Looks like I'm in the same boat. Tried some addresses near work and no-go. You reminded me that I do have 40GB/m of 5G mobile tethering, and then slower unlimited after that. So now need to figure out how to make that happen... since am already paying for it! 😅 Presuming I can make it work...

That would be... a lot... of hardware to move out without raising some massive red flags. :LOL: But, no, no FS thread. :p Have been thinking about one of those TMo 5G "home internet" boxes for $30 that they keep spamming me about. IIRC it doesn't have data caps, no contract and the...

Remind me which site it is that tracks all of the BOINC projects? I recognize the chart in post #9; but am so rusty I can't recall where it is. :oldman: (but according to signature generating site, I've not cracked 1B combined. Weak!)

Greetings, crunchers, folders and point chasing loonies the lot of you. :D I'm not dead, just got... bored? Distracted? Being WFH for nearly three years certainly played a part in the whole thing. Think most of my boxes were doing WCG and, when that stopped putting out WUs for however long...

Suspect Intel dropping the ball on shrinking their processes might have a little to do with this. AMD, or TSMC really, cleaned their clocks in that regards. I upgrade every ~5 years and am definitely due as my i7-8700K is a little long-in-the-tooth. Now engaged in the classic "Intel vs AMD"...

Y'All need to campaign, dagnabbit! ;)

Aww. :notworthy::)

You know... normally I feel like this come HDCOTY time... But this year? Well, I've not been very active. Just a few "boxes" hammering away at CV19 w/ WCG. While this is, indeed, all well and good; it's not HDCOTY worthy as I've not been active in any of the competitions and such...

Haven't checked things in quite a while... After 6.5 months am at 255 years for OpenPandemics. (Or at least will be during the next update) The geek in me likes the subnet reference. ;) And, at some point, Beta went Ruby.

Sorry, folks. I've not been to work in ages and never had a chance to fire up more boxes more than the 6-8 boxes that've been running WCG for months now. :( Not sure if it would've made much of a difference since I wouldn't have time to play the bunker game. (which, IMHO, needs to be abolished)

was achieved on 22SEP. Just over three months for 0-to-100. ;)

Been chugging along with my EVGA 1070 FTW and am excited for the 3080; but will wait a month or two. Really really want to jump now... yet I remember being burned once when buying at launch and the prices dropped majorly a few weeks later. Figure it'll give a chance for any major issues to come...

Who, me? :whistle: ;) :ROFLMAO: Gotta take what I can get after the "upset" of losing HDCOTY. :p (Although, IIRC, it was to Skillz, who absolutely deserved it)

If what DelTacoRay mentioned in the August voting thread counts, I'd put their name forward.

Thanks! Not sure if this is 4x or 5x. Does ChristianVirtual still maintain the HDCOTM database?
