Stellaris and AZERTY Keyboard

-



Paradox Interactive did a great job with Stellaris Game, as you may read on internet.
So I did spent 40€ for the game, and I was unpleasantly surprised that AZERTY Keyboard are not supported... WTF in 2016 !!! In 1995 we had configurable key binding and probably before that... (Can't remember).

I've search a bit and couldn't find an Out Of The Box solution, so here is a step by step instruction.

  1. Go to the AutoHotkey Homepage. https://autohotkey.com/
  2. Click Download. https://autohotkey.com/download/ahk-install.exe
  3. Run akh-install.exe to install AutoHotkey
  4. Right click on your desktop, New, "AutoHotkey", name it "Stellaris AZERTY.ahk"
  5. Copy paste the script below :  
     #SingleInstance Force  
 #MaxHotkeysPerInterval 99999  
 ;start game  
 Run, "steam://rungameid/281990"  
 ;"fix" keys  
 ;#IfWinActive ahk_class stellaris  
 ;#Persistent  
 ;#UseHook  
 z::w  
 w::z  
 a::q  
 q::a
  6. Save
  7. Right click on the .ahk file and click "Compile".
    This will create an executable file of the name of the script, that will run Stellaris.
  8. Launch "Stellaris azerty key bindings.exe" to launch the game in AZERTY mode

Note :
  • Run, "steam://rungameid/281990" :  to get this, you just need to right click, properties on the Stellaris shortcut from Steam.
  • IfWinActive, uncommenting and setting the proper keyword (like Stellaris) would limit the keybinding to the Stellaris game.
    With this commented, the keybinding are changed for the whole system, and you have to kill the "Stellaris azerty key bindings.exe" process to revert back.
    I'll test later, for now, I want to play ;)
  • It only change zqwa keys for now, I'll update the script if more is needed

Upgrade Slimframework v3 to v4, how I did it

-
Here is an article that details my path to upgrade to Slimframework v3 to v4. I'm developing on my freetime an application that manage the fundraising of the French Red Cross, and I'm updating a lot of frameworks to their last version (AngularJS to Angular 8/9 is my big next move). You can find the project sources here : https://github.com/dev-mansonthomas/RedCrossQuest There’s quite a lot of breaking changes involved, feature removed in profit to external frameworks, the upgrade documentation is quite minimal, but you must read it to understand what's changing : http://www.slimframework.com/docs/v4/start/upgrade.html This article is not well redacted, it’s just a log of what I did to achieve the upgrade, but I feel it may help some, so here we are ;) What I've read to perform the upgrade I’ve read theses article to help the transition to the 4.x  https://akrabat.com/a-first-look-at-slim-4/ https://dzone.com/articles/a-first-look-at-slim-4 ...

Reset Bacula database and files

Today I need to purge my bacula for several reasons. Here is how I did. First backup the database and files used in your previous setup, one never knows you might actually need it after the purge... /usr/bin/mysqldump -aecqQ bacula > bacula_before_purge.sql and copy the volumes and bsr files. Stop bacula : service bacula-director stop service bacula-fd stop service bacula-sd stop then : mysql -u root -p drop database bacula; create database bacula; quit next we need to recreate bacula tables. There's a bacula script to do that, but the file needs to be changed to set the correct database name. cp /usr/share/bacula-director/make_mysql_tables ~/ vi ~/make_mysql_tables change XXX_DBNAME_XXX by your bacula database (let's say 'bacula') save and exit. then run as root the script ~/make_mysql_tables it should have recreated the tables : mysql -u root -p use bacula; show tables; +------------------+ | Tables_in_bacula | +-----------...

Limit the upload bandwidth of your apache webserver with mod_bw

I've a server at home on a ADSL connection which has 100kBytes/s of upload and 1.2MBytes/s of download as bandwidth. If someone download at full speed some large file on my web server, my internet connection become unusable. To avoid this, I start to ask my friends to use a download manager to limit their download speed... but it's somewhat far too tricky for a lot of them... So I use mod_bw developed by Ivan Barrera http://www.ivn.cl/apache/ (sourceforge : http://bwmod.sourceforge.net/ ). Here is a quick way to limit the bandwidth used by Apache : Install & enable (on Ubuntu): sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-bw sudo a2enmod bw Configure (your apache virtualhost conf file like /etc/apache2/sites-available/default) : <virtualhost *:80> #... other config stuf for the virtual host BandWidthModule On ForceBandWidthModule On BandWidth 192.168.0.0/24 0 BandWidth all 80000 </virtualhost> Explaination : line 1 : Activate the mod for the virtualhost. line 2 : Set a...
