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?

Thank you for your votes, my dear and loyal subjects. ;) :p :) :D

Lines 1 and 197 tell the story well enough; hits a bad "block" and just goes bye-bye. The error bit count seems a bit high, however I'm not sure what program that is, so can't reference my drive as an example. You mentioned trying a different data cable, and a different power connector, but...

$1,500 for the 3090. Fuck me gently with a chainsaw! :eek: o_O I get that it's a "great value" as a compute card... but for gaming? Jeez.

I didn't see anything about this (or could just be blind); but are there any rules against increasing the number of computers after the event starts?

Thank you for the nomination, Priller. :) Not sure how I missed that; probably because if my brain wasn't melting from the heat wave, it has been stressed by the fires near where pututu and I live. :p

It sure is... fires everywhere it seems like. :( Most of the day seemed to have a 'yellow filter' applied; was really weird.

He already is! Congrats, EXT64 :D

Obtained on the 15th/16th. Not bad for two months real-world time. ;) Keeping meaning to fire up more 4P boxes; but clearly keep forgetting. :p

So... not a milestone... but did add two of these boxes to my OpenPandemics efforts. Not sure if they're settled in yet (WCG wouldn't feed them completely at first) but one did ~860K/ppd and the other ~875K/ppd. Not too shabby. :p. Yesterday's results: 07/22/2020 1:217:21:57:12 2,508,213 4,354

Fired up five 2P servers late 16JUN and crossed 5y 26JUN. Am rarely in the office due to the continued WFH situation; but have a few big boxes I might bring online early next month. :D Hmm. Guess I should do something about that. Only took a one year break from WCG. ;) 06/16/2020...

This is with the multi threaded setup. Won't go above 47% or so. On some of my more... tame... 4Ps I tricked BOINC until the box was running around 100% usage. However, on these 100+ "core" systems I keep running into this issue. If the challenge had just started I'd simply run two VMs to each...

This just arrived today; but BOINC won't max out all the cores and I don't have the time to fight with it anymore. (Thought I could just install a second instance of BOINC... but guess not?) https://www.primegrid.com/show_host_detail.php?hostid=967806 Not sure why some BOINC projects have...

Threw a few systems on for shits and giggles. Probably way too little, way too late, but what the heck.

Welcome back, stranger. You rather missed a lot. :p We missed 3rd place in the Pentathalon by a nose. Kyle killed hardocp. Team is in a bit of flux right now. Those are the three major ones I can think of! :lol:

Ahh. Good points. Well, I haven't looked at the ladders, but I'd imagine four positions aren't going to make that much of a difference in the long run. (Could be grossly incorrect though!)

10esseeTony Yeah, a little bit. Things are busy as hell at work and, honestly, doing this kind of stuff was getting too distracting. Plus I get paranoid from time to time, so go dark now and then. I was tempted to try and piss some people off for the recent Prime Grid event; but truthfully I...

Huh. Guess not. Thought there was a Diamond 200. So looks like I'm in the top 110 for the things that matter; Total Run Time & Results returned. Guess points will take a little longer. Weird that points is off a little like that. Total Run Time (y:d:h:m:s) (Rank) 743:140:02:33:03 (#109)...

I've considered wreaking havoc as a one man army a few times... ;):ROFLMAO:

I didn't reach any major milestones / badges; but believe I added ~19.5 years to OZ during the Penathalon before switching to LHC for the Sprint. OpenZika 270,278,343 666,958 187:289:14:55:24 Am going "quiet" for a little while; but then I'll go back online and have at it to reach to...

I'm really kicking myself for not finding the time to add more systems to LHC. Certainly had more at my disposal; but getting the ones I did bring online (20 boxes, a mix of 2P and 4P Xeons spanning Sandy through Skylake) was a real PITFA due to other issues. Was suffering from burnout pretty...

Yeah, I'm feeling a little bit salty over here. Was here until 1230 this morning getting a bunch of systems online in hopes of helping our team. However, with the piss poor payout, and the slow as fucking hell validation, it seems to have been a waste of time. State: All (20771) · In progress...

atp raises some good points and I agree with the main complaint (as I read it) stated in #3. There's too much bullshit going on. Could rant and rave, but as I think about it, assholes who screw the game by pulling WUs they'll never do, just to screw with people, are one of the biggest problems...

Well, bombs away and all that. :)
