Posted 13 May 2025 by Dr Who Fan 		NFS - Number Fields System website & BOINC services have been mostly down/unreachable for slightly over 24 hours...
Probably due to the spamming mentioned in a News posting yesterday.

Posted 11 May 2025 by Dr Who Fan 		Here in the Fort Worth, Texas area we are possibly expecting 104°F/40°C for Wednesday and the "normal" average high is 83F/28.33C.

I wonder what our summer high temperatures will be like if this keeps up.

I've tried way to many times to get in contact with someone from the project in last year or two on X/Twitter and via the project websites with no success.

Posted 13 Apr 2025 by Dr Who Fan 		Project "DataFreezer" aka frostydata(.)com which NEVER PRODUCED ANY WORK is now a DEAD PROJECT.

DOMAIN NAME HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY A "PARKED DOMAIN".

If you still have it in your BOINC Manager program, I would suggest you detach/remove it from your project list.

Posted 6 Apr 2025 by Dr Who Fan 		Did you use a DIFFERENT USERNAME& email address when you reattached to ALL THE SAME projects or did you use the same USERNAME?

You should be using the SAME USERNAME, email address & password when you reattach / rejoin the projects.

Message 115820
Posted 5 Apr 2025 by Dr Who Fan
Hello.

I get the message "Could not connect to screensaver of application Gamma-ray pulsar search #5." The screenaver does pop up for an instant when a key is touched. BOINC is running on a 2024 Macbook Pro (M4 Max.) I did see that the Einstein screensaver is supposed to run on Apple ARM processors, but it seems that still requires OpenGL. Apple apparently no longer supports OpenGL on its processors in favor of Metal. If this is the problem, is there any way that the screensaver application could be modified to provide OpenGL 4.6 compatability on Metal?

Thanks.

Short answer: Probably not, but this is not the place to ask.

From now on, you should take your project specific questions to the project forums of what project you have a question/problem about their application(s). The specific project administrator or a volunteer can answer your question(s) faster and easier.

For Einstein the forums are at >>>
