Yeah - we're good.  Pretty much the same peaks and valleys, per se.

Though I was surprised to see fewer dropouts/valley floors vs a couple of you.  CPU vs GPU job availability perhaps?

[WaldorfMan]

G'night all.  Time to hit the sack.  Thanks for the fun times on the thread tonight!

Had to bring that up, didn't ya?   

Haha, my dad got compared to Pee Wee Herman once, knighting or not you're doing fine.  Hell, this is the colonies, we don't recognize the old English monarchs anyway!

Yeah - my CPU gets more jobs than my GPU does for some reason.

Plus, this is my frustration lately... like a bad rollercoaster.  Is everyone else's stats showing like this?  Oh - but don't fret about Friday and Saturday... needed some gaming time.

 

I've been babying it a lot, clicking pause/fold when it goes idle.  It doesn't always work, but it seems to have helped.  Also having several PCs to help fill in the gaps.

I only let my RTX 2080 fold while I'm asleep as it brings Linux to its knees, it doesn't leave as much free GPU power for the OS as Windows does I believe.  I have however been letting my laptop with a GTX 1070 go 24/7 though.

Just shaved my head the other day since all the barbershops are closed.

I figure I'm going to have to buy myself a hair trimmer and just about buzz cut it off like I'm hearing about from social media.  This is one unforeseen consequence of this mess and not a pleasant one until I decide to own it, (likely) terrible mistakes and all.

Manscape still is honoring the discount from Tech Linked

Woo! The work servers have been at or above 100k/hr for most of the day from what I can tell.

apparently none of my workers are stuck since a couple of hours now ... I am curious on the next update if I will finally break 2.5 mil which should be my average for 3 hours of fold

I actually had to restart the full client once on one of my machines.  Nearly an hour of nothing for the GPU, restarted the client and instantly got a WU.

FINALLY a benefit to having no hair!

No it doesn't help me get WUs, but I don't need a barber.

Same here, been fed quite nicely

Ironically it likely does make me more vulnerable to the virus, as no nasal hair either so nothing to stop the direct path to my lungs.

I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.

I haven't been checking the WUs religiously but its definitely not been all Covid, saw Cancer and simulating myosins.

they did do 130K before we started hammering the servers though tbh.

MAKE IT SO!

[Alex Atkin UK]

Wish there was a WU history, would be fascinating to see how the project distribution is, especially if you could see how much is Covid related and how much other things.

As far I as I can tell, the log history wipes itself when the client restarts?

No, I have always given my computers car names and I just so happen to own a 2013 Turbo, but am looking at a 2020 VelosterN
