No discussion needed, and the Russian projects should remain listed.


I agree.
But, 'cause i consider the russian invasion as a crime, i do not partecipate to these projects.

This could be a BIG change

Future
● Run apps in Docker natively (no VBox)
○ Detect Docker in client, use a wrapper
○ Move boinc2docker into BOINC
○ Windows: conflict with VBox :-(

Release notes are <a href=https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/wiki/Client-release-notes>here</a>.


I think that sporadic apps could be a little breakthrough for Boinc projects....

(but it's necessary to involve researchers)

- I have no MS Hyper-V installed


Maybe, after some hours of work, i find the solution (and, maybe, this help others with the same problem).

I installed MS Hyper-V over 1 year ago (for some tests) and, at the end, i removed it from control panel/programs and features/turn windows feature on or off.
Today, using command
systeminfo
from PS, i see the message "A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed"
That's stange!
So i used the command
Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-Hypervisor

Nothing to do, still the same error.
I disabled Secure Boot from bios, restart the pc and re-used the command above and also another command
DISM /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V

I restarted again the pc and the message in boinc manager has gone.

Waiting for work to see if it's solved (maybe i'll try with lhc@home)

I think it is a bios setting.

No. Bios settings is ok, virtualization enabled

On Ralph@Home project i'm trying to download some VirtualBox wus, but i receive this error:
VirtualBox jobs require hardware acceleration support. Your processor does not support the required instruction set.

I wrote in their forum, but i know that they do not read, so i write here.

- I have a Ryzen5 5500U, that supports virtualization.
- I see "virtualization enabled" in cpu properties (Task Manager\Performance tab).
- I run correctly some VMs in my VirtualBox (for some testing purpose).
- I have no MS Hyper-V installed

It's a boinc server problem?

Gerasim@home | Device CPU disabled by user. No work sent for CPU

I download these files, but no wus on my pc.


Solved, after some tests
I have to enable cpu even if i do not run cpu wus, 'cause the new app uses 1 cpu core.

Is boinc ending?


No. David Anderson is no longer very active in developing the project.
But there are other guys on the road.

Any and all subjects re volunteer computing are interesting to me. My personal efforts and projects focus on access to justice.


Seems that admins are not interested....
