to configure 1920x1080p resolution, which ports need to be opened, and maybe I’ll even have time to cover mods.

Earson ER-151 Bluetooth Speaker

Wed, 21 Oct 2015 08:16:09 +0000

My sister bought herself a bluetooth speaker a few weeks ago, which sounded great, so I decided to order one for myself too. Since I’m a broke college student, I aimed for the lower price range. After a brief search, I found the ER-151 on Banggood, which with its discount to around 5000 HUF fit my budget. The buyers’ feedback was quite positive, everyone praised its quality and volume, so I went ahead and ordered it. It was ordered on September 24th and arrived on October 20th.

Rainbow Six: Siege

Tue, 06 Oct 2015 17:36:10 +0000

With the help of my friend Aqwis, I got my hands on a beta key for the game in the title, which several of us tried out. Below I’d like to summarize my experiences.

Here’s a video I made about the game:

First of all, the game itself kept me engaged, which is presumably because it wasn't made for hardcore gamers (at least not as hardcore as the earlier Rainbow games). My first issue started with the fact that the game is on Uplay, which is a pretty big black mark, since I think Uplay is a pile of misfortune and a crime to integrate into games.

The game has two game modes (for now, in the beta): one is terrorist hunt, where you have to clear a house of terrorists, with up to 5 players. It’s a fairly entertaining game mode, but the kamikaze terrorists are quite annoying. Partly because the game’s netcode is PRETTY TERRIBLE, and partly because if you have a shield, you have no chance of escaping, and shooting back with this netcode is pretty difficult.

Man on the dam – by bike (Mindszent – Szeged)

Sun, 20 Sep 2015 07:31:11 +0000

Recently our friend group set out on the „Man on the Dam„ tour, which is the Mindszent – Szeged route along the embankment, about ~50 km. We decided to do it by bike, since walking 50 km would have been quite a lot (I’ve done it before, it really is a lot) without any preparation.

We took the 17:21 train from Szeged, which consisted of three carriages. Currently MÁV has a promotion where you can transport bikes for free on weekends. This was a bit problematic, since the three carriages could barely fit 8 bikes. Those who arrived after us (another group) couldn’t board the train because their bikes wouldn’t fit. (you could see on the poor conductor lady that she was about to cry from frustration)

Summer status report – vacation, work and Rust

Tue, 11 Aug 2015 17:05:40 +0000

I finally managed to carve out some time for the blog, so here’s my post, in case anyone’s interested 🙂

So, how has my summer been so far? Well, in July I went kayaking on the Danube, starting from DonauEschingen down to Regensburg, on one of the most beautiful stretches of the river. I’ll write more about this in a later post, since it was a fantastic experience and I can only recommend it to everyone. As soon as I got back from vacation, I gave myself a week off, then got to work. I’ve been busy with that ever since, and when I’m not working or having fun, I’m on the computer — specifically my newly discovered favorite, Rust.

Windows 10 – opinion and experience

Fri, 24 Jul 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Recently I installed the final version of the Windows 10 Technical Preview, which is practically identical to the final release (which comes out on the 29th). I didn’t want to mess around with it too much, since my PC doesn’t have a DVD drive and I can’t find my 8 GB flash drive anywhere, so my only option was to upgrade from Windows 7.

I started by downloading the latest Windows 10 build via torrent, since the image file was no longer available on the Insider site, but I got eager and wanted to install it no matter what. The image file downloaded fine, I mounted it to a virtual drive with Daemon Tools. The upgrade started, asked if I wanted to delete everything or keep my personal files. I decided to keep my personal things, since I hadn’t upgraded Windows this way before. The installer started copying files, then restarted, and the system was upgraded in about 15 minutes.

WoT Modpack for 9.14 by ZoliBen

Wed, 15 Jul 2015 07:00:38 +0000

*\* Updated to 9.14.3! ****

*** IMPORTANT!!! You must delete the 0.9.14.1 folder inside the res_mods folder, and copy the contents of the downloaded zip into the game directory. Rename the newly copied 0.9.14 folder to 0.9.14.1!***

I put together a WoT mod pack that contains supposedly legal mods. It includes the following:

– XVM (displaying statistics)

– Zoom mod (up to 30x zoom)

– Artillery mod (arty view from an angled perspective instead of top-down)

World of Warships – Open Beta

Wed, 01 Jul 2015 06:16:31 +0000

I participated in the closed beta test as well, and I thought I’d share my experience with the different ship types and provide some tips.

When you start the game, you begin with a cruiser. Basically you can only play against bots until you earn enough experience points and reach the appropriate account level that unlocks random battles.

Good places in Szeged – Part 1 (Bohém tanya)

Tue, 16 Jun 2015 08:25:10 +0000

I had the idea of collecting the entertainment venues in Szeged and sharing my opinions about them.

In this week’s post I’m putting Bohém tanya under the microscope, since I spent pretty much my entire week there and it became one of my favorite places, and I think it’ll become a regular spot in our friend group.

The backstory is that back in high school we used to visit the Pivo pub quite often, but to be honest it’s not a particularly good place (I’ll get into that in a later post). A buddy of mine suggested over the weekend that we check out the bohém garden, as it’s a pretty cool place. At first sight I „fell in love„ — the outdoor garden is spacious, there’s plenty of room, the atmosphere is great and there are always enough people, yet it’s not crowded. A bonus is that there’s a food stand right next to it, so while drinking beer you can order all sorts of goodies (pizza, gyros, etc.) if you get hungry. There’s an indoor area too, but it’s not worth using in the summer since it can get quite hot.

folder, then open the config.xml file and find the following line, and delete it entirely:

<AdvertPlaceholder>1</AdvertPlaceholder>

Save it, then right-click the file, properties, and check the „Read-only” option, click OK, and you can start Skyping without ads 🙂

CheVolume – Or How to Play Any Music on Any Device

Mon, 11 May 2015 16:48:11 +0000

I have a habit of streaming music to my friends when we’re playing. I used to pipe the music through TeamSpeak, but for some reason TS got tired of it after a while and decided not to relay the music completely, so I had to look for another solution. I found the solution in the combination of Virtual Audio Cable and Icecast, which I’ll explain right away.

Virtual Audio Cable, as the name suggests, creates a virtual audio cable, the point of which is that you can set specific programs to output/play their sounds on a particular playback device. This is interesting because I only wanted to pipe the music through – it would have been pretty weird if the entire speaker content was relayed, since then people would have heard themselves back. The “cable” created by Virtual Audio Cable was then streamed via a program called Butt to my Icecast server, which my friends could listen to as a web radio.

World of Tanks 9.7 Realistic Gun Sounds

Sat, 25 Apr 2015 06:18:23 +0000

I don’t fundamentally have any issues with WoT’s sound design, but this mod is simply fantastic! Playing with it is much more enjoyable, and you really get immersed in the battle 🙂

You can download the mod from here. (it’s for version 9.7)

Installation:

There are two folders in the ZIP, res and res_mods. These need to be copied into the WoT installation folder, overwriting the old files.

Its fantastic name is: [HUN] ZoliBen Csupra(kabra) – fittingly

To make everything run smoothly on the server, it’s recommended to download this addon pack.

How can you connect to this fantastic server? Simply add this IP address to your favorites list!

IP: 87.117.200.66:27015

The rules are written on the server, please follow them. Currently there are two admins, ZoliBen (me), and gtadam (when his PC isn’t crashing)

Downloading Garry's Mod Server Addons

Wed, 22 Apr 2015 14:30:04 +0000

Anyone who has a dedicated GMod server has probably encountered the error where the server can’t download larger addons from the workshop, showing “Download fail”.

The only solution for this is if the addon is already downloaded on your home computer as well, which you can find at the following location:

Steam/steamapps/common/GarrysMod/garrysmod/addons/

Here you can find the addon by name, which in my case looks like this:

garrys_bombs_5_base_edition_290395033.gma

Upload this to the server’s GMod addons folder, then rename it so that only the number sequence at the end remains, with a “ds_” prefix added before it:

EasyBCD – Easy Boot Configuration

Tue, 21 Apr 2015 07:46:30 +0000

Because of university, I need a Linux installation as well, but due to the limited RAM in my machine, the virtual machine solution isn’t the best. (plus it’s good to have something else alongside Windows in case something goes wrong)

You can struggle a lot with the boot order/menu, which can be done very easily with a program called EasyBCD.

The main menu looks like this:

The current boot settings can be edited under Edit Boot Menu, where you can set which operating system to start by default, as well as configure the order and the timer for how long the menu is available.

GTA V Freezing Fix While Aiming

Mon, 20 Apr 2015 08:23:51 +0000

Many people experience the bug in Grand Theft Auto V where the game freezes when they try to shoot out of a vehicle window during a mission.

Rockstar hasn’t been able to fix the bug so far, but there is a temporary workaround:

When you start the mission and get into the car, take out your phone and enter the Snapmatic app (you don’t necessarily need to take a picture), then close it and exit the phone. After that, you can shoot without the game freezing. The fix only works until you restart the game!

Installing qBittorrent on Ubuntu

Sat, 18 Apr 2015 15:10:09 +0000

Many people have become disillusioned with utorrent in recent months, including myself. I looked into other torrent clients and found qBittorrent. It’s simply fantastic! Its web client works perfectly in mobile browsers, and the system itself is very stable.

It can be installed on Ubuntu as follows:

You need to add its repository to the cache:

C&C Kane's Wrath Maps

Fri, 17 Apr 2015 08:23:29 +0000

Many people may have encountered the problem that if they have C&C Ultimate Collection or Origin version of Kane’s Wrath, they cannot install custom maps. The problem can be solved as follows:

If it’s the Origin version, download the fixed C&C launchers (they fix all games in the Ultimate Collection, but only if they are already installed)
Optionally download the map pack (which contains many maps)
Copy the contents of the Maps folder to:

C:\Users\[Username]\appdata\roaming\Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath\Maps

Start the game, and if everything went well, you will see the maps.

Fallout 3 Fix/Repair

Wed, 08 Apr 2015 22:32:16 +0000

I’d been thinking about starting Fallout 3 after New Vegas for a while, since that game really appealed to me. The only problem I had with it was that it would randomly freeze at irregular intervals, and since I don’t save often, it was incredibly frustrating. (plus on my machine, nothing helped except a full system restart)

Thanks to my hardworking friend, this problem of mine was solved, and here I’ll describe how to eliminate the issue.

TF2 – Surf Server

Wed, 01 Apr 2015 10:07:02 +0000

Back in 2008-2009 I surfed a lot in TF2, and the other day I started a poll on the server to see who would be interested in a surf server. (it’s not hosted locally in Hungary, so the ping is a bit higher) The poll ended positively, so here’s the server:

IP address: 5.45.181.158:27015

The buttons on the maps can be used as follows: you need to bind the +use command to a key, which you can do like this:

Observium

Sun, 29 Mar 2015 08:21:11 +0000

I was having some issues with my VPS instances (they would sometimes go down), so I looked for a monitoring system that would alert me when a VPS goes offline and also save statistical data. I initially looked at NodeQuery, but the problem with it was that it only updated every 5 minutes, so if a VPS became unavailable for 1-2 minutes, it barely noticed. I checked out other options too, but eventually settled on Observium.

Vanilla Forum

Sat, 28 Mar 2015 23:49:10 +0000

This is for those who have installed a Vanilla forum and after a while get the “Something went wrong” error. The error is caused by Vanilla’s caching – Smarty cannot access the cache folders, so it throws an error. It doesn’t show up at first, only when Vanilla would start caching.

The permissions of the cache/Smarty/compile folder need to be set to 777. And everything else in the cache/ folder too. (just to be safe 😉 )

Energy Performance Certificate in Szentes

Fri, 27 Mar 2015 11:47:31 +0000

In Europe, 40 percent of all consumed energy is used in buildings, which is why the European Union places special emphasis on the energy efficiency of residential buildings and public institutions. The introduction of energy performance certification is mandatory for all member states.

Website: http://tanusitvany-szentes.hu/

Why is this needed?

If you purchase a household appliance or technical device, you can see its energy rating, which informs you about how economical or wasteful the given device is. The same was introduced for properties, so that if someone wants to buy a property, they can have adequate information about how efficient the energy consumption of their chosen property is.

Project X – explaining yourself

Wed, 18 Mar 2015 19:22:24 +0000

Cinema City once had a program where you had to write an explanatory letter to your parents, imagining yourself in the shoes of the party organizers. Here’s mine, with which I won 5 tickets to the premiere: 🙂

„Hi Dad!

Something I need to tell you. There was a little accident, but don't worry! Remember when I told you I wanted to throw together a little house party for my birthday? Well, I did…

I created a Facebook page for the party, where we discussed with friends who would bring what to the party, and stuff like that. Everything was going fine up to that point, but it seems I forgot to log out of Facebook on one of the computers at school, and some jerk made the event public as a prank. And you know my friends… they invited all their friends to the event. By the time I noticed, 200 people had already indicated on the page that they'd be at the party. I wrote that the party was cancelled, but they completely ignored it, so I deleted the event and forgot about it.

On my birthday, me and my friends got together, had fun, had a good time.

Around 9 PM, a few people showed up asking „is the überparty happening here?” Believe me, I tried to send them away, but more and more people kept coming, and they cared less and less about what I was saying. When there were about 50 of them, some lunatic yelled out „LET THE PARTY BEGIN!” I still can't believe it, but somehow a few speakers appeared, and more drinks than I've ever seen in my life. You know me, you know how responsible I am! I tried to sort this out for a while, I even cut the power, but they had generators, plus they made a deal with the neighbor to give them electricity.

Eventually it got to the point where I called the police, two patrol cars came out, but they didn't want to intervene, in fact, they started partying too! (As it turned out later, one of the police officers' kids had invited the entire police station to the party!) By then I really felt that something completely inexplicable was going to come of this. When I went inside the house to think about what I could do, they followed me in, raided the fridge and made themselves at home, but don't worry, they didn't break anything, everything is fine inside the house.

Uhh, the car, yes… Let me explain! So, the music was really loud, which I guess attracted the local criminals. So while I was busy trying to keep order, a few sleazy guys climbed over the fence and tried to steal your car. Right in front of our eyes!!! (today's criminals have no shred of decency!) When I noticed this, I ran out with a few partygoers by my side, holding mom's pepper spray, and I sprayed the jerk sitting at the wheel in the face. Instead of getting out, he floored the gas pedal while blinded, nearly running over 20 people. Fortunately, a song had just ended, so they heard my shout, and nobody got hurt (I hope you're proud of me for keeping my cool!) As the jerk drove off blindly, he was heading straight for the pool, and managed to drive the car right into it. I know, I know, I know, calm down! The car wasn't damaged at all! Good thing there was a tow truck driver at the party, so we quickly pulled the car out of the pool before any water could get inside. Not a single scratch on it! (the jerks were eventually arrested by the two patrols, thank god at least they did something about that)

After that I was completely devastated, I tried to call you, but the phones weren't working, at least there was no signal, probably the magnetic field from the speakers was interfering with them. I didn't notice, but some partygoers started barbecuing in the garden, and I guess they couldn't light the charcoal, so they must have poured some flammable liquid on it, thereby setting fire to the charcoal and the tree next to it. I immediately called the fire department when I saw this, but by the time they arrived, the fire had already spread to the house. The sirens scared the partygoers, so they scattered in moments, leaving nothing behind but trash. The fire was quickly put out, although the roof isn't quite the same anymore. No worries, I looked into it, the insurance will pay for it, besides, I heard you and mom talking about needing to renovate the house because the termites had eaten through the beams.

The rest of the party mess, me and my friends have already cleaned up, everything is fine! I know it sounds unbelievable, but believe me, I really didn't want this! Next time I'll plan the party much more carefully, and not at home.

It's incredible how irresponsible some people can be…”

HLSTATX:CE on the Dusty Mice Purgatory & thoughts

Mon, 02 Mar 2015 16:45:54 +0000

I’m happy to announce that I finally managed to install the HLstatX Community Edition plugin on my Dusty Mice Purgatory (tf2) server, which allows tracking people’s statistics. The statistics can be accessed in-game, or here on my website. You can find the link HERE, as well as on the right side of the website next to the server IP address.

The other thing I want to talk about (for quite a while now) is the problem with players who are „too good” at this game. Don’t laugh at this, of course they have every right to be good if they’ve played x thousand hours. The problems start when these people take themselves way too seriously on a casual fooling-around orange server, and completely humiliate casual players (who usually have at most 1-200 hours).

VPS Switch

Mon, 23 Feb 2015 20:17:19 +0000

I previously wrote a post about mikrovps.eu, concluding that it’s a very good host. Unfortunately, everything changes over time, and this was true here as well. I don’t know the background, I can only guess. I assume the owner took advantage of OpenVZ’s characteristics, and oversold the number of VPS instances on a node to the point where it became unstable, and my TF2 server on it was constantly lagging. I reported this to the operator, and they supposedly moved me to another node, but the problem persisted there too, so I decided to try the szerverplex.hu KVM package. Everything worked right away, setting up the system was simple, you can install pretty much anything on it, and I get unlimited data transfer (supposedly) on 100 mbit. I also set up the TF2 server today, and so far the feedback is that it’s perfect, no lag at all.

WoT Hellcat Stronghold Tactic

ETR vs. Neptun

Tue, 27 Jan 2015 05:33:14 +0000

Today I had a rather pleasant surprise. The ETR system didn’t crash at SZTE! Over the past two years it crashed every time, but this year it didn’t! That’s quite a good result considering that Neptun always crashes. I’m glad they managed to develop a system that doesn’t buckle under the task it was designed for. Sincere congratulations to the developers 🙂

Installing Plex Media Server on Ubuntu Server

Fri, 02 Jan 2015 23:02:57 +0000

For the installation, we need the media server file matching our system from the Plex website, which can be found here.

Copying the package download link, download it to the VPS or server machine:

wget https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server/0.9.15.3.1674-f46e7e6/plexmediaserver_0.9.15.3.1674-f46e7e6_amd64.deb

Then install the downloaded file:

dpkg --install plexmediaserver_0.9.15.3.1674-f46e7e6_amd64.deb

If it complains about missing dependencies, you can install them with the following command:

apt-get -f install

Then navigate to the /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/ directory, and edit the Preferences.xml file using nano or vi, by adding the following line after the Preferences word in the file (replacing 1.2.3.4 with your own IP address):

Installing BTsync on Ubuntu Server

Tue, 30 Dec 2014 17:10:48 +0000

Some of you probably know BTsync, it’s a very useful little program. Basically it’s used for transferring files over the BitTorrent protocol. Here’s how to install it:

To add sources to the apt repository, you need to install the necessary packages first, if you haven’t already:

apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties

Then add the source:

add-apt-repository ppa:tuxpoldo/btsync

Then run an update:

apt-get update

And install the program itself:

apt-get install btsync

You’ll also need a web server, both nginx and apache work fine.

Useful Programs

Tue, 30 Dec 2014 00:05:35 +0000

CheVolume (any music on any device)

EasyBCD (easy boot menu editing)

Medal of Honor Allied Assault (with add-ons and fixes for Windows 8.1 too)

Another VPS in My Possession

Mon, 29 Dec 2014 23:03:05 +0000

Today I came across an interesting package from the provider MyRSK, first on lowendtalk, which I only glanced at, then my friend linked it to me and pointed out certain details. I didn’t hesitate any longer, I’d been looking for a decent VPS with relatively lots of RAM and no monthly payment, so I ordered the package, which has the following specs:

2 shared CPU cores
200 GB HDD
2 TB monthly data transfer
2 GB RAM

I ran a quick benchmark on it, here are the results:

Installing Java on Ubuntu

Sun, 28 Dec 2014 21:42:36 +0000

If you want to run a Java app on a fresh Ubuntu server, (say Minecraft) then you first need to install the appropriate Java runtime. You can do this as follows:

Update the apt repository with the following command:

sudo apt-get update

Then check if Java is already installed:

java -version

Install the Java Runtime Environment with the following command:

sudo apt-get install default-jre

And for the Java Development Kit, use this:

Black Christmas

Sun, 28 Dec 2014 08:41:59 +0000

At 21 years old, I wouldn’t call myself old, but I’m increasingly saddened by the fact that in recent years we haven’t had a white Christmas at all. In the past, there was huge snow at Christmas, we spent the whole day out in the garden while Little Jesus brought the tree and the presents. Nowadays there’s no snow, and even Little Jesus needs help.

It is interesting though, that a week ago there were spring thunderstorms across the country, with massive lightning, then spring-like weather on December 22nd, spiced up with ten-something degrees, sunshine and blue skies. It seems that winter is becoming more erratic and shifting. It was interesting to see snowfall on March 15th, which as far as I can remember never happened before.

T-Home (or Telekom or T-Online or whatever)

Thu, 18 Dec 2014 12:17:41 +0000

I’ve been with this company for quite a few years now, and I haven’t experienced much good from them. Well, to be honest, in the last two months their internet has been quite normal, but before that it was absolutely terrible. Around August I wanted to change my package, which took them about 3 months to sort out. Before that though, the line quality was scandalous, it dropped the internet every minute, the other residents in the building didn’t have IPTV, and the customer service guy was outrageous. I called 1412, and after about an hour of waiting, they took my fault report. The next day the service technician called, saying he was checking my router here, but he thought it was bad because it was „misconfigured” By this he meant that I had forwarded about 15 ports on the router’s graphical interface towards the internet. Never mind, it’s my fault for wanting to use the router as intended, so I reset it. (naturally it didn’t work) After that, I got the advice to connect another router after it, and then connect my PC to that. What nonsense! But the funny thing is, it worked. (the internet dropping every half minute stopped) Two years prior, of course, they said you shouldn’t connect a router after it, because it could damage the Telekom box.

MOHAA Dedicated Server on Ubuntu 12.04

Sun, 14 Dec 2014 10:02:47 +0000

Back in the day I played Medal of Honor Allied Assault a lot, I think it’s the best game in the series and my personal favorite. Yesterday I somehow felt like picking the game up again, but I ran into several issues. For one, I don’t have a DVD drive in my PC, I somehow managed to tear off the CD keys from my Warchest collection, plus with GameSpy shutting down, it wasn’t really possible to find servers. After a bit of searching online, I found the modded version of MOHAA (plus Breakthrough and Spearhead), where they replace the GameSpy server browser, add FullHD resolution support and whatnot. (plus it runs perfectly on win 8.1 64 bit) The download from their server was pretty slow, so I uploaded it here as a mirror, which you can download from the Downloads page, or from here.

iPad Air restoration

Thu, 04 Dec 2014 00:00:00 +0000

A few months ago I was foolish enough to update my Air to 8.1, despite having a perfectly set up 7.1.2 jailbroken with all my favorite tweaks installed. I could tolerate 8.1 up until now, so I decided to downgrade back to 7.1.2.

Here’s the guide on how to do it:

ShareX – the all-rounder

Mon, 01 Dec 2014 08:04:49 +0000

I used to use Dropbox because I really liked its screenshot feature (it uploads the image to Dropbox right away and copies the link to the clipboard), but what was a bit annoying was that it couldn’t do this with other files — those had to be manually copied to its folder, you had to wait for them to upload, then copy the link. I searched for a good while before I found the solution: ShareX. All I can say about this program is that it’s perfect. Want to upload an image? No problem. Full screen, region, window, it handles anything. You can upload files any way you want — from clipboard, from selection, from anything. But the best thing about it is that you can set where you want to upload to. It has everything, from FTP to Dropbox to Google Drive, and many more.

World of Tanks matchmaking

Fri, 28 Nov 2014 23:28:58 +0000

Well, I have to admit that I’ve been playing a game called World of Tanks for a while now. 15 days ago I decided to invest in a month of premium, but to be honest, the matchmaking (player selection per match) in this game is quite disappointing. It happens very often that I get paired with completely new or very weak players, even though the enemy team has several players with a 50% or higher win rate (meaning they know what they’re doing). It’s incredibly frustrating when my team bleeds out within a few minutes while I’m left there having dealt 1-2-3 thousand damage, but there are simply so many enemies that I can’t handle them all. My friend even wrote them a support ticket explaining his concerns about the matchmaking, but the kind WOT developers stated that they intentionally made the matchmaking this way. Great.

SourceMod finally

Fri, 21 Nov 2014 20:55:10 +0000

I finally found the solution to the SourceMod bug that was driving me crazy. Around August, an update came out for TF2 servers that broke the then-current SourceMod, and you couldn’t start the server because it kept throwing a segmentation fault error. Today I finally managed to find a combination of MetaMod and SourceMod that makes the server run normally. I’ve uploaded these to the Downloads page in case anyone needs them. Hallelujah.

MikroVPS experience

Thu, 20 Nov 2014 00:45:11 +0000

I’ve tried many VPS and dedicated servers worldwide (mainly in Europe and the USA) and was mostly satisfied with them. Naturally, I had some bad experiences, but you learn from your own mistakes. Currently I have VPS instances with most of the major “LowEnd” providers, but my issue with them was always that they weren’t close enough to me, meaning my ping to them was worse than if they were in Hungary.

Disqus comment system

Thu, 20 Nov 2014 00:05:53 +0000

I installed the Disqus comment system on the blog, as I find it more transparent than WP’s built-in system, plus it’s much more widely used. I know there hasn’t been a single comment on the website yet, but you have to prepare for the future 😉

YouTube 60 FPS and the Sony Vegas case

Sun, 16 Nov 2014 23:21:55 +0000

I had already been rendering my last few videos in 60 FPS, since I was preparing for the YouTube 60 FPS playback that had already been introduced. Today I managed to edit one of my videos, rendered it using the previous settings, and uploaded it to YouTube. It was processed, but unfortunately the 60 FPS playback option just wouldn’t appear. I looked into it and it turned out that Vegas rendered it in 30 FPS instead of 60, because the render profile had the setting that the source could also determine the FPS. That was a big mistake, but whatever, this video of mine will stay like this now 🙁

The downloads

Sun, 16 Nov 2014 00:15:01 +0000

Well, I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time, but I finally got around to it. Alongside my personal cloud (ownCloud installation), I always wanted a small mirror server where I could save patches, Hungarian localizations, or other files that are important to me, so that they’d be accessible to others as well. You can access the downloads by clicking the “Downloads” link in the left sidebar.

If you have any requests or suggestions, or if you’d like to see a patch from some foreign site that limits download speed, or is just hard to find, let me know in the comments and I’ll try to upload it.

Installing OpenVPN server on Ubuntu server

Thu, 13 Nov 2014 20:02:26 +0000

I searched the internet a lot before a friend recommended this script, with which you can easily set up your own secure OpenVPN server.

What you’ll need:

PuTTY or any other SSH client capable of establishing a connection
A server/VPS running Ubuntu 18.04 or 19.04
For VPS: enabled TUN/TAP modules
Minimal command-line knowledge

First, you need to download the script, which you can do by running the following command:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/angristan/openvpn-install/master/openvpn-install.sh && chmod +x openvpn-install.sh

Run the script with root privileges:

My blog

Tue, 11 Nov 2014 09:45:48 +0000

Hi there!

I’ve been thinking about starting a personal blog for a long time. Naturally, I won’t be discussing my life here, but rather putting together short pieces on various topics.

By this I mean IT-related and biological brainstorming, as well as ~~political commentary~~. And some occasional silliness, of course. On the website, among other things, you can (will be able to) find the contact information for the services running on my servers, such as game servers, TeamSpeak server, cloud storage, etc.
