3) Message boards : Questions and problems : "On multiprocessor systems, use at most % of processors" is inconsistant Message 115483 Posted 21 Feb 2025 by Vitalii Koshura	In reply to Lucas Dobre's message of 21 Feb 2025: In reply to Vitalii Koshura's message of 20 Feb 2025: In reply to Lucas Dobre's message of 20 Feb 2025: How is it even possible to program it this way?! We are highly skilled engineers, and we tried our best. Nice to see you in here Vitali, only spoken to you in Github. Is it meant to round up or down? Actually we just drop the fractional part. So if there will be 11.9999 CPUs to use, we will use 11, not 12.

5) Message boards : Projects : First Buda/Docker Project Message 115398 Posted 7 Feb 2025 by Vitalii Koshura	In reply to Dave's message of 7 Feb 2025: In reply to Vitalii Koshura's message of 7 Feb 2025: Yes, but it's a development version. It might not work as expected. I get that. Having been on their site I see there have been computers with 8.0.4 completing tasks. I think my problem was not having added boinc to the docker group but by the time I had done that, there were not tasks ready to send. Unfortunately this is something I don't know. I was not able to test Docker functionality yet (David was mostly working on it), since I'm busy with other topics (new Windows installer, that sounds like something easy and with lowest priory but unfortunately it took a huge amount of my time, for more details check my blog if interested). Closer to the alpha test I'll check that, or will delegate that to our alpha testers (should be quite engaging to a lot of volunteers since this is really a huge step forward for BOINC and the community).

Could the site authors fix this? I quote Вы подписаны на First Buda/Docker Project. Вы получите уведомление, как только там появится новое сообщение. I don't receive notifications of new messages. Do you receive any other email from the *.berkeley.edu domain? Sometimes we receive reports that emails are not delivered, but this might be because for some reason your email provider is in the blacklist of the Berkeley University, and this is not something that we can fix in any way since there are top level security policies that must not be violated. If you receive any other email except notifications from this forum - please send me or David Anderson an email from the email you experiencing issues describing the problem, and we will try to figure out what's going wrong.

8) Message boards : Projects : First Buda/Docker Project Message 115387 Posted 6 Feb 2025 by Vitalii Koshura	It's also in the alpha stage yet, and requires the BOINC client that is unreleased yet, so having HTTP so far is ok. But this is definitely something that should be fixed in the first place.

10) Message boards : Projects : New project ODLK2025 Message 115376 Posted 6 Feb 2025 by Vitalii Koshura	In reply to Nataly-Mak's message of 6 Feb 2025: Let me create my own list of active BOINC projects and call it official. You cannot call it 'official' but you can create whatever you want, including the list of projects you prefer. It's completely up to you. I can run my BOINC project, but I can't do what the leadership center is supposed to do. Why not? Just start doing something, and if it becomes useful - we can provide additional support from our side, and afterwards call it 'official' if that really matters. Let's be honest: you don't want to do that but prefer someone else doing that.
11) Message boards : Projects : New project ODLK2025 Message 115374 Posted 5 Feb 2025 by Vitalii Koshura	In reply to Nataly-Mak's message of 5 Feb 2025: I cannot create a support group, because I do not have any authority to do so. BOINC is a completely volunteer project, and it's supported by volunteers. And if someone wants to organize something - they don't need to ask for special permissions. For example, you don't need any permissions to start your own Project. The same works with your initiative as well: if you want to organize a group of people who want to support other Projects - just go ahead and do it. If you want to have a separate forum board for that - this could be done, I believe. But don't expect anyone to take the leadership. As you correctly wrote before, the majority of people here have main job, a family, and they might not be able to work on something additional. Here I would like to quote Hillel: "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And being for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?" By the way, I remember there was an attempt to create such a general server that would accept applications for small BOINC projects. This attempt was not successful. Too bad! This is called 'Life'. Not everything is successful. Some win, some fail. Everything happens. All we can is to try our best. And that is what I wish you as well.
12) Message boards : Projects : New project ODLK2025 Message 115370 Posted 5 Feb 2025 by Vitalii Koshura	In reply to Nataly-Mak's message of 5 Feb 2025: Hugo's software worked perfectly in manual mode. I used this software in manual mode. That fact that it worked in manual mode doesn't mean it's suitable to run by BOINC client. It is not necessary to look for volunteers among BOINC maintainers. I find enthusiasts! Progger (Russia, BOINC project ODLK), Stefano Tognon (Italy, BOINC project ODLK1), Tomas Brada (Slovakia, project stopped), Demis (Russia, BOINC project SPT), termit (Russia, BOINC project ODLK2025). Ok, you have stated the names, that means that you have found them. Then why writing here? Write those people. Take the leadership and help yourself and other projects. Why delegating this to us?
13) Message boards : Projects : New project ODLK2025 Message 115368 Posted 5 Feb 2025 by Vitalii Koshura	In reply to Nataly-Mak's message of 5 Feb 2025: You have answered a question that was addressed to David P. Anderson. Are you authorized to do so? Yes. I propose to create a paid (or free) support group for new BOINC projects. That would be really nice if there are any volunteers who want to start doing that. BOINC maintainers have no available manpower for that, unfortunately. By the way, you, Vitalii Koshura, wanted to help Hugo launch the BOINC project. I did not participate in your communication with Hugo. Why was the project BOINC not launched? I don't recall details, but the application of Hugo was not (at that moment) designed in a way to work good on BOINC platform.
14) Message boards : Projects : New project ODLK2025 Message 115364 Posted 5 Feb 2025 by Vitalii Koshura	In reply to Dave's message of 5 Feb 2025: We have no paid support. I may be wrong but I took the request to mean a programmer with BOINC experience who would be able and willing to take on the task. I can definitely do that task, but I won't, because of several reasons: 1. I want to keep my mental health in its current condition. 2. The application is not stable on Windows, so before moving to Linux it should be fixed in the first place. 3. I'd say the whole application should be rewritten in something more reliable and performant. Again, this is doable, but requires time. Taking into the consideration all the written above by Nataliia (including additional text on her Projects' forums) in my and David's address, I don't want to work on those Projects ever. Thank you for understanding.

17) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC Manager autostarts but doesn't find work or projects Message 115326 Posted 1 Feb 2025 by Vitalii Koshura	By default BOINC client runs as a service. When you run it manually, it starts from your user. If you want service to pickup your user location, go to /etc/default/boinc-client and set path to your BOINC Data directory. Then do the restart.
18) Message boards : Questions and problems : No more tasks setting doesn't seem to stick Message 115286 Posted 27 Jan 2025 by Vitalii Koshura	In reply to archer1960's message of 27 Jan 2025: I have been setting "No more tasks" for the NFS@home project, but when I go into BOINC Manager to check statuses every few hours, that setting has gone away, and NFS@Home has more tasks. How do I get that to stick? Are you connected to any Account Manager?
19) Message boards : Projects : New project ODLK2025 Message 115245 Posted 22 Jan 2025 by Vitalii Koshura	Everything that was written in this thread is related to your project, not you directly (and I intentionally pointed that we are not solving any technical and/or personal issues that are not related directly to the BOINC software). If you took anything personally - my apologies, this was not my intention. However, you have ignored everything that was written to you. And instead of fixing issues and politely answering people, you decided to attack them. Please, be careful and always think what you write: this is not your forum where you have admin permissions and can remove anything you don't like; for insulting people here you can be easily get banned, and I really don't believe this will make any positive impact on your Project.
20) Message boards : Projects : New project ODLK2025 Message 115240 Posted 21 Jan 2025 by Vitalii Koshura	In reply to Nataly-Mak's message of 21 Jan 2025: The description is also available at the link "About the ODLK2025 project" https://boinc.mak.termit.me/odlk2025/about.php I was talking about the Project's main page: https://imgur.com/GNb57sg Stupid quibbles! As I already wrote you above, we treat all projects equally. And by saying this: I've answered everything you wrote: I've known for 7 years how the BOINC project has been included in the official list. You are basically telling me that you haven't read my message. I stated there quite detailed why it's better to have the project running for several months before being added to the official list. We as a BOINC maintainers take care not only about the Projects, but also about our users and community, and we want our users to have nice experience while using our product by contributing their hardware (and electricity bills) to the Projects. Also, as I mentioned before, for the Project to be added to the official list is not a mandatory step. And, as you said, you have running BOINC projects for 7 years, so you definitely should have know that, as well as that fact that the Project should provide all the required information to the new users just on the main page without forcing them to explore forum or any other website pages for the vital information like the Project description and its goals. You can argue as much as you want, but this will not solve anything.
