Then use it instead of disposing of it.

Something often suggested by those who say nuclear power is the answer to global warming. None of them seem to be able to point to a design that anyone is prepared to build.

It's people making a mountain out of a molehill: https://www.world-nuclear.org/nuclear-essentials/what-is-nuclear-waste-and-what-do-we-do-with-it.aspx

The ocean and plantlife does that for us.

But not as quickly as we are producing it as numerous scientific papers have demonstrated.

If I was a farmer I would welcome faster growing crops. And that's what we'll get. It may not happen instantly, but it will happen. There could be a delay, but the more CO2 we make, the faster things will start growing. Did you know we only have trees because they evolved to deal with a lack of CO2?

Look at it from the other point of view. What if we had a fraction of a % of O2 to breathe, and plants started making O2 polluting factories, we'd love it!

"NASA declares carbon dioxide is GREENING the Earth
In direct contradiction to the scare stories about carbon dioxide being relentlessly pushed by the climate change alarmists, a scientific study published in Nature Climate Change and highlighted by NASA reveals that rising carbon dioxide levels are having a tremendously positive impact on the re-greening of planet Earth over the last three decades, with some regions experiencing over a 50% increase in plant life."

It's confirmation you did it correctly.

Hey it's a miracle anything works here, I can't have an avatar, my stats only get updated weekly, and the tasks have countless problems.

What really annoys me is my slowest machine is the only one which didn't crash the tasks! Maybe that's the secret, don't hurry the calculations?

I could speed it up with yet another RAM stick, but I'm saving up for an off-grid property. Solar powering 8 computers is going to be interesting.

And so it goes. [lit ref non -]

Time to buy a lottery ticket :-)

When your PC reboots faster than your router.

Indeed.

And when everything depends on the router (DHCP, VOIP landline, even the central heating controls)
And the telco firmly states that only their own routers are guaranteed to handle all of the above...

It's a bad single point of failure.

It's a bad single point of failure.

My IP connection is Verizon's FiOS fiber optic. It has an interface on the side of my house that converts from fiber to CAT 5 (?) copper that goes to my router. It gets its power from a small UPS.

My router is a big box right next to my main (Linux) computer. It, too, is plugged into a moderately large UPS that mainly runs my main computer. It will run 10 to 12 minutes during a power loss.

However I have a backup generator outside my house that uses natural gas as a fuel. If the power company does not do its duty, my backup generator will come on and deliver power within 10 to 12 seconds as long as the gas company, whose lines are buried in the ground, does its duty.

My pipsqueak computer is running Windows 11 and is plugged into a smaller UPS that says it can power the computer for a little over an hour. So the main annoyance is the occasional reboot when Windows decides to reboot during its updates that won't wait. And nothing can protect against the faults of Microsoft.

Some tasks were sent out as batch 995. This was a mistake. The correct batch is 1019. If you have a task from 995 it can be aborted. Don't waste time running it as the results are not needed. It's an previously run batch.

Dang it, I saw this post but didn't think to check my machine until today, several days later. All five new tasks that I caught are 995. All the others are already distributed so I guess I'll have to wait for the next batch.

Just got a resent task from batch 1006 eas25 win-8.29
It is from February, still useful to run?
(was thinking of shutting the box down...)

Ok sorry, will turn off the undervolting and see how fast it can run, heh heh :-)

If the batch was of no use, the resends would have been turned off. But it's your machine and if you want it off, feel free to Abort.

Good t know that is the case now. Not at all sure it was in the days of 1 year deadlines.

True, though that would be my preferred way of doing it. The other alternative is a push notice to the BOINC Manager notices tab.

On my main (Linux) machine, I cannot look at the notices tab. If I select it, the boinc manager crashes. (The boinc client does not crash when this happens). My client is 7.20.2 which is the most recent one for my Linux distribution. This used to work but has started to fail recently. I forget just when.

I am not expecting a solution for this problem here; asking for a solution here is way off topic. But for me, any reliance on Notices is futile.

Supporting BOINC, a great concept !

Might well be worth trying. I am guessing the Fedora instructions would work.

Trouble is, that is for some version of Ubuntu whereas I am running

Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.10 (Ootpa)

And for that I must go to https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/8/Everything/x86_64/Packages/. The Boinc stuff is under /b
