I wish the Play store on Android devices would begin to download the next app that needs to be updated while the app that just had the download package completed is being installed. But it's all serial. Look at CPU usage, decompression could be bottleneck? Steam store classic example. Slow server?

6:20 yeah, stacking servers floor to ceiling, nothing wrong with that! Or Optiplex/Prodesk SFFs anyway.

327K miles on my 2013 Chevy Volt which is essentially an EV ... an EV with a generator .. 'Extended-range EV'. Drivetrain life is basically infinite just change the transaxle fluid every 100K. Gas engine has had a PCV valve, spark plugs/coilpack, O2s replaced and that's it. Sure, they say the main seal is leaking but the rate is not cause for concern. Electric power steering no work done ever just rods. Suspension work because i race over speed bumps and pot holes every day and axles and engine mounts delivering food. But 'maintenance'? Maintenance cost is minimal in an EV. Just rare fluid changes.

326K miles yes miles on my 2013 Chevy Volt. Abusive food delivery miles. Seriously jaw dropping abusive. Electric drive is win! I just bought another 4 cheap just in case i ever need to bring it to active status. Has a Kolchuga skid plate. 1999 Civic automatic 260K miles Pic is a bit old, car not quite the same.

As far as I know A8, and a9 work is CPU only? Almost 1.4 million work units CPU only let's gooooo https://apps.foldingathome.org/serverstats

Ah thanks much I don't think it shows on mobile however. Android chrome . Middle pick is regular mobile mode. However it does show on mobile on profile page. Well ty

Where can I view a badge that has been awarded to me? I saw a notification of pop up type but do not see it anywhere in my account?

Like.. Daniel Jackson did in SG1? Sweet have fun

Yup a bit less more like 230 but I have 17 more coming from Ebay.. Chrome Remote Desktop hasn't complained yet. List getting slow to populate however. My NEMA 14-50 is just about maxxed. @Bums_2 a NEMA 14-50 outlet in the garage i split into 120V circuits, i have 8x120v now 6 utilized i have maxxed it out. I have a fan to cool it just in case and concrete helps. Modern house, lots of circuits. Undervolting by rolling back BIOS to pre-PlunderVolt junk so Throttlestop works, -140mV ideal, has really helped noise and heat. has photos in description. Trick with Optiplexes is that you have to reset BIOS defaults after downgrading otherwise lock it still there. Prodesks/Elitedesks not needed. Too bad Folding is like .13MPPD per i5-8500 and Gridcoin Magnitude for Folding is thus junk too but they have plenty of biological work to do on BOINC for now unless SiDock and WCG dies. But I now have installed FAH on each Coffeelake, the older ones no. ProcessLasso configured to set affinity of FAH/BOINC to 0-2,3-5 cores or maybe i have that backwards. With all my BOINC projects there r like 10 executables Folding has 4 (0xa8 0xa9 0 x 22 0 x23)and i would have to check if they get renamed after updating occasionally. I would have to go thru each 1 and enable FAH then configure FAH and BOINC to use only 3 cores. Unless i go pure Folding. I'm happy with BOINC also in that it has a queue so all these being on WIFI they can sometimes be iffy, no biggie they submit on time and stay busy. Whereas Folding is more serial. PS: Chrome Remote Desktop has been rumored to be limited to 100 devices. It's 200+ I haven't reached the limit yet.

Happy Birthday! I wish Folding stats would show the drill-down of all the computers for a username like BOINC Do people sometimes do BOINC sprints for birthdays? Edit: Well, here are my PCs https://www.sidock.si/sidock/hosts_user.php?userid=6693

I just set ~15 of my Coffee Lakes Affinity so 3 cores are BOINC and 3 cores and FAH. Lessgooo. Is it top contributors get the prizes? GPU PPD site says i'd need about 170 i5-8500 Coffee Lakes to have the same as a 4090. That's a lot of mouse clicking! If anybody wants a guide on how to undervolt 6th-8th gen Intel SFF Optiplexes and Prodesks I'm your guy.

@LinusTech "Now in my home deployment, 5:34 I'll probably just use the CPU because 5:36 I'm going to have 24 epic cores 5:38 that are otherwise going to go unused." Folding@home and BOINC needs CPU cores as well not just GPU compute!

My Win10 farm.. 21H1. Windows updates disabled, permissions killed for wuauclt.exe and wuaueng.dll nuked permanently. Defender disabled (Sysinternals autoruns program in safe mode, uncheck 'windefend'). CPU time accrued by processes other than cruncher processes is very low

Sub 1000 watts from the wall after voltage conversion is very impressive with those lumens! Imagine if it was CFL backlit. My ~36" diagonal CFL uses 180w I measured. Curious how many theoretical lumens output from displaying a white screen on that TV in full brightness.. efficiency 80+ lumens/watt then accounting for loss through the layers?

So.. how did they put the TV in the truck in the first place?

I didn't know this until today, but despite the low PPD of CPU-core work, it is necessary work! There seems to be no Folding projects that can compute on GPU what they can compute on CPU, there is no crossover, apparently. So, CPU work is efficient because it is not coded for GPU at all. Apparently. https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=40949 (edit) 0x22 GPU 0x23 GPU , 0xa8 CPU 0xa9 CPU https://apps.foldingathome.org/serverstats

I'm In! I've diverted a few PCs towards CPU Folding , should be username; danwat1234_GRC_33c55b16c9b0fcc5446bc4e21803fec4

I hate plundervolt. Undervolting a great way to save energy. On Optiplex and Prodesk SFFs I can with 6-8th gen but 9th gen nope i assume because no BIOS version existed before plundervolt but I thought a modded BIOS could always get around it. There is a lock somewhere else too? I've seen Intel XTU use up a lot of clock cycles just sitting in the background. Throttlestop is more efficient in my experience. 23:30 May have taken so long to boot because of memory training been wiped? Edit: From Orion_'s post, sounds like CPU-level undervolt lock only exists on 12th gen that's weird..

Use polling mode, somehow 4:58 in; Good engineering. In my experience with our AMD-based NVMe storage server, I learned that AMD has a whole server/data center platform out there that, as far as I can tell, no one ever thought to go, hey, what happens if I light up all these PCIe lanes with data, and then actually load up the CPU at the same time? Turns out that the data gets retrieved so fast from that big flash array that, by the time the CPU comes back around to get it, it's gone. Ruh-roh. Wendell made an offhand comment to me that really stood out while we were troubleshooting the issue. I said to him, man, I never saw any of these kinds of stupid issues when we rolled our Intel all in DME storage server, and he goes, "Yeah, Intel's got fewer PCIe lanes, "and they're a generation behind, "but they put some really good engineering into them."

@LinusTech 200A 240V circuit is plenty hah! I have about 210 SFF boxes with integrated graphics crunching away on BOINC no problem. I have split my electric car charger circuit (NEMA 14-50) into 2x4 120V circuits, currently using 6 of them for the garage computers and can still charge my car at a slow 15A without tripping the 50A circuit. AC on at same time no worries. Cheers! I think it's somewhere around 12KW continuous drawn by all boxes. That includes a ridiculous Chia farm under a bed. And.. all these are getting internet via WIFI... granted they need very little bandwidth and occasional hiccups do occur especially if BOINC projects need to update the database file instead of just downloading/uploading work units, or a project goes down for some time causing data surge, but does not affect compute only takes a minute a day to keep busy. I can understand needing cable for gaming although your super duper Ubiquiti tech could probably handle it if no collisions. Using an XB8 comcast modem, a decent repeater of some kind in garage for 30 boxes only, and then a single tp-link deco mesh node to ease load on XB8. All WIFI except like 5 of them. Only 2.4 and 5GHZ WIFI 5, no 6GHZ biz. Perhaps this gives you another idea for heating the garage in the winter besides mounting the GPU stack under the desk this year. + 30 more in garage not seen in video on other side of freezer. https://www.sidock.si/sidock/hosts_user.php?sort=rpc_time&rev=1&show_all=1&userid=6693 list of boxes

You should use a throttled blowiematron fan for that AC adapter directly, no heatsink. Or maybe mount on the ground in concert with a fan because concrete is a decent heat sink. Edit: [ And possibly get a 2nd adapter and wire in parallel to distribute the load] As ScottJarriel6761 said on YouTube comment, getting a heatpump water heater would help reduce temperature and humidity!

@Emily Young How would one set up seamless browsing thru the Wayback machine? 12:00 SimpleText to speech was so annoying for the teachers at my school. Probably someone has made a web version of it

Now that Apple has the selfie cam under the display might we finally see the industry switch over so there will be plenty of choices?

Sooo That's why my ~1PiB Chia farm was so troublesome to set up. I thought device limit was 127 per controller with Depth of 5. But once i added 1 too many i would see drop outs and different on every power cycle. Seemed like a max of about 40 drives, 20 dual bays or so. So I ended up buy a Febsmart 1-controlller and a 4-controller card so it has a total of 6 USB controllers on a Dell SFF box, 8th gen Intel. Yes, internal PC just has 1 controller. I guess Febsmart doesn't have super duper Endpoint support. I think all my connections is a 7-port powered hub and then connecting more 7-port hubs from 1 of the first four ports of that hub so 1+1(or2 if using port 5+ on 2nd deep hub) + the device, so 4 deep, not issue. 91 devices, most of which are dual-bays. not sure how to get total tally of # of endpoints with that software.

It would be interesting to research how power efficiency of Intel/Nvidia would stack up to Apple if u undervolt or lower Turbos, something u have zero control over in M2 land AFAIK. Or AMD 7950x in 105w efficiency mode.
