@stfn@fosstodon.orgI changed the email of all of my #BOINC projects from GMail to Tuta. Another step in #degoogling but it looks like it broke the BOINCStats page. Oh well, maybe it will sort itself out
#BOINC nightly build is now available as a #Snapcraft package in the 'edge' channel of @Canonical #SnapStore: https://snapcraft.io/boinc

@stfn@fosstodon.orgYesterday was @einsteinathome 20th anniversary!
Einstein@Home is a #BOINC project, and to quote their announcement, so far they have achieved:
"We have discovered more than 90 new radio and gamma ray pulsars, including a number of extreme and exotic examples. The project has resulted in 38 peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals, and has also played a role in a dozen PhD theses."
You can also join E@H by providing your computing power!

Is there any shared computing like #boinc for Sparc or MacPPC (Apple PowerPC)?
That you have had any experience with?

My #sunmicrosystems #sunfire and #powermacs generate a lot of heat. so lets give them something todo
@stfn@fosstodon.orgLooks like there will be a new project for World Community Grid, with GPU support
@photovince@mastodon.socialIs #BOINC dead? I know SETI@Home is in suspended animation, but I tried two other projects and one’s servers seem offline and the other has no work packages…
Not wanting to try them all… is there any other distributed parallel computing platform that I can use to put my computer in room warming mode?

@stfn@fosstodon.orgNew blog post!
In which I show how I am powering a typical 120mm PC case fan from a USB port to quietly cool my Raspberry Pi cluster.
CW: bad soldering skills

@stfn@fosstodon.orgNew blog post!
In which I answer the question that many homelabbers have: "How much electricity is my home server using?"
The short answer is 70W at idle. The long answer? It's in the blog post. And again BOINC shows up.
From social media posts I wrote for my employer at https://www.linkedin.com/posts/unit42_kongtuke-boinc-activity-7284986403476717568-InKv/ and https://x.com/Unit42_Intel/status/1879220778173870556
2025-01-13 (Monday): Legitimate websites infected with #KongTuke script present "verify you are human" pages that ask victims to paste PowerShell script into a Run window. Lately, this has led to infections abusing the #BOINC platform. More info at: https://bit.ly/3DU2H2R
A #pcap from an example of the infection traffic and the associated files/artifacts are available at https://www.malware-traffic-analysis.net/2025/01/13/index.html
@stfn@fosstodon.orgNew blog post!
This time I'm talking about my Raspberry Pi cluster, and there's a bit of everything, Kubernetes, Ansible, BOINC, all that magic.

It's cold out, maybe it's time to install #BOINC again.
@stfn@fosstodon.orgI would love to use that 5090 for something useful, like #BOINC
@stfn@fosstodon.orgAs for Einstein, I am crunching the All Sky Gravitational Wave search, and a single task is taking 45 minutes on my RTX2060. #BOINC
@stfn@fosstodon.org#BOINC update
Crunching @einsteinathome on the GPU, and Gaia@Home on the CPU.
If I can figure out mount points I'll have Void Linux set up on Theseus I, finally. Shall task it with amicable numbers, which need lots of room. Up to 10^213.0 (mt)!
BOINC Census 2024 is available! You can fill it here:
https://forms.fillout.com/t/m4ZSkCQMGAus
This form will close on the 2025-01-26.
Please share with everyone interested in #BOINC, #DistributedComputing, #GridComputing, #CitizenScience
Made with Fillout, the best way to make forms, surveys…
BOINC Census 2024As it happened I set up Einstein@Home one day, SR Bases the next day, and Amicable Numbers the day after that. I like the way each graph line starts.
