EasyBCD – Easy Boot Configuration

EasyBCD – Easy Boot Configuration

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

GTA V Freezing Fix While Aiming

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

Installing qBittorrent on Ubuntu

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:

add-apt-repository ppa:qbittorrent-team/qbittorrent-stable

Update the source list:

apt-get update

Depending on whether you want only the web client or also the desktop client, install accordingly:

Fallout 3 Fix/Repair

Fallout 3 Fix/Repair

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

TF2 – Surf Server

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

Observium

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

Vanilla Forum

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

Energy Performance Certificate in Szentes

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.
