Glory: got new rocks to crunch Grumble: https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=1101&postid=8849 Apologies for the recent outages. Another DDoS attack hit the server, and it took the admin some time to secure it against those malicious actors. Another DDoS attack . . . Who would keep attacking a good volunteer-project like that?! |

https://www.space.com/voyager-1-signal-from-allen-telescope-array Thanks for that link, great way to show off the refurbishment + interesting Link budget calculation. I know the power will go out eventually. The other question would be how long we could track them. So eventually we could debate deviations like they did with the pioneer . . . I try to check their status every 6 months or so. Yeah, I follow it on twitter but don't log in very often. So for me it comes down to about every 2-3 months or so. |

Grumble: Summertime - Yikes! It's hot sweaty and nasty, people get exuberant, stressed and aggressive and lots of unnecessaryness, not a good time for a winterborn . . . Glory: . . . yet it's also the 45th anniversary for the voyagers, still getting signal, watched "THE FARTHEST" again as every year and still always find something that I missed before. That stuff makes may day. It's like therapy for me. A holiday from the pettys. And no matter what the fancy pride-mates do to each other here, the voyagers getting away to safer distance every second. Let's see how much longer we get signal . . . |

Project Asteroids@home Wow! I missed that one. The certificate unexpired after all. It was already on the BOINC STATS “Retired Projects” list. From experience I assume the 2 weeks will be somewhat longer. GREAT NEWS anyway _____ edit: oh no: on https://asteroidsathome.net MOZILLA complains: "asteroidsathome.net uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed. Error code: MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT " |

Anyone know what happened to Universe at Home: https://universeathome.pl/universe/home.php When the site was up (briefly and somewhat wobbly) I found this; Krzysztof 'krzyszp' Piszcek [the administrator] posted in the "No tasks" - thread at 1 Jan 2022,16:46:36 UTC "The recent server problem comes as with current load we have massive traffic between main and storage server and between main and database server. Their servers where going down(and quietly restarted mostly on weekends) with increasing frequency. IMHO they take their time now to look what's really going on there. |

Thank You for the detailed Input.If Jord doesn't kill me, I've put my .sig on this. In this case your sig supports the answer to my question, so he should kill me then. CPDN will set the delete flag automagically after a long enough period of inactivity. interesting third option (and I like the "automagically") So, due to projects that no longer exist and users that abandoned their accounts, all stats-sites are hosting zombie-data. Since I only signed up for still existing projects so far, I now have 2 options to look at; one current and one more archival, however I feel. Great. (still have my cake then. Do I deserve that? What's that gonna do to my character when or if I should ever grow up?) BTW; some projects display a “connected projects” table, in my case MilkyWay@Home also read the output and is therefore current. My thanks again for all the answers. In my view this thread can be closed.(how does one do that?) |

You do realize the stats sites don't have to delete, the request wasn't made to them. As I see it; the request was made through the project and 2 could manage to read it from the project output. It's obviously not a mars mission. One more clarification; This thread is not a help request it's just a test and maybe a discussion on results.(that's why the Lounge not Q&P) I'm sorry if I startled helpers unnecessarily. I don't think many are interested in account deletion.(that's why the Lounge) The only goal here: see what happens . . . Now obviously the (Drupal?)output from the project led initially to 3 different results, now down to 2. I didn't and will not make requests to stats-sites directly. I don't have accounts there. They can present themself however they want, for everyone to see, fine with me. My personal preference is most up to date like BOINC STATS right away and BCS later on. If Free-DC just couldn't decode the output from the project or not yet, or deliberately likes to host zombie-data, their choice to make, not mine. So; at this timestamp there are still 2 alternates. (I ate the cake and still have it) ______________________________________________________________________________________ Now if anyone has the time for it, I have 2 Questions to those that participate in many more projects than me; How many projects even offer a "share data or not"-option? How many projects offer a delete option? Thanks in advance. |

OK then, this is going of topic, time for a little thread maintenance; this image obviously caused some CONfusion as to be the main topic:  I shared this snap because the date on there was just funny - that's why the pointer and that's it. Side issue. [kinda perplexed why this got so much attention and all else is ignored] The main point I was trying to make is that there should have been nothing at all. (No matter what Username, CPUID or PUID or even the date, however funny) They fixed it now, it's gone on that site. So we can forget about it and come back to the main topic; project account deletion and how it works through the stats-sites You're confusing stats sites with project sites. No I'm not. Otherwise I couldn't even have come up with the idea of this test. The distinction of project versus stats-sites and between stats-sites is exactly the point of this test, pertaining to account deletion. Again: The topic here is not "Username CPUID PUID" and whatever happens when an account is created. The topic is deletion. Username, CPUID, PUID etc. should not matter here since that all should be gone after deletion of that account.[of course CPUID still there for the other accounts] here is my update how it worked so far: 1. the project: delete request -> verification email -> deletion promptly executed -> done! 2. BOINC-STATS: deletion signal decoded -> deletion promptly executed -> done! 3. BCS(netsoft): (with some entertaining delay) deletion signal decoded -> deletion promptly executed -> done! 4. Free-DC: . . . yeah; couldn't manage to decode the deletion signal so far . . . So now I'm down from 3 alternate Universes to 2 . . . I keep you posted . . . |

Almost fell of my chair after readingThis website is now running temporary on a Raspberry Pi and will switch to a new server when ready. I had the same reaction first. And I'm happy about the good news . . . |

. . . The unique identifier used is the email address. So is the CPUID and Project-UIDs. I thought the stats-aggregators use those. Whatever Username or email address, is kinda of topic. But correct me if I'm wrong. And if the problem would be Einstein@Home why did BOINC-STATS got it right then right away? After the delete there should be no data at all(correct before or not). _________ So BCS corrected it and I think Free-DC is working on it and that was the purpose of this test. Iron out the bugs if we find them(and not particularly me, my Username or email address). |
