#boinc — Public Fediverse posts

Idea: Those anti-AI #scraper systems using Proof of Work but the work is something like #BOINC to make the #AI companies contribute to science instead of just purely waste resources.

@laaspher @nordwalde Sehr gut!
In Ermangelung von Alternativen lass ich Citizen Science Projekte auf meinem Rechner laufen 🙄
#Boinc freut‘s

Its getting cold here, so I installed BOINC to donate some computer power to science while I get heating 😆

Win - win

#BOINC #Science

#solarpower #boinc #cancer #research all #AI should run only on 100% #renewables anything else is total #madness #solar #pv #LiFePo4 from #dchouse #natrium #sodium is coming!!! 😃✌👍 btw this is #watchpower a java #software by #voltronic running on #gnu #linux #debian

Of course I will try #BOINC on it xD

An 8 years old bug is now finally addressed and fixed in #BOINC client. Now BOINC client can properly detect idle time and run the processes when the computer is idle (if user have configured it that way). More info:

This year I migrated completely from #boinc to #folding since none of the projects in BOINC seem to be actually working anymore.

Months of jobless queues and even if there where jobs the servers would never allow me to turn them in.

Both Rosetta and WorldCommunityGrid seem to be practically death.

Its been a rough winter but a good one for scientific computing. Managed to go from rank 12k tot 6.2

Need a bit more computer headroom for the new house though.

Hay mejores maneras que dejar a los mismos de siempre hacer y deshacer a placer.

#BOINC World Community Grid is back! I got tasks from them and crunching them now

SETI@Home Has Finally Been Completed After 27 Years, Here's What Was Found

In #BOINC news, I'm still crunching Einstein@Home, but I'm considering also going back to Asteroids@Home

Here some other #boinc projects:

https://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php

there are also #climate prediction ones.

I am cleaning up my vault and found an entry about #WorldCommunityGrid

In the past I've contributed three using the #boinc client.
I can remember that in this time, they had some successes for childhood cancer.

Looks like this project is still online.

Have you ever heard of that or done similar things?

I think #SetiAtHome worked similar.

J'ai commencé à faire du calcul collaboratif/distribué/scientifique en 1999. https://www.boincstats.com/stats/-1/user/detail/8d47a7ae32f88db3914a62a532019f6b

Ich habe mir gerade mal schnell #BUDA von #BOINC angeschaut. Also quasi #Docker Container als App für BOINC. Was ist das denn bitte wieder für ein Design? Warum muss man ein Dockerfile und die entsprechenden Dateien zur Verfügung stellen damit dann auf dem Client der ganze Container erst gebaut wird? Einfacher wäre doch einen Container aus einem Hub zur Verfügung zu stellen und den Job auf dem Client in den Container zu mounten.

Doing another crunch run for @einsteinathome

Today it's BRP7 (Meerkat) tasks on the menu, my computer is searching for binary pulsar stars.

If everything goes well, in two-three months I will update my server and my GPU, and then I will really burn through the tasks!

#boinc

I wanted to set up a wireguard VPN, so why are two of my machines running #boinc now?
I think I need an ADHD test because seriously

I might at some point just get more solar panels, and build a solar-powered #BOINC machine/cluster. That would be fun

in #BOINC news, @einsteinathome has started a new type of tasks, the Multi-Directional Gravitational Wave Search on O4 data (O4MD1), which runs on GPUs. On my 3060, a task takes around 5 minutes, but my BOINC machine is very CPU-bottlenecked when doing GPU calculations

Meanwhile in the #boinc world, it seems that Asteroids@Home is past the downtime and later technical issues, and has a lot of tasks to crunch, both CPU and GPU

https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/home.php

#BOINC Central is an open platform for scientists.
I’ve decided to start creating tutorials and publishing them on #Medium.
The first tutorial, covering #Autodock, #Vina, and #Vinardo, is available: https://medium.com/@lestat.de.lionkur/molecular-docking-with-autodock4-vina-and-vinardo-on-boinc-central-7117645d0551

I'm trying to get BOINC running headless on Linux, in a separate account, but I can't figure out how to attach to a project.

Does anyone have some info / guidance?
I know I have to run./boinccmd --atach-project, but what is a project URL and where do I find the corresponding key??
