Good places in Szeged – Part 1 (Bohém tanya)

Good places in Szeged – Part 1 (Bohém tanya)

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.

Removing Skype ads

Removing Skype ads

In the latest Skype, the ad bar above conversations is quite annoying, so I’ll share how to get rid of it.

Exit Skype completely, then in File Explorer navigate to

C:/Users/YourUsername/App Data/Roaming/Skype/YourSkypename

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

CheVolume – Or How to Play Any Music on Any Device

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.

Downloading Garry’s Mod Server Addons

Downloading Garry's Mod Server Addons

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:
