2021-10-21: ODLK1, Disk up
hi,
the new disk is up and running after less than 4 hours later.
This disk is were Boinc save all past and present data (not the DB, that is in another more faster one) and the downside of a Boinc installation is that space in that area will grown day by day.
As the old one last for more than 3 years, we have at least other 3 years of data to process before fulling this one :)
2021-10-20: ODLK1, New disk
hi,
in the next days it is planned to move the Boinc data from actual disk to another big one.
The operation will be long 2 or more hours and during that time the server will be disconnected from network.
So be sure to have the WUs you need or add backup Boinc project to use in the mean time
Thanks
2021-10-20: SiDock@home, BOINC client 7.16.20 solves the certificate problem for Windows
Dear all,
If you are running BOINC on a Windows computer, please update to a new version (7.16.20) of the BOINC client. The previous version stopped working recently because of an expired SSL file that prevented it from communicating with several BOINC projects, with the BOINC server, and with Science United. You can download the new version here: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php
With best wishes,
Team of SiDock@home

We have added support for the iThena OONI Probe application for the ARM platform: aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.
We plan to add more ARM platforms soon.
You are welcome to test the iThena OONI Probe application on ARM (bugs are possible on this platform at this time - preliminary testing).

2021-10-14: MLC@Home, Current WU issues, working on a fix
A short note that we're aware of the issue with WUs coming from the CPU and TEST work queues (the GPU queue appears fine at the moment). This is due to a server-side issue related to some cleanup and upgrades I've been doing behind the scenes that appears to have gone haywire, and since it initially seemed to be working I didn't catch it immediately, leading to compounding the issues.
This is unacceptable and I apologize. While this had been tested, this failure mode was unforeseen. You rely on us to keep things running smoothly, and I failed you.
Over the next 24 hours we'll be sending out cancellations for the corrupted WUs, and may stop/start the service a few times while we try to clean things up. Please bear with us and thanks for your patience.
I stress : no data was lost, and the nature of the failure is to fail-fast on the client, so there is little to no wasted computer cycles.
Thanks again, and we'll do better in the future.
2021-10-14: TN-Grid, Storage problem
The University's storage system (that we heavily use) is having big performance issues thus everything is painfully slow. I stopped the work generator, which actually was not working because of this. No new tasks will be generated until the assimilator will be able to move the finished results to the proper place. There is nothing else to do but wait until the problem will be solved, no ETA, unfortunately.
2021-10-10: WEP-M+2 Project, P2203:190000000 wu's (of 10000 trials each equiv.) processed!
Thanks to all the users. Please keep crunching!
2021-10-10: iThena, New Task Series for iThena OONI Probe - New Settings
A new job series has been introduced for the iThena OONI Probe application.
The job tasks in the new series, are named: OONI_TESTS_1D_T...
A parameter has been set in the new series:
Max Memory Usage: 256 MB
Previously the "Max Memory Usage" value was 2048 MB which was too high (a particular problem on 32-bit platforms).
In addition, the number of credits for completing a task has been changed to 8 (previously it was 2).
Clients can still receive tasks from the old OONI_TESTS_0D_T.. series. (there are still some left in the queue).

2021-10-05: QuChemPedIA@home, New scientific publication
Dear crunchers,
We are very pleased to announce the release of our latest publication associated with the quchempedia project.
Link : https://jcheminf.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13321-021-00554-8
The article is freely available. Feel free to have a look at it even if some parts of the article are quite technical and intended for specialists.
The most important is that the results of this article are based on the calculations of this BOINC project!
With the molecules we generated and you calculated, it was possible to probe the vast space of chemistry.
You are mentioned in the acknowledgements but we would like to renew our gratitude to you here.
We have many more projects.
Kindly,
Benoit and Thomas
2021-10-05: BOINC, Windows communication failure: temporary workaround
Recently, the Windows BOINC client stopped being able to communicate with some projects and with Science United. This is because of an expired entry in a file called the "certificate authority bundle".
To fix this problem, download a new version of the file and put it in the
C:/Program Files/BOINC
directory.
This is a temporary fix. We hope to release a new version of the client that won't have this problem in the future.
2021-10-04: SiDock@home, Certificates and project communicating
Dear folks!
If BOINC on your computer experiencing a problem during project communicating, try to replace file ca-bundle.crt in programs directory of BOINC (C:\Program Files\BOINC\ca-bundle.crt, for example) by this file: https://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/download/ca-bundle.crt and restart whole BOINC processes or reboot computer.

I'm on vacation the next 2 weeks. So there is limited support for yafu during this time.
2021-10-03: RNA World, Happy New Year!
So you want any people trying to start an account or attach another computer to have to be able to read German? I can't, and therefore can't do anything useful work the page of text I get after a failed login. I can't post this as a normal message, either.
My task in progress is on a computer that has been unable to boot for about two weeks.
Is there any way to transfer the task in progress to the computer I'm using now, if I'm able to copy files from the original computer but not able to boot that computer? If so, how? If not, another three months of computer time wasted for that workunit.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

2021-09-30: Minecraft@Home, Trailer Thumbnail 2 Crack (CUDA/Nvidia GPU) Released!
A new boinc project called trailertcrack has been deployed, it aims at cracking the seed for the Thumbnail 2 of the Trailer video of Minecraft (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmB9b5njVbA), this is currently the last one missing so we can fully reproduce the original trailer within Minecraft in higher quality right in time for the 10th anniversary of this iconic piece of Minecraft history. (we do already have most of the seeds and this is an active project).
This app is GPU only and will be rewarded 3333 credits We currently only support Windows and Linux 64 bits for NVIDIA GPUs (we use cuda).
Happy crunching !
Cheers, Neil

There was a change of the account SRBase from the T5k database admin. The user was changed to a project and I cant report any primes anymore. The CRUS project has now an "Anonymous" user where all the primes will be reported from now. In the description of the CRUS project SRBase is now included.
All other primes from you are not affected and will be reported as usual.

2021-09-13: WEP-M+2 Project, New server
Hello All,
I do backups (currently) twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays generally.
Last night (Sunday 12th), I had a catastrophic server failure, and had to restore to a new machine from the latest backup (Thursday 9th). So if you notice any lost work, that?s why.
The old server (Lappy) was a 2008 MacBook running Mac OSX Leopard, and had been in continual service for about 13 years. He will be missed?
On the plus side, the new server _may_ be a bit faster.
Regards,
James (Wanless) [bearnol]
