Joining Team Ukraine to show support?

[SystemViper]

Hi everyone in the WCG community.
got some downtime

We over at XtemeSystems are joining the Ukraine team on some of their BOINC projects.
This is the best way we can find to show our support for a sovereign country that was invaded by an another country
and doing it NOW and where it can be seen.
We are seeing asking if anyone is as frustrated as we are. This is a way
to show what we believe in, we do it every day with the projects we select.

DC is about supporting what you believe in, it's personal, it costs us
so why not show our support for country that did not ask for war but it's people are getting killed as we speak.

It's not about POLITICS it about caring for humanity and that is what DC is all about!

Since most of us have no ability to help them fight the Russians militarily,
this is one of the ways some of us are able to show show support for the Ukraine,
this is about support, it's what we do on DC every day.

We know this is a personal choice but we wanted to tell the community that this is
going on and if you wanna put your computers to work to show support,
this is a way you can. It makes me feel good to do this but it's not
for everyone.

Here is there BOINC project team list:
https://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=teammain&team=Ukraine
Here is our thread
https://xs4s.org/index.php?topic=30190.msg95387#msg95387

It's a small act in the realm of reality of what is happening, but something to show support at least.
Thanks for any support and if anyone has accounts on other forums,
please feel free to post a thread there as well to gather support.

(If this is out of line or anything then the mods can delete or whatever.)

Thank you,
SystemViper

Thank you,

I will give you a hint, free of charge.
People which hide their ID and their location, they are not to be trusted.
Use YouTube like everyone else.

 

[SystemViper]

Hi, not sure about the YouTube comment.
Most people know me here, but thanks for your opinion.
this is a personal choice and we just wanted to let the community know that
if they wanted to support Ukraine this is one way they can.

Thanks

It's not about POLITICS it about caring for humanity and that is what DC is all about!

I was just scrolling through some recent pictures of Ukraine, seeing homeless girl in her 20's clutching a dog, middle aged balding man clutching a cat, middle aged lady bloodied face all torn to hell, little kids staring out their windows...

These old men playing fucking geopolitical games while they sit at a comfy desk is quite sickening.

I wish I had a system capable of contributing to this BOINC effort, my 7820HK overheats like a mofo though as the heatsink doesn't fully touch the cpu and there is no way to fix it as I stripped the screws a long time ago.

Hi,
Unfortunately symbolic gestures don't stop real hardware otherwise sanctions would work.

I love to see the full support for the Team Ukraine and the efforts already initiated by XtemeSystems. In this effort and mindset it is my hope that we through the White House would get ASAP with our many allies in Europe and engaging the neutral nations of Switzerland, Finland, Sweden and the Vatican to funding and dispatching a force of a few thousand 'non-armed' peacekeepers (human rights teams with resources) to establish a large neutral or refuge zone within the Ukraine as a collective investment in global peace. Naturally with the mandated priorities to protect civilians, children and protecting against conflict-related violence, needs for food, shelter, medical and finally a claim to their human rights. Let’s please hear some voices and support to do something like this in reality, not with politics.

 

[SystemViper]

I Don't think anyone here has those kind of connections? But we all have our own wishes.

This is about community support.
This isn't even about the amount of points you contribute or positions taken, but the action that it shows!
The more members from outside Ukraine joining "National Team of Ukraine"
From around the World joining, That matters, It represents community support.

Just a thought.
Steve

 

[95Viper]

Let's keep it on topic.
And, stop the political/geopolitical posting.
Thank You.

 

[SystemViper]

Hi, Today i'm happy to report that support is growing.

Disclaimer: This is a personal choice, don't feel like you have to show your support this way. We have posted some other ways to support Ukraine in other ways. This is about National Team of Ukraine visibility and community support. Imagine seeing members from all over the community and the world crunching on their team. It isn't about the amount of points you contribute or positions taken, but the action that it shows! The more members from outside Ukraine joining "National Team of Ukraine" from around the World joining, That matters, It represents community support.

The National Team of Ukraine is up to 3rd in the daily numbers for both projects

Here is our thread https://xs4s.org/index.php?topic=30190.msg95506#msg95506

The 2 main projects are...

This seems to be taking off, we appreciate any comments or suggestions.

My Motivation - SystemViper
I was looking for a way to support Ukraine and a team member came up with this idea. I am a 2ng generation American and my great grandparents come from Poland and Czechoslovakia. This is not only very rewarding but personal.

Thanks for your support
SV

***Quick note to those who are adding MLC - it looks like you need to enable stats exports of you want them available

The National Team Of Ukraine has reached #1 on MLC and #2 on PrimeGrid in daily points

I received this message from a Ukraine Citizen.it made me feel good, figured I'd share.

Thanks you guys for doing this! We see support from all over the world in all possible ways
: military, financial, political, humanitarian, crypto, BOINC etc

 

[SystemViper]

Hi Tom, Your opinion is appreciated, you can't mention Ukraine and not have some political feelings.
We can't control our governments but we can control where and what wee do with our crunchers.
My main goal is to to drive DC community support by crunching for National team of Ukraine.

But how much of a different is carrying a banner on a busy street corner than showing visible support
for Ukraine by gathering DC community support and crunching for the National team of Ukraine?

The reason this is on my mind is I keep getting from PM's and posts:
"This does nothing"
"Why not support with Money"
"Why not Mine crypto for them"
so I'm struggling to make the difference between support here in the DC community and support where I live.

This is a personal decision.

Respect
Steve

Let's keep it on topic.
And, stop the political/geopolitical posting.
Thank You.

Folks,
I would like for this thread to stay open, but we must abide by the guidelines. If we cannot, the thread will be closed. I will do what I can to moderate this thread though.
Carry on!

 

[Ahhzz]

So guys, the decision has been made to leave this thread open, for now, due to the benefits of the exposure. But there will be some very strict guidelines applied. This is absolutely a no politics thread. Post up your thoughts on the initiative, post up your support, or if you absolutely must, politely post up your opposition to it, preferably with a reasonably thought out reason. But absolutely do not post up "Russia Sucks", "This is the US's Fault!" or "Did you see what those soldiers did this time?!!??" This is not the thread for it. There will be no future warnings. There will be reply bans and deletions for "incidental" postings. Anyone blatantly ignoring the "No Politics" warning with something stupid like "This is my last political statement in this thread" will get Stupid Points. For being Stupid.

Simple rules for this one, people. Most of us believe this is an excellent use of time, effort, energy. Not saying we're right, just saying that's the way the wind's blowing. You can disagree with it all you'd like, respectfully, but start pissing in the wind, and there may be additional consequences besides getting wet.

Thanks everyone, and a special thanks to those involved in the project.

There have already been 3 friendly warnings from mods in this thread.

Ukraine is a sensitive and ongoing issue, but TPU is a tech forum with guidelines, not a free-for-all venue for political opinions. This thread is specifically about showing your support by joining the WCG team and WCG-related discussion - for those that need a reminder, please take a look at the header at the top of the page that indicates the subforum this thread is in. Read before you start complaining that your freedoms are being muzzled.

As a refresher:

Reporting and complaining

• If you disagree with moderator actions contact them via PM, if you can't solve the issue with the moderator in question contact a super moderator.
  • Under no circumstances should you start public drama.

 

[SystemViper]

I going to keep with National team of Ukraine and crunch the FB and see what happens.

Just feels right, god willing there is peace soon.

Formula Boinc held its first sprint of 2022 this weekend.
03/17/2022 20:00 (UTC) - 03/20/2022 19:59 (UTC) - SRBase
XS post link - https://xs4s.org/index.php?topic=30190.msg95861#msg95861

Team Ukraine took 1st over the 3 day event marking DC support for Ukraine by many members.
This was not expected but the community has shown its support in a big way for Team Ukraine (DC) members
plus trying to raise awareness of the tragedy going on in the Ukraine by the Russian army invading/making war on the people of Ukraine.

***This is only one way to show support for Ukraine, but this represents the DC community's support with our computers.
This is a personal decision and not the only one that the DC community is showing.

Shout out to @Norton01


Hey, been dealing with a death in my orbit, very close friends lovely wife.
Haven't felt like posting but since there is another sprint starting Vsoon I
figured I'd post.

The FB sprint will be starting @ 04/07/2022 13:00 (UTC)

I have to say that the support of the DC community has been overwhelming.
Choosing to crunch plus supporting Ukraine in many other ways.
Originally we just wanted to show our support by crunching for Team Ukraine
but from the look of it, today, Team Ukraine is rocking the FB.

2nd in the Sprints (with another starting very soon)
6th in the marathon
6th overall

It just feels good!

Here is links to the FB and to the sprint.
