Maybe BOINC just hates you

Uninstall BOINC and delete all the BOINC files and start again, that might fix it

Yep certainly agree, hopefully 3.1 does actually live up to the release noted and noticeably improves it.

Well that is a workaround heh

Hope so, damn close for sure.

Some can, some can't. But that team itself object to connecting to server hosted there for personal and digital safety reasons. Either way it's changed, and won't be changed back.

17 hours matters so little to get that annoyed about

I think they are trying to be ironic with that name or something. I just don't have any interest in any of that subject matter and I don't think it should have any place in the competition. None of the people in involved with the BOINC Projects have anything to do with it or any influence over it. What matters is there is an active team in this competition who can't participate, that's it. Why doesn't need to be expanded on, or argued about. Having the project changed 100% sucks, I was super keen to do well in it this year.

Well, every year someone gets super annoyed. Never fails to happen

Using that is still painful as hell, I usually end up with with multiple instances of manager open connected to all of them. Change between computers via the dropdown and putting in password across ~30 is pure pain, every time

Maybe have a look at BOINCTasks, @SkillzTA pointed it out to me.

Ouch I know that pain, that is how I manage mine currently. It's not fun at all

I wouldn't worry about it much, the Pentathlon is just same yearly fun that happens the same time every year. Realistically as a team we need to remember when it's coming and get organized before hand. The SiDock issue was where the servers are hosted and one of the teams isn't able to connect to servers in that country. All the current projects are in the first topic post if you are interested in taking a look, The Sprint (Numbers@Home) has finished.

That only applies to EU for within EU for EU etc etc. It doesn't effect content licensing rights for streaming. If Netflix doesn't have license to stream in EU then using a VPN to watch US content simply isn't "allowed". And the same the other way, just because you live in the EU doesn't mean you get access to EU content when you visit the US. I just think it's rather dull to be arguing about what rights you have to view content when the list either way is in the thousands and with the physical media model you wouldn't have thousands of those. Sure 90-99% of the content on the streaming service you have no interest in and would never have purchased it but this is also why streaming and physical media are different and each have their own merits and negatives. Many other services have "solved" these types of issues by allowed offline download with time base expiry key on the content so if you are going away you can watch what you want. I say solved loosely because it doesn't address all the issues but it does blunt the tip of many arguments around VPN usage.

The issue is not between you and the service you pay for, which isn't a 'civil contract' in the way you put it either. If Netflix is deemed to be allowing you to stream Avengers in a region that Disney+ has the right to then Disney+ can sue Netflix. What you are doing is actually a legal liability to Netflix which is why they block VPNs, not because they just want to. If Netflix has the content then they actually do want as many people to be able to view it to create the most appealing service possible to get the most subscribers possible. Until exclusive content rights are outlawed this is just how it's going to be because none of the stream services want to share and just fight to the death with each other.

Stick with City Run, we have a half decent chance at 3rd

They are all HPE so the motherboards aren't too useful if you want to put them in another BYO chassis. All my stuff runs in racks where I work which is why it's both free power and cooling/noise doesn't matter. But that comes with only being allowed to use the hardware for professional development, lab work and scientific research like BOINC and F@H. Since we are a university our TOS on our network links don't allow any commercial profit and all use must be for academic purposes, research or teaching. I also have an HPE 1000 42U rack at home with servers in that too but only 10 or so, I forget exactly how many. The other thing I wanted is for us to create a BOINC project but they always say no due to data sensitivity reasons since a lot of the research is tied to commercial funding and they say no, or the university does. Anyway all our researchers have access to multiple different slurm clusters with about 40,000 cores.

Shipping out of NZ is horrible anyway, would be $1000 per server Already wanted to send hardware out to others in the team but I can only do that if I tear down the servers and send just the CPUs and ram. Thing is where I run my hardware I don't pay for power so it's really better they stay here.

That's not how drugs work

In about 2 years time I should be able to get my hands on 18 2x 7713 servers

Well those 48 are worth 96 to 144 of some of the ones I have lol Just remember some of my CPUs are 2012 era haha

15e and 16e small math or something, I forget the exact name. I posted it some pages back in this topic. P.S. I past 800 cores yesterday. Today I'll see if I can hit 1000, got some old supermicro servers with Xeon 51XX and 52XX generation CPUs in them.

I've updated the main topic post, I doubt anyone got around to running the project anyway.

Other project you can run all thread including HT. It does depends sometimes but PrimeGrid is more unique than most.
