There are no specific language versions of BOINC Manager. Instead, BOINC Manager uses a language.po file, which gets its language updates from https://explore.transifex.com/boinc/boinc/, which is a site where users can update the language files.

Just saying, you can wait for the Norwegian updater to fix the typo, or you can make an account there and check if the typo is still in the newest version of the Norwegian translation, and if so, fix it yourself. Then it'll be updated in a future version of BOINC.

We had 22 parties we could choose from these last elections, of which only 15 managed to get enough votes for seats.
How these parties will now continue, you can best read at https://www.houseofrepresentatives.nl/elections, which is a lengthy process, can take a year.

Nah. Let's first see if the PVV gets into government, as almost all other (bigger) parties have ruled out to govern with them.
It should be a wake-up call, though. Because if they ignore this party and go form government without it, then the following elections, the PVV will become even bigger. Especially with these hateful flags being flown in demonstrations in the streets.

As you can read, this year they have a disclaimer about who they are, with a link and all.
They've probably posted it on all projects. If you still don't trust who they are or what they do, then just ignore them.
They've posted the same thing in the Projects sub-forum here.

You mean you set up a profile on this website, your profile and then View/edit profile?
Because if you do, that profile will only be set up on this website, it won't propagate to other project websites.
You have to set up your profile separately at all the projects that you want to have it at. We did have an automated website for that, but it was flooded with spammers, so it's been taken down.

But I want to know what is happening with the other projects.
BOINC Manager -> View ->Advanced view -> Tasks tab. You can check which Projects have work here, and which are being worked on.

Go to options>computing preferences>disk
Yeah, but he's using the preferences from the project, so best advise him to change things there. This so that the user always knows where to go back to. And else explain that you are pointing them to the local preferences and that these overrule all the same preferences set via the project website.

Couple of things.
Your system only has Asteroids@Home added, none of the rest.
11/10/2023 8:17:50 AM | Asteroids@home | URL https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/; Computer ID 755748; resource share 100

Why set these?
11/10/2023 8:17:50 AM | | - max download rate: 51200 bytes/sec
11/10/2023 8:17:50 AM | | - max upload rate: 51200 bytes/sec
11/10/2023 8:17:50 AM | | - max disk usage: 0.00 GB
Not just have you set your maximum disk usage to zero - zero here being zero, not zero here being unlimited - but why also download and upload rates of just 51.2 Kbytes/sec? Are you on dialup?

Anyhoo, BOINC does exactly what you ask it to: you don't want to store work, as you've set your disk usage preferences to zero.
So it asks for work, but won't get any, because it can't store it.
11/10/2023 8:58:45 AM | Asteroids@home | Message from server: Period Search Application needs 95.37MB more disk space. You currently have 0.00 MB available and it needs 95.37 MB.


My advice?
Set your BOINC preferences to default settings at the Asteroids project. Because now you've got bad preferences. Best start again.
It's okay to test things, but keep in mind what you add/change and if that doesn't work, change it again. I certainly would put a value - say 100 GB - into the max disk usage value, and preferably set the upload and download rates to something a little higher than what you have, especially if the tasks are big.

Suella Braverman was right to accuse police chiefs of 'double standards' in how they tackle different protests. And I should know – because for the past decade I have served as an officer on the Met's frontline.

In Windows, the easiest way to start BOINC Manager is via the Start menu. Start->search for BOINC in the list of programs->BOINC Manager.
Once that has started, maybe turn on Advanced view. In BOINC Manager go to View menu -> Advanced view.
CTRL+SHIFT+E opens the event log. Can you please copy & post the first 30 or so messages from here?

I received a notice that BOINC is not running.

All I can tell you is the message I see on my monitor is "No tasks running".

You're giving contradicting information.
A notice in BOINC Manager that BOINC isn't running indicates that the BOINC Manager is running, but the BOINC client isn't.
A notice in Windows that BOINC isn't running, indicates that neither the client nor the manager are running.
A message (where? In BOINC Manager?) that no tasks are running, indicates that you're out of work. Maybe the 4 projects you added don't have work, or don't have work for the hardware you chose.

You say you ran BOINC for years, so you should know the difference between the BOINC client and the Manager, and you should know how to tell us in detail what you see, where you see this and more, so we can help you correctly.

Post:
Can i expect the client autostart delay option to appear directly in the manager settings?
I don't think it ever will. Primarily because BOINC can't write directly to Windows startup options, the task scheduler or the registry. That wouldn't be very secure, if it could. And I don't feel it's so much a BOINC problem either, but more that of a slow drivers loading problem on your system.

You can uninstall BOINC, then reinstall it without the autostart option checked, then add BOINC to the Windows Task Scheduler and have it start 2 minutes after system boot up, to allow for all drivers to load correctly.

No, me neither. What you can try though is ask the developers at https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues if they can be of help, with giving you data on what files BOINC (and science applications) writes, writes to and such, that you can send back to the Tech Support at LOL to get your account there back.

I've never heard of it. And if it would've happened before, I would think someone would have complained, here, or in Reddit, or directly at the developers in Github. I've just done a quick search in Reddit and Github and found nothing. I don't have to search here, as it's never been asked before.

What files does the game think BOINC can edit?
