Posted 25 Mar 2022 by Pierre A Renaud Post: Seems Sébastien will keep WUProp going, which is great news (see https://boinc.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=14593&postid=107512#107512). Don't know if already mentioned but I can't find it - WUProp@Home seems to be shut down permanently. |

Posted 10 Oct 2019 by Pierre A Renaud Post: Posted more than 30mins ago : "Servers Remain Up During Power Outage - Large swaths of Northern California, including the UC Berkeley Campus, are under a Public Safety Power Shutoff due to high winds and the associated wildfire risks. Our servers are located in the campus Data Center which is protected by a high capacity UPS. We expect that our servers will remain up for the duration of the outage. Thus far Internet connectivity also remains up although this depends on factors outside of the Data Center." (10 Oct 2019, 16:57:08 UTC) https://setiathome.berkeley.edu https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=84743#2014894 I do hope every single person affected demands a refund and compensation for stuff that defrosts in freezers etc. It sounds like they have skimped on their infrastructure for years.Hydro-Quebec, our local electric utility, makes clear that it's the customers' responsibility to have a backup energy source in case of emergency. I don't see why it wld be different for PG&E :/ I hope ac is back as soon as the santa anna winds subside. A few years ago power was cut off here during 2 weeks outside major urban centers due to freezing rains that damaged countless electrical pylons. Remediation measures have been taken by H-Qc to avoid this the next time it happens, but it sure was hell for those without backup energy sources (thankfully, family and community ressources were in place to help them go through). |

All members of Team Carl Sagan are encouraged to join the geeky (but funny and good natured) 8th SETI@home Wow! 2019 teams tournament https://www.seti-germany.de/Wow/, where all the able and willing SETI@home teams compete for the Wow! and glory factors. If you receive this message, it is because Team Carl Sagan needs you and all the SETI@home computing power you can muster, especially for the Aug.15th - 29 time period. Basic info about the event: [u rl]https://www.seti-germany.de/Wow/[/url] Register at https://www.seti-germany.de/Wow/register/en Registered participants []https://www.seti-germany.de/Wow/stats/users/2019[/] Registered teams []https://www.seti-germany.de/Wow/stats/teams/2019[/] Registrations by countries []https://www.seti-germany.de/Wow/stats/countries/2019[/] Registered Carl Sagan participants [ur l]https://www.seti-germany.de/Wow/stats/teams/2019/41499/Carl%20Sagan[/url] Join the [u rl=https://www.facebook.com/events/440620326793598/]Facebook Event page[/url] and share it ! Test run : July 8th - August 14th 2019 Contest period : August 15th 16:00 UTC - August 29th, 2019, 16:00 UTC - Participants can use the test period to fine tune their rigs for best cooling and performance - Participants are encouraged to temporarily have all their hosts crunch SETI@home data 24/7 for the contest's duration - Wether they are on crutches or riding a BFR, this friendly competition will feature 3 winning participants ranked by their total accumulated credits, and based on the same criteria will be featured three winning teams and (get ready for this one) astrological signs groups; There s something for everyone ! - Additional benefits are the bragging rights associated with our team's participation in this event, another is that all Carl Sagan teammates will receive (or haev received) a personalized invitation to register and participate from no one else than the team founder - to proudly print, display in their office and cherish forever ! :) - Follow the Wow! Event as it progresses until the final winning teams are pronounced on Aug. 30th. Even if your team didn't reach one of the three top pole positions, perhaps your group did ? What matters is that you were there in Time and Space, and that is reason enough to celebrate :) [u rl=https://www.seti-germany.de/Wow/register/en]Join the tournament now[/url] !
