Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: I discuss using distinct hosts to improve page speed. Browsers limit connections per host; older ones to 4–8. Many page elements cause repeated handshakes and overhead. Example: de.png is 129 bytes, but HTTP exchange is 1,822 bytes. Steps include DNS, TCP handshake, request/response, data transfer, ack. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Post is about Dragon Age: Origins DLC issues on PC, especially with Steam. DLC is handled via Games for Windows Live despite Steam. Preorder keys unlock multiple DLCs. Theory: redeem code and download in-game. In practice, many see empty DLC menus despite login. Solution varies; first ensure codes are redeemed. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Upcoming post on WordPress page speed: I’ll cover simple methods to speed up blogs. Today: ETag.

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Arriving in China felt chaotic: fog, honking, like Egypt. We reached the hotel late; staff’s broken English made us think our rooms were gone. After 30 minutes, we learned they’d moved us from West to East Tower. Later, WCG Grand Final. First supermarket visit: bought two drinks, couldn’t understand the price. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: My daily rhythm is back, so here are brief impressions. Travel: We left Bochum 7:30, picked up rental car, one person overslept. Collected uniforms in Düsseldorf, tons of boxes, carried them down three floors, parking hassle. More gear in Groß-Gerau, then Frankfurt Airport, gathered players, security delays due to camera gear and lead batteries, then 11-hour flight to Korea. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: I can’t say if UDP would be better for Aion. Aion uses TCP, which is safer but slower because it confirms each packet; UDP is “fire and forget.” Disabling the Nagle algorithm can lower in-game ping up to 100%, but may reduce LAN transfer speeds. Test it yourself; use /ping to check. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Part 2 covers the case. My Antec 900 has defects, so I’m getting a new one: SilverStone RV02. The motherboard is rotated 90°, ports on top under a flap for cleaner cabling. Bottom fans improve airflow, good for multi-GPU. Shipping starts tomorrow. CPU cooler: switching to Scythe Mugen 2. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: GCO and Gamescom got me excited for fall game releases. I grabbed some sample hardware and will upgrade my gaming PC after two years. First: CPU. Bought an Intel Core i7-650 (3.06 GHz, LGA1366) for €350. Hyperthreading (4 cores, 8 threads), QPI instead of FSB. Not an Extreme CPU—price not worth it. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: I didn’t have a game that excited me, so I experimented in the evenings. Used an old USB webcam and C# to build a motion detector that only reacts to a green laser. I bought some cheap servos to make a tilt/shift setup with a red laser that follows the green one. Video demo included. ...
