Good evening folks! The Pentathlon has now concluded. Everything is so much quieter now! If you still have WUs that you don't plan on crunching, please abort them rather than suspending them. This will allow them to be sent back out as soon as possible. Now before we get into this blog that is later than the WAN show I need to tell you what I'm listening to!
Well it certainly has taken me a while to write this so there are a few things I am listening to!
Willie Nelson has released a new

Same as yesterday, CPU Full power on WCG for the Marathon! Use the auto update task: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1608274-boinc-pentathlon-2025/?do=findComment&comment=16729270
GPU Full power on Einstein for the Steeplechase!
Good evening everyone! Hope you all are doing well this Saturday. We only have one day left! That's 24 more hours for the team and yourself to make a rank change. Can your system handle another 24 hours of heat
Strategy for the Next 24 hours TLDR:
CPU Full power on WCG for the Marathon!
GPU Full power on Einstein for the Steeplechase!
Good evening folks! Spec isn't feeling the best so I will be writing tonight with some help. I will be writing quite a bit this with voice to text so blame any mistakes on that!
Today I am listening to the 1976 live alblum "Wings Over America." It's my favorite Wings album and brings so much energy to the tracks from previous
Strategy for the Next 24 hours TLDR:
CPU Full power on WCG for the Marathon!
GPU Full power on Einstein for the Steeplechase. Today is a 30% bonus day, so drop those bunkers!
Good evening everyone! We are now eleven days into the event with only three remaining. I hope you all had "fun" spamming retry to send in the NFS WUs. I sure did. We have now entered the final push and we need to use these next few days strategically.
However first I must talk about what I'm
Strategy for the Next 24 hours TLDR:
All GPUs to BUNKER Einstein, release all NFS WUs completed, try to throw any new HW onto NFS, maintain otherwise. If you can’t bunker Einstein, then please just crunch it. But we get random bonus days, so bunkering would be ideal.
Ladles and Gentlespoons, It’s all happening, isn’t it! It took over 7 mins to download the NFS data, but we managed to get it in the end. Guys, we have fewer CPUs from the team on this throw, so please, if you have
Strategy for the Next 24 hours TLDR:
Begin bunkering NFS for the next Jav throw!
Today is a 30% bonus day for the Steeplechase so dump those Einstein@Home bunkers.
Good evening everyone! We are now nine days into the event and have completed two successful Jav throws. Just a reminder, today was Microsoft's patch Tuesday, so make sure your systems have not been shut of by the Windows update!
Before we get started, I ought to tell you what I am listening to today! I'm ro
Strategy for the Next 24 hours TLDR:
All GPUs to BUNKER Einstein, release all NFS WUs completed, try to throw any new HW onto NFS, maintain otherwise. If you can’t bunker Einstein, then please just crunch it. But we get random bonus days, so bunkering would be ideal. Make sure to enable data exporting to statistics aggregation websites.
Ladles and Gentlespoons, I think it is safe to say, congratulations on our second silver for this event. It’s not just that we have more peo
Strategy for the Next 24 hours TLDR:
Bunker CPU on NFS@Home for the next Javelin throw.
Full GPU power on SRBase for the Sprint.
Ladles and Gentlespoons, it is once again I, TheLANguy. I hope I fooled you for a second. We are now halfway through the Pent and a new week of crunching has begun. 24 hours remain for the Sprint and the Steeplechase has just begun. If you plan on running Einstein@Home for the Steeplechase tomorrow, please login to your Einstein@Home account, the
Strategy for the Next 24 hours TLDR:
Full CPU power on NFS@Home! Let's get a great Javelin throw
Full GPU power on SRBase for the Sprint.
Good evening folks! We are nearly halfway through the Pent and have a very exciting next few days ahead of us. Right now our troops are battling it out in the Marathon, in a Sprint and are even throwing some Javelins! Today will be an eventful one. However, before we get into the blog I would like to wish a happy birthday to @Lightwreath
Strategy for the Next 24 hours TLDR:
If you were running Milkyboi, move that hardware to NFS bunkering, if you have GPUs put them on the Sprint which is SRBase. And for those of you who are used to events from me elsewhere, welcome home friend, why don’t you stretch your legs.
Ladles and Gentlespoons, first of all, congratulations, you’ve earned that much. Wasn’t that just so delightful? Wasn’t it so entertaining? I don’t think I’ve refreshed pages like that since FapGate back i
Strategy for the Next 24 hours TLDR:
Steady as she goes, TeamLTT, hold her steady. We know what we are doing, concentrate on pressing our advantage and the like.
Ladles and Gentlespoons, you know whats up. Today is a great day, a day for a steady hand and continued pressing of hardware. We can do this together, I don’t know about you but I gotta work to pay this electric bill! Standing shoulder to shoulder, we face the relentless tides of WUs and we do not falter. We are not frail in t
Strategy for the Next 24 hours TLDR:
-Focus on crunching MilkyWay@Home for the City Run. Let's increase our lead and get to 2nd!
- If you can, bunker SRBase and adjust your settings to only use GPU
-We ARE skipping the first Jav throw but will participate in the one on May 11th
Good evening everyone! Three days of crunching are now complete and we have certainly made the most out of each one. Today we pushed are way into third in city run and remain in a fight to both k

I was just watching a clip about archimedes , and as usual it mentioned the following of his inventions:
- the catapult ,
- the claw
- the mirrors
but this time , the katapult and the claw were considered the only likely ones.
whereas i actually think the mirrors would be easier to do and engeneer then a catapult or a hand that sinks boats.. only nobody seems the actually want to seriously test it.
the mythbusters tried with president Obama an
Attention all fairy tale things...
The BOINC Pent has a GPU project coming up... Help us out, let us show the Pent what the 2nd best ranked FaH Team can do. Please, I am making a personal request for everyone to get involved, it is only 3 days, and we need every GPU we can get
@TheLANguy Can we get a guide ASAP, drop a comment below of the guide when you make it.
It is rare that I ask you to redirect your compute away from folding at home. But today, on this day, I
Strategy for the Next 24 hours TLDR:
Focus on crunching MilkyWay@Home for the City Run. Give it all you’ve got, and if you have an old Android phone in a drawer, throw BOINC on it for WCG. We ARE skipping the first throw. Hammer home the advantage while we have it.
Ladles and Gentlespoons, first of all, Thank you @TheLANguy for allowing me the pleasure of writing this update for the second day of the pent. We are doing well, and in fact this is the single best performance of TeamLT
Strategy for the Next 24 hours TLDR:
Focus on crunching MilkyWay@Home for the City Run. We will most likely skip the first Jav Throw.
Good evening everyone! The first 24 hours of the Pent have come to a close. I am so sorry for the delayed blog post and punctually impaired daily stats. As I'm sure you could tell, we ran into a couple of issues. Somehow things always manage to break at the worst possible time. Cough Nvidia drivers Cough
Before we get started with stats,

Good evening everyone and welcome to the 2025 BOINC Pentathlon hosted by Seti Germany. I am TheLANguy, the leader of the LTT BOINC team.
This is the sixteenth year of the event and the seventh year of Team LTT participating. Out of these last six years we have made it into the top four, four times! This year we have over fifty participants on Team LTT ready to beat our previous best and mak
Well, well, well. It is that time again!
There are less than 72 hours until the Pentathlon starts! The first project has been announced. I can hear fans spinning up and CPUs getting warm as the pregame begins. 20 teams will be participating in the Pent this year. Last year we battled it out with [H]ard|OCP and landed in fourth place.
There are some big questions this year:
Will TeAm AnandTech and 3DNow fall off the pedestal?
Will our systems survive the ultimate stress

Good evening everyone!
The six day 2025 BOINC sprint has now come to a close. It sure went by fast!
Today I've been working on adding the finishing touches on a website I'm designing for someone. They sent over a few more things they wanted added. Unfortunately it now looks like it will take another 6 hours of work. But of course, before we get into anything else, I must tell you what I'm listening to! Today it's REO Speedwagon. I've had Roll with the Changes stuck in my head for t
Good evening everyone! @TheLANguy here again. It is hard to believe that the event will be over in only 24 hours. It feels like it has gone by so fast.
Things almost didn't go well with the statgrab today. You see, I took a little nap this afternoon, and luckily I woke up about five minutes before stat time. Looks like I might need to add a little more automation to my script. To get myself a bit more awake to write this, I'm listening to some Rush, specifically YYZ and La Villa Stra
