Einstein@Home will be shut down on Monday, Aug 14 at about 4 AM UTC due to necessary maintenance work on the power system of the data center. We expect to be back online roughly 36h later on Tuesday, Aug 15, at the end of the working day (2 PM UTC). We'll post updates here. BM |

We expect to be back online roughly 36h later on Tuesday, Aug 15, at the end of the working day (2 PM UTC).Einstein's own news forum says that the project expects to restart on "Tuesday, around 5 PM UTC." That sounds more sensible for the end of the working day in Europe. |

We are shutting down Einstein@Home. |

Well, different people work at different times, also in Europe. The technicians usually start early and finish early, we hope to power up E@H at 4 PM CEST. |

We are shutting down Einstein@Home.Yes, pretty much right at 5.00am UTC. I had my hosts store ~3 days of work and now they all have network activity suspended for 2 days until approximately 6.00am UTC on Wednesday. Hopefully the project will be back up by then and at least some of the initial flood of connection attempts will have subsided before any of mine add to the chaos :-). If things go faster than planned, I can easily turn on network activity early and if there are delays I can easily extend the suspension. Hopefully I have enough work on hand to avoid adding to the congestion when service resumes. I'm sure glad that years ago I developed scripts to give me lots of control over the full fleet of hosts. I'd hate to be doing this on a host by host basis :-). Cheers, Gary. |

According to current prediction we should be able to start up Einstein@Home again at roughly 3 PM CEST (1 PM UTC). We'll see. |

Thanks very much for the update. I'm pleased for you guys that things seem to be going to plan :-). I'll be in bed by then so hopefully when I next check around 7:30 - 8:00 pm UTC that evening (5:30 - 6:00 am UTC+10 Wednesday my time), I'll be able to set networking back to 'always' and upload all the accumulated results. My script allows me to stagger the uploads (and I have plenty of spare time) so I intend to put a gap of say at least 90 secs between hosts. It will take 3-4 hours (or more) for all the hosts to finish the job. I won't need to download anything until well after the uploads have all finished, so I have no need to push things. After that, I can gradually return to the usual work cache size in small steps over the next couple of days if necessary. The script can do all that for me so it's very easy to get back on track. Cheers, Gary. |

Einstein@Home is coming up again. Web server may take a bit, uploads and downloads should work already. |

The few tasks that got caught (11) have all uploaded without interruption, and reported as complete. I re-enabled work fetch, and immediately got a small allocation, as requested. So it seems to be going smoothly so far, but I'll keep an eye on it. |

Asteroids@home had been unreachable for over at least 8 hours now. YEs, web site, message board inaccessible. I also have a bunch of Asteroids tasks ready to send that are hung up or in transfers. They are repeating their old tactics. Going incommunicado for days without notice, web site unreachable, no guidance from administrators. Or maybe they just had a crash? A lightning strike on the university building? Steven Gaber Oldsmar, FL |

ODLK1 (aka latinsquares) server is back on line after hardware failure but most everything else is not restarted. See message https://boinc.multi-pool.info/latinsquares/forum_thread.php?id=190&postid=3692 for more details. |

Received a BOINC notification late yesterday that the system will be offline for approximately 24 hours to perform server upgrade and security updates. I'm not a a desktop right now to copy/paste the detailed message here. EDIT... to post the message from MilkyWay Milkyway@Home: Migrating MilkyWay@home to a New Server |

Hello, I just saw a notice in my BOINC application about this, so I tried to follow its instructions, removing the Milky Way project and then adding it back again. However, while trying to add it back, the application showed the "old" URL and, when I pasted the new URL over it, the attempt to add it failed, so I don't know what's happening, why the application still showed the previous URL instead of the new one, and why I can't follow BOINC's specific instructions. Can someone please advise me/us about this? Thanks, Bram Weiser |

... Can someone please advise me/us about this? At this time and date there is not much us users can do except WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW (MON 2023-11-06) for the project/university IT managers to FIX ON THEIR END and follow up on the projects message board for further guidance. Look in the News or Number Crunching forums. |

Thanks for responding, Dr Who Fan, but I think your post got cut off --> "...follow up on the projects message board for" I'd still be curious to know why they pushed out this notification without making sure that the system would indeed let us use the new URL that they provided. |
