Alright ladles and gentlespoons listen up, I got some sage advice for you all who are looking to compete. The earlier you get hardware online, the more points you will get in total. I've seen far too often where someone scrambles to get every last point in a photo finish and they brought their craptastic hardware on too late to make the difference. Plan ahead, think about possible sources of compute and get them running ASAP.
Today has been our best performing so far.

Hello LTT members and lurking perusers..
I have had a major beef with streaming companies for some years now.. we deserve 4K.. but trying to get 4K on PC from a streaming company is a bit like trying to get reimbursed for the bin lorry/garbage truck scratching your car's paint work.
Please Read:
We all have 4K TV's now.. where is the content?
The streaming companies will say they give 4K.. but only on tablets and phones.. who have tiny screens.. and so it's pr
Here we are, ladles and gentlespoons, day two has come and gone. As many of us went about our daily lives our workhorses, of all matter of shapes and sizes. From the lowly Raspberry Pi to the laptops, From the mini PCs to the multi-GPU servers. All working together to help unlock the secrets of human biology. There have been no reported losses of assets since the beginning of the event.
It is always interesting to see the ramp-up of the first few days, where people scrounge for hardware to
So, first I'm going to say is, my keyboard is broken. I'm going to try my best to get through this and correct any errors that come from it but I may not get them all. Please bear it in mind. Due to the costs of staying att my friends to look after them, I have no cash to replace it. But that will not stop me from writing these glorious blogs.
Now with that said, welcome ladles and gentlespoons to Folding Month Seven. Once again I will be your mostly impartial host for this event. I want t
And so the time for new sign ups to join is coming to a close, but with the late WAN show shout out I'm going to give it around another 24 hours. I'll close it for entries sometime around midnight GMT, and once that is done, if you aren't signed up, hope to see you at the next event.
I seem to have had my annual trip to hospital early this year, it is usually right in the middle of the event. So let's hope I don't need it again this year! It has been an incredibly busy and demanding time o
Well... It is never dull for me during folding month season. First of all, you may already know but a friend of mine tried to take their own life so I'm going to be away from home for maybe a few days so thought I would update the public sheet. Give access to the public sheet to @cbigfoot and @leadeater just in case. I'm going to be taking my tablet with me, it's a 2-in-1 so should be possible to do anything thats needed.
We are now up to 71 people signed up for the event, pretty nice to s
Backing up Physical disk to a virtual disk (vmdk)
(on commandline)
Advantages of VMDK over Other Backup Formats
VMDK files can easily be mounted and used as virtual drives, either for running in a virtual machine or for direct access. They support features such as splitting into 2GB chunks upon creation, incremental backups, and compression both during creation and use. VMDK allows for full disk backups in bit-for-bit style, including the partition table, or selective partition b
Good morning to you all. It is 0104 right now and my ADHD-riddled brain has been itching to do the first post for this event so here we are.
First of all, we are looking a little light on the ground. Only 40 participants have signed-up for the event so far. So, if you know anyone who usually takes part why not give them a little nudge? Also, I was hoping to get more prizes by now but I am yet to hear from my LMG contact on the side of prizes and no community members have chipped in.
Why did i do that?
When looking for the 212 EVO AM4 upgrade kit,It's only available on the Cooler Master Europe website,
And even though i live in Europe,the upgrade kit is usually out of stock and when it is in stock Cooler Master asked me to pay 34 Euro shipping even though the kit is sent from within Europe,
That shipping alone costs as much as a new 212 EVO from within Europe,it should cost significantly more in countries outside Europe.
How did i do that?
I w
Well today is the day where I wave goodbye to you all for another event. But first thank you to everyone who participated, thank you to the guys who helped out running the event and thank you to anyone who has ever donated a prize to the event. You are all very much appreciated and together you all make these events worth running time after time.
In this event, we produced 6,285,771,470 points in total, an incredible total for only a single week. It was only a handful of years ago t
Well, this week has turned out to be very busy for me, not something I was expecting but yknow how life can be. But here we are, the final 24 hours of the event, I have to say only NOW has it cooled down here in the UK, guess I should have done it a week later. Anyway, I hope you are all well and let's look at some ranks.
Now let's have a look at the ranks, this will be the final time we are watching the stats while thinking about who can get a leg up on those around them. In first
I gotta make this quick, I'm joining an AA meeting in 10 mins, so how are we looking?
Well it's a little boring at the top so let's make it fast and see what else is on the cards. miker07 in first with 531,503,421, Shlouski up next with 470,794,411 and Justaphf remains in third with 455,607,440. 5mall5nail5 looks safe in fourth with 365,686,585, Mxyzptlk also is looking good in 5th with 311,393,601.
Moving on from the top five we have RollinLower in sixth, who has a sor
Well guys, I have to say I enjoyed hearing a number of local bands, but how did I miss you all. I can see that some of you are really pushing hard for this little sprint in the sun. I hope you aren't too uncomfortable... Either because it's too hot or because you are thinking of the electric bill you are expecting from the AC unit running.
In first place we have the man, the legend... Miker-oh-seven sitting on the throne looking like no one can top him, he takes the rank with 386,21
Well guys, here we are yet another folding event, the second folding event of this year, I'm hoping to host two more events this year, a mid-week madness in a couple of months and the greatest event of all time, Folding Month VII.
I'm not feeling very well so we will see how this goes, going to keep it short and sweet.
Shlouski is up in the number one spot with 113m points, followed by miker07 with 110, justaphf with 101 and those are the only guys who did over 100m the

It is a great day, the day where you all find out where in the ranks you found yourself at the end of the event. I know there are a lot of new people in the team so I thought I would take a minute to explain the delay. Usually, after Folding Month ends I take a few days to look after myself. I'm a disabled guy with several chronic illnesses and although I love hosting Folding Month every year it does take it out of me, so having a few days to rest before I need to start handing out prizes is som
Well, who would have thought it, only 24 hours are remaining, I don't foresee any crazy changes before the final bell but no matter what happens you should all be proud of what we have done together. An incredible amount of scientific work has been worked through and it is always good to remember why we are doing this. Thank you to every single person no matter how many points you have produced during the last month or so.
Let's see how the team is looking overall, it's been an insa
The last 48 hours are upon us, and it's time to see who will gain those last precious few ranks and who will lose out. Only time will tell that, but for now, there is plenty of movement in the lower ranks and it will be interesting to see how @TVwazhere is going, we haven't checked up on him in a few days.
The team overall did lower than average today producing only 2,024,819,842 points over the last 24 hours. For the week that number goes up to 10,744,153,373 and for the event as a
