| 1) Message boards : News : Should BOINC boycott Russian projects?
Message 114617 Posted 1 Oct 2024 by JeromeC |
There is definitively nothing to argue here, the article written by David is more than clear (and it's nice he made the effort to explain things so clearly), there is no room for debate (here at least) that will inevitably crash to the ground in flames. if you want to boycott, just do it. |

This is not the topic for such discussion, you must go into each project forum, or if you can't (e.g. credit limitation) in the upper Projects section of this forum , but not in this topic. Each project has its own constraints, temporary or permanent issues, etc. |

Excellent news ! Our votes count !! :) Is it only an honorary prize or there are coins of the realm that can benefit to boinc resources ? |

I have not seen this news coming from LHC forum here. BOINC is a finalist for an notable award, and needs your vote (*by Sunday): |

| 10) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC Conflict w/ macOS Photos or iCloud Background Tasks
Message 113330 Posted 28 Dec 2023 by JeromeC |
Hi I've been crunching 24H on macs since 2007 and I can't remember having "conflict" issues with macOS general operation. My current machine is (latest) Intel 27i late 2020 iMac. Due to always decreasing macOS apps supports by boinc projects, I've been doing 50% of my crunch into a linux VM for years. Not sure if I could do the same with a Mx mac. J. |

https://milkyway-new.cs.rpi.edu/ add 128.113.126.54 milkyway-new.cs.rpi.edu in the host file or the computer (https://www.siteground.com/kb/hosts-file/) Once this is done (or browsing directly on 128.113.126.54) you will find a discussion about this in the news section of the forum. Some people claim that boinc could send back work to the project with this change done. |

Message 112991 Posted 25 Oct 2023 by JeromeC |
Oh ok I get it : a meta-project "to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them" :) I actually realize the existence of https://boinc.berkeley.edu/central/ ! With plenty of recents apps for all OS ! But nothing to crunch for indeed... So nothing to do with "sporadic apps". Thanks ! |

Message 112971 Posted 22 Oct 2023 by JeromeC |
So there is a direct link to boinc sporadic apps ? (+ here also) But is is strange though : does it mean we would not attach to a dedicated project but to this "boinc central" stuff ? and therefore not be able to choose what we want to do ?? |

Message 112942 Posted 16 Oct 2023 by JeromeC |
There is now a "BOINC Central" project in the project list that can be added from the Boinc manager, what can it be ? |
| 15) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Boinc for Mx Macs
Message 112637 Posted 4 Sep 2023 by JeromeC |
Thanks for these answers. For PG I reviewed the page and all Genefer app (from 15 to 22) + DYFL do have the "Mac OS running on an ARM 64-bit CPU" version, all the other are "on an Intel 64-bit CPU". But that's great :) For Einstein I find Gamma-ray pulsar search #5 (FGRP5) with "Mac OS X running on ARM" version (which is CPU app). Gamma-ray pulsar binary search #1 on GPUs (FGRPB1G) mentions a "1.29 (Apple_M-opencl)" version but super strangely related platform is "Mac OS 10.5 or later running on Intel 64 Bit", which doesn't make much sense. So "very few boinc projects/apps" is the first answer anyway. What about rosetta compatibility with traditional boinc projects (for Intel/AMD world) ? any feedback, all is running well and "fast enough" ? Edit : + I was just informed that all 3 Denis applications do have a "Mac OS running on ARM" version ! |

Hi there was a topic for this but it seems we can't write anymore in it ("older" topics are blocked ?) What is the situation about Boinc and Mac Mx series now in September 2023 ? Fully compatible ? any project made any native Mx version of their apps ? Any feedback on running boinc projets with rosetta ? all projects run fine ? Thanks |

To complete the information, with macOS version 7.22.1 published 9th May, even some remaining display glitches (with strange "variable bold rows") were solved. Data usage tab is still blank (empty circles). Not a big deal. |

For information the issue is now solved at 95% with latest "Apple Mac (64-bit Intel and Apple Silicon)" 7.20.7 version published yesterday on the official website, thanks !! 5% is for the data usage tab that is still mute and not showing any data, but that one I never use :) |

Thanks guys, there is obviously no urgency on this issue : boinc client is running fine and I do have BoincTasks Js to control the job on my mac - but I tend to prefer BM depending on what I am checking, and BTJs has a strange tendency to disconnect / reconnect to the client regularly... (but the easy multi-machine control + task history is a must from BT). I added a comment in the GitHub issue : the data usage tab and statistical tab have no data to display neither. |
