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.

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.

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.

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 😉

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 🙁

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.

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:

I know, I know, this isn’t a Hungarian holiday and it should be condemned anyway, but if you happen to be looking for a server, or perhaps a VPS, then it’s worth browsing Lowendbox between November 23-29, as many providers offer significant discounts on their already low prices.

You’ve been warned.

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.

Speak!
