    I've got a quad-port PCIe gigabit NIC if anyone wants it. Pulled from a HP server.

    Looks like we just overtook them, so seeing as they've been ahead for most of the challenge, that looks like a good deal for us. Top-10 finish I can take :)

    At least here in Maine it's not hot yet outside, so I can open up the windows, stick a box fan in the window, and keep the place perfectly comfortable that way. Definitely going to be running at reduced strength for the summer contests though.

    I'm givin' her all she's got, captain! (not quite, but it's finally warming up enough that I can't bear to turn on the last two systems. If the house heats up too much, the dual-CPU EPYC system overheats the VRMs and throttles to 400MHz, do it does more harm than good :( ) Huh. How are you...

    Did you fix this to change the -pc to -pca?

    Seems to be making a huge difference (tasks run in < half the time) on my EPYC system. Can't argue with that. So overall the script is workable, I think. It could use a bit more polish to make it easier to use. So far it lets you skip the first couple CPU cores if necessary to keep things...

    14th place so far 😑 I wrote a Python script last night to handle pinning individual WUs to CCDs in my EPYC chips, and the results are _drastically_ better than letting the OS do it itself. With that in mind, I've got a couple more of my systems now running TRP as well, and hopefully that'll...
