Is the #BOINC #DistributedComputing project sadly gradually becoming obsolete or dying? #WCGrid nowadays seems to spend almost as much time down as up under its not-so-new caretakers, I very very rarely get any work from #ClimatePrediction, #RosettaAtHome also seems to have fairly frequent server errors, and most of the rest seem to be literal number-crunching that I don't want to expend electricity on. Have #GPU nodes mostly taken over for this sort of scientific research now?

I've just removed all of my #worldcommunitygrid instances. I have been running #wcg on a number of machines for many years now but, since its migration from IBM, it has become increasingly fragmented and, not to put a finer point on it, thoroughly unreliable. I'm not prepared to continue to support an organisation that takes over 2 weeks to carry out a migration that was planned (if it was planned at all) to take an afternoon. Sad.

This is my 13th #blaugust post. No wonder I'm behind schedule if I write a post for three days... 😀 This one about what my username means to me.

For any #BOINC users out there, I'm trying to reinstall it on my desktop. I think my antivirus messed it up. I'm neither able to uninstall or install it properly, getting the same error in both cases. So clearly, I'm missing something somewhere. Anyone have any ideas?

RIP Safely Home Reporter — Western Cape Government has discontinued the service

I encounter quite a few reckless drivers on the road, of which more than half are red traffic light jumpers. Some of these end up being close encounters with other drivers. I used to nearly blow a gasket when I saw these things happening. Then I bou ...continues

I've been lamenting the tremendous waste of resources dedicated to cryptomining, but I finally got around to installing BOINC and signed up for tasks from Rosetta@home (protein folding.)

The trailblazing SETI@home project is no longer/currently active, but World Community Grid (ex-IBM), and Science United (NSF/UCB run) offer plenty of opportunities to use CPU/GPU cycles for good.

Now, to keep a lid on my resource usage...

I've been using #WorldCommunityGrid for... wow... four years now. Where the hell did the time go?
As a #cancer survivor I'm pretty passionate about finding treatments, and that's one of the things #WCG tackles. But almost everyone I've ever tried to get interested in the program is against it and I don't understand why. Curious if anyone out there is using it besides me.
