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:
I ran a quick benchmark on it, here are the results:
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:
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.
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.
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.
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:
If your iPad is not jailbroken:
Step 1: Download the iOS version matching your iPad version from the downloads page.
These are the moments that make playing worth it.

Now that I’ve finally managed to buy the IS-8 and realized that its armor is made of paper, here’s an IS3 match where I managed to rack up 3.3k dmg.

Well, I finally reached 100% crew training on the Hellcat, and to celebrate, I converted one of my matches where I managed to ram an enemy with my Hellcat. This TD is a fantastic tank 🙂

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.
