If you use the BOINC Manager 'attach' wizard, it goes through a extra stage: it calls get_project_config.php to fetch the master_url and attaches to that.

If you use boinccmd to attach to the project, you are responsible for verifying that you have the up-to-date address, by following links link the one you've kindly posted.

If you are attached to a project by an Account Manager, you are in the hands of the administrator of that AM, who may or may not be keeping alert to changes and applying them in a timely fashion.

There's an open request to get this mess sorted out (#2642), but no progress.

Universe is just back online today. Was still offline yesterday, due to an SSD issue, the project manager sent an update about it a few days ago.

As far as Einstein, I have no success running it.
Occasionally I get Einstein WUs, but I think just like with Yoyo, or Moo!, they just end up with computation errors.

Ah, I see,
Einstein was set up to do GPU projects only.
What Einstein project runs on ARM?
Following projects are disabled on Einstein, because I don't need to run them on my Intel x86 CPU:

Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo)
Gamma-ray pulsar binary search #1
Gamma-ray pulsar search #5
Gravitational Wave search O2 Multi-Directional
Gravitational Wave search O3 All-Sky

WuProp is gone forever unless Sebastien takes up one or more of the offers that was provided to him.

WuProp was science. It was a repository / database of BOINC projects, their applications and how popular they were by measuring the hours people who ran the NCI (Non Compute Intensive) project in tandem with their other projects.

Sounds like a trainspotting service to me. A slight piece of usefulness for someone to decide which project to run. No great loss.

Here is on forum discussion of this terrible news. There is some intentions and will to keep the flame (on table: volunteering, picking up, forking, remaking, and blame campaign (in order of effort required)). But no signs of resolution yet.

Perhaps if the USA, the EU, and the UK would stop interfering in wars that are none of their business, using our tax dollars, the world would be a quieter place.

Who gets to [decide] if it is or is not their business?

We should take a leaf out of the Swiss book. Military is to defend yourself. Why should we pick sides on other people's wars? If you see a fight in the street, you don't pick a side and join in!

That's my little sister getting beaten up...

PS: quotes start with the {quote} tage and end with the closing {/quote} tag. (exchange square brackets [ ] for squiggly brackets { } )

Pity somebody couldn't make this forum user friendly instead of us having to type code like back in the days of DOS.

MilkyWay works well on Windows, both CPU and GPU (with the right card, usually AMD).

I think it works on Nvidia (they can run OpenCL), but slower. I don't have any Nvidias to try, because they're rubbish.

I didn't mean to imply that Putin himself would bother with my computer. But there's an army of Russian miscreants out there who are wreaking cyber havoc on governmental, commercial and private networks.

Perhaps if the USA, the EU, and the UK would stop interfering in wars that are none of their business, using our tax dollars, the world would be a quieter place.

Is there a plan to correct the text on the download button on the website for this? The error undermines confidence in the platform and leads to unnecessary confusion.

Glory:

After the saga of going round three post offices before being able to apply to renew my driving license, new one arrived after one week.

Hi

Is there a way of lowering the impact of having active BOINC startup apps?

BOINC manager for windows: High impact
BOINC system tray for windows: medium impact

Having them on makes the startup 5-10 minutes longer.

Using Windows 10 version 21H2 with Dell something with intel core i7 vpro 8th gen

So right now I am not running any projects because of the daily hassle at startup.

Why do they even have to be running at startup?
Can't they load at first time screensaver runs?

Yours,
Johan

I don't see any error messages on any pages when I go there.

PROJECT DATABASE/Stats last updated 2021-12-28 14:10

According to a project scientist, project owner "Progger" has been not seen or heard from for MANY MONTHS now and apparently no one else has access/password to the servers.

Grumble: Because my passport has expired, I can't use the on-line service to renew my driving licence but have to go to Post Office and use form D1. Be interesting to see if I get new one by February when old one expires. The really annoying bit is the amount of things I had to fill in before telling me this.

The saga continues:

My nearest post office couldn't do it and told me two others that allegedly could. I went to the closest of these who told me the reminder letter I had was no use and I needed the original notification with a bar code on it. (I hadn't received any such original notification.) On trying the main post office in Cambridge, all sorted and the one I had been told could do it wouldn't have been able to anyway. The person who delt with me very efficiently thinks the person in the second one was probably thinking about vehicle license renewal and not driving license. Anyway it seems that in two out of three post offices, there are staff who don't know their funny bone from their fundament, at least going by my limited sample.

Good news, woo hoo!

Unfit to be a parent...


Mom put teenage son with COVID in trunk for drive-thru testing, Texas officials say
While in line, the mom told the school district’s health service director that she drove to the stadium with her son in the trunk as she didn’t want to be exposed to the coronavirus while taking him to get additional testing...

A review of school security surveillance cameras captured the moment the teen moved from the trunk to the back seat ...

Police have since issued a warrant for the woman’s arrest... the woman faces a felony charge of endangering a child.

Jord, sorry you had Moderna, worse side effects.

I'm not sorry, the side effects of the first AstraZeneca were worse: I couldn't use my left arm for 3 days, it was just hanging there. So in context, these are normal.

Still, get well soon.
