2) Message boards : Projects : Radioactive@Home is not working (Message 113996) Posted 11 days ago by ChertseyAl Post: Radioactive site has been very slow for a while, and I'm unable to post a message there as it just sits spinning it's wheels after I submit. Here's what I've been trying to post in case someone reads it here: Server very slow, also reporting no taks available This has been going on for a while now ... 07/05/2024 15:20:43 \| Radioactive@Home \| Sending scheduler request: To send trickle-up message. 07/05/2024 15:20:43 \| Radioactive@Home \| Not requesting tasks: non CPU intensive 07/05/2024 15:20:45 \| Radioactive@Home \| Scheduler request completed 07/05/2024 15:24:40 \| Radioactive@Home \| Computation for task sample_16234601_0 finished 07/05/2024 15:24:40 \| Radioactive@Home \| Sending scheduler request: To send trickle-up message. 07/05/2024 15:24:40 \| Radioactive@Home \| Not requesting tasks: non CPU intensive 07/05/2024 15:24:42 \| Radioactive@Home \| Started upload of sample_16234601_0_0 07/05/2024 15:24:45 \| Radioactive@Home \| Finished upload of sample_16234601_0_0 07/05/2024 15:25:24 \| Radioactive@Home \| Scheduler request completed 07/05/2024 15:25:34 \| Radioactive@Home \| Sending scheduler request: To report completed tasks. 07/05/2024 15:25:34 \| Radioactive@Home \| Reporting 1 completed tasks 07/05/2024 15:25:34 \| Radioactive@Home \| Requesting new tasks for CPU 07/05/2024 15:25:45 \| Radioactive@Home \| Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 07/05/2024 15:25:45 \| Radioactive@Home \| Project has no tasks available 07/05/2024 15:25:55 \| Radioactive@Home \| Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 07/05/2024 15:25:55 \| Radioactive@Home \| Requesting new tasks for CPU 07/05/2024 15:26:01 \| Radioactive@Home \| update requested by user 07/05/2024 15:26:23 \| Radioactive@Home \| Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 07/05/2024 15:26:23 \| Radioactive@Home \| Project has no tasks available 07/05/2024 15:26:33 \| Radioactive@Home \| Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 07/05/2024 15:26:33 \| Radioactive@Home \| Requesting new tasks for CPU 07/05/2024 15:31:40 \| Radioactive@Home \| Scheduler request failed: Timeout was reached 07/05/2024 15:32:30 \| \| Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site 07/05/2024 15:32:32 \| \| Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down. 07/05/2024 15:33:27 \| Radioactive@Home \| Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 07/05/2024 15:33:27 \| Radioactive@Home \| Requesting new tasks for CPU 07/05/2024 15:33:29 \| Radioactive@Home \| Scheduler request completed: got 1 new tasks 07/05/2024 15:33:32 \| Radioactive@Home \| Starting task sample_16234716_0 Server status page is very slow to load, but eventually shows: Tasks ready to send 10,001 Also, sometimes a task which has been reported sticks on 'In progress' like the one just reported: 16253939 16234716 11785 7 May 2024 \| 14:33:32 UTC 21 May 2024 \| 14:33:32 UTC In progress --- --- --- Radioactivity Monitor v1.78 16253902 16234679 11785 7 May 2024 \| 14:26:38 UTC 21 May 2024 \| 14:26:38 UTC In progress --- --- --- Radioactivity Monitor v1.78 16253824 16234601 11785 7 May 2024 \| 13:56:37 UTC 7 May 2024 \| 14:25:43 UTC Completed and validated 1,681.24 0.02 2.98 Radioactivity Monitor v1.78 Will also post this in the Universe thread

4) Message boards : Projects : Radioactive@Home is not working (Message 113257) Posted 11 Dec 2023 by ChertseyAl Post: The project isn't finished, it just goes down every day for a while :) I think it's moved to a new hosting service, and it's still having teething troubles. Anyway, it's up now.
5) Message boards : Projects : Radioactive@Home is not working (Message 113197) Posted 29 Nov 2023 by ChertseyAl Post: AAANND ... IT'S BACK! Move along, nothing to see here. For now :)

7) Message boards : The Lounge : z (Message 65040) Posted 22 Oct 2015 by ChertseyAl Post: Enigmatic. Cicada 3301 perhaps? ;)
8) Message boards : BOINC client : how to avoid data corruption on windows shutdown if you forgot to suspend projects (Message 63904) Posted 29 Aug 2015 by ChertseyAl Post: Cool story bro. But I have to say I've never had data corruption when shutting down, BOINCing for 10 years a dozen machines at a time. But then I only use XP and Ubuntu, so maybe they are safer. Though I doubt it.
9) Message boards : Projects : News on Project Outages (Message 63871) Posted 27 Aug 2015 by ChertseyAl Post: Apparently the radioactive@home virtual server keeps crashing for unknown reasons and it's hoped to be back in a couple of days according to Krzysztof.
10) Message boards : The Lounge : Grumbles, Glory and Covid-19 (Message 63480) Posted 11 Aug 2015 by ChertseyAl Post: I hate people that bump unanswered posts by replying to themselves with: Nobody? Here's a couple of clues - Either nobody knows the answer, or nobody can decipher your gibberish, or perhaps everyone just hates you. Especially if you bump the thread after less than 24 hours. Just sayin'
11) Message boards : Questions and problems : more work units (Message 62052) Posted 5 May 2015 by ChertseyAl Post: You can use the <ncpus>N</ncpus> option in your cc_config.xml file to simulate more CPUs than you actually have: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/client_configuration But you won't gain anything in terms of work throughput, you'll just be sharing cores between multiple work units :)
12) Message boards : Projects : PUCBi Desktop Grid (Message 61499) Posted 9 Apr 2015 by ChertseyAl Post: Looks like an old backup from 18th January or thereabouts has been loaded and wiped everything out. Apart from the inevitable spammers of course :)
13) Message boards : Projects : new project: DENIS@home (Message 61498) Posted 9 Apr 2015 by ChertseyAl Post: When trying to set up an account, it says to do so by "attaching to project" via boinc manager - but the project isn't in the list. Advice would be appreciated. Thank you. Good luck with the project too. edit: don't worry. This isn't the right place to ask as it's for news. Sorry for troubling you. I'll answer anyway ;) Just go through the add project option, and rather than select one from the list just paste the project link into the URL text box and continue as if you'd selected it from the list. The URL to paste is this: http://denis.usj.es/denisathome/ (Not clickable to make it easy to copy'n'paste!).
14) Message boards : Projects : Primaboinca status (Message 61356) Posted 2 Apr 2015 by ChertseyAl Post: And it's back up - I dare say the backlog of uploads/updates/downloads will slow it down for a while though ;)
15) Message boards : Projects : Primaboinca status (Message 61350) Posted 2 Apr 2015 by ChertseyAl Post: I emailed Fabio - There had been a DDOS attack - He expects the project to be up today (2nd Apr).
16) Message boards : Questions and problems : Always end up on Google Home Page (Message 60888) Posted 12 Mar 2015 by ChertseyAl Post: FWIW I've found FF 36.0.1 very buggy - It randomly loses some settings, and when I click on one of the buttons in BOINC I do go to the right page (sort of) but it doesn't render properly and I get half of the BOINC Manager window apparently as part of the web page. V36 also seems to have the old plugin container bug back again, as well as the really old memory leak that was fixed ages ago. They messed this version up :(
17) Message boards : Projects : PUCBi Desktop Grid (Message 59968) Posted 26 Jan 2015 by ChertseyAl Post: The server status is in the usual place ... http://boinc.biruni.upm.my/pucbi/server_status.php There was work on the 22nd Jan that apparently worked, then everything after that until the 24th seems to be computation errors. Nothing since then.
18) Message boards : Projects : Primaboinca status (Message 59834) Posted 19 Jan 2015 by ChertseyAl Post: The only way to get any answers is to email Fabio (the admin) or possibly tweet him. I usually just email him if there's a problem and he fixes it pretty quickly. It's not ideal, but it's a reliable project so no big deal. I don't think the project is ending yet as no counterexplamples to AKS have been found yet. Presumably as soon as just one is found the project could end immediately.
19) Message boards : Questions and problems : A small big detail (Message 59448) Posted 9 Jan 2015 by ChertseyAl Post: As BOINC doesn't actually do any work it wouldn't be down to them. The projects could give some small award/reward for achievement (and some do, Einstein for instance), other than that it's down to badges and rank in the individual project leaderboards. Combining WUs/points/badges across projects is pointless as they all do different types of work for different amounts of credit.
20) Message boards : BOINC Manager : RFE: Enable messages tab option (Message 58391) Posted 2 Dec 2014 by ChertseyAl Post: Why not make it configurable? Have an option to enable the messages tab, defaulted to not displaying it. Oh, and make it configurable to turn off the notices tab, and especially make it not hijack BOINC manager and switch away from the last selected tab :)
