41) Message boards : Questions and problems : netbsd client location ? (Message 113281) Posted 14 Dec 2023 by Jord Post: Your other problem will be to find a project that still has applications that run on that old hardware. I don't think there are any. It's a 32bit CPU, isn't it? And an early one? 1997? I would do other things with it. There are channels on Youtube showing old hardware with period correct operating systems and programs and games.
42) Message boards : Questions and problems : when adding a second machine/client , can I just copy the project config files from the first client (Message 113275) Posted 13 Dec 2023 by Jord Post: Isn't that only of concern with exactly the same hardware?
43) Message boards : The Lounge : These are no longer with us, may they have peace. (Message 113270) Posted 13 Dec 2023 by Jord Post: American actor Andre Braugher, 61.
44) Message boards : Questions and problems : when adding a second machine/client , can I just copy the project config files from the first client (Message 113269) Posted 13 Dec 2023 by Jord Post: The file controlling which projects you added and all is client_state.xml, you can copy this file to another computer and that computer will then immediately have the projects added that the first computer has.
45) Message boards : Questions and problems : "Computing suspended because processor usage is high" (Message 113249) Posted 10 Dec 2023 by Jord Post: Preferences when set via a project's website, are global. This means that you set them at one project and they will propagate to all other projects, if and when BOINC contacts them. As for not receiving emails, if the help given by computezrmle doesn't fix things, check your email's Spam folder. My notifications from boinc.berkeley.edu arrive in there as well.

47) Message boards : Questions and problems : Whats the staus of SPARC CPU jobs? (Message 113232) Posted 5 Dec 2023 by Jord Post: A handful of projects had applications for the Sun Fire CPUs, where the application was ported and built by a user, but he's no longer maintaining them, or the projects can't use the applications anymore due to incompatibilities, or the projects died out.

49) Message boards : The Lounge : Grumbles, Glory and All Your Off Topic Discussions (Message 113218) Posted 3 Dec 2023 by Jord Post: I want one. Though what will I backup onto it first? https://www.techradar.com/pro/video-of-ceramic-storage-system-prototype-surfaces-online-10000tb-cartridges-bombarded-with-laser-rays-could-become-mainstream-by-2030-making-slow-hard-drives-and-tapes-obsolete
50) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC Manager bug. (Message 113213) Posted 2 Dec 2023 by Jord Post: There are no specific language versions of BOINC Manager. Instead, BOINC Manager uses a language.po file, which gets its language updates from https://explore.transifex.com/boinc/boinc/, which is a site where users can update the language files. Just saying, you can wait for the Norwegian updater to fix the typo, or you can make an account there and check if the typo is still in the newest version of the Norwegian translation, and if so, fix it yourself. Then it'll be updated in a future version of BOINC.
51) Message boards : The Lounge : Let's talk politics (Message 113166) Posted 24 Nov 2023 by Jord Post: We had 22 parties we could choose from these last elections, of which only 15 managed to get enough votes for seats. How these parties will now continue, you can best read at https://www.houseofrepresentatives.nl/elections, which is a lengthy process, can take a year.
52) Message boards : The Lounge : Let's talk politics (Message 113157) Posted 22 Nov 2023 by Jord Post: Nah. Let's first see if the PVV gets into government, as almost all other (bigger) parties have ruled out to govern with them. It should be a wake-up call, though. Because if they ignore this party and go form government without it, then the following elections, the PVV will become even bigger. Especially with these hateful flags being flown in demonstrations in the streets.
53) Message boards : Web interfaces : the_sci - Spam on multiple projects from the same user (Message 113133) Posted 18 Nov 2023 by Jord Post: As you can read, this year they have a disclaimer about who they are, with a link and all. They've probably posted it on all projects. If you still don't trust who they are or what they do, then just ignore them. They've posted the same thing in the Projects sub-forum here.
54) Message boards : Questions and problems : boinc deleting my profile multiple times (Message 113121) Posted 17 Nov 2023 by Jord Post: You mean you set up a profile on this website, your profile and then View/edit profile? Because if you do, that profile will only be set up on this website, it won't propagate to other project websites. You have to set up your profile separately at all the projects that you want to have it at. We did have an automated website for that, but it was flooded with spammers, so it's been taken down.
55) Message boards : Questions and problems : Only 1 out of seven projects reporting work (Message 113110) Posted 15 Nov 2023 by Jord Post: But I want to know what is happening with the other projects. BOINC Manager -> View ->Advanced view -> Tasks tab. You can check which Projects have work here, and which are being worked on.
56) Message boards : The Lounge : Let's talk politics (Message 113093) Posted 13 Nov 2023 by Jord Post: Confirmed. David Cameron is the new foreign secretary. Means he’s going to the Lords. Congrats.
57) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC not running (Message 113079) Posted 12 Nov 2023 by Jord Post: Go to options>computing preferences>disk Yeah, but he's using the preferences from the project, so best advise him to change things there. This so that the user always knows where to go back to. And else explain that you are pointing them to the local preferences and that these overrule all the same preferences set via the project website.
58) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC not running (Message 113078) Posted 12 Nov 2023 by Jord Post: Couple of things. Your system only has Asteroids@Home added, none of the rest. 11/10/2023 8:17:50 AM \| Asteroids@home \| URL https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/; Computer ID 755748; resource share 100 Why set these? 11/10/2023 8:17:50 AM \| \| - max download rate: 51200 bytes/sec 11/10/2023 8:17:50 AM \| \| - max upload rate: 51200 bytes/sec 11/10/2023 8:17:50 AM \| \| - max disk usage: 0.00 GB Not just have you set your maximum disk usage to zero - zero here being zero, not zero here being unlimited - but why also download and upload rates of just 51.2 Kbytes/sec? Are you on dialup? Anyhoo, BOINC does exactly what you ask it to: you don't want to store work, as you've set your disk usage preferences to zero. So it asks for work, but won't get any, because it can't store it. 11/10/2023 8:58:45 AM \| Asteroids@home \| Message from server: Period Search Application needs 95.37MB more disk space. You currently have 0.00 MB available and it needs 95.37 MB. My advice? Set your BOINC preferences to default settings at the Asteroids project. Because now you've got bad preferences. Best start again. It's okay to test things, but keep in mind what you add/change and if that doesn't work, change it again. I certainly would put a value - say 100 GB - into the max disk usage value, and preferably set the upload and download rates to something a little higher than what you have, especially if the tasks are big.

And I should know – because for the past decade I have served as an officer on the Met's frontline.
60) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC not running (Message 113072) Posted 12 Nov 2023 by Jord Post: In Windows, the easiest way to start BOINC Manager is via the Start menu. Start->search for BOINC in the list of programs->BOINC Manager. Once that has started, maybe turn on Advanced view. In BOINC Manager go to View menu -> Advanced view. CTRL+SHIFT+E opens the event log. Can you please copy & post the first 30 or so messages from here?
