TPU's WCG/BOINC Team

It's been right around mid 80's here. About 70 in the basement where my rigs are so all is good.

my nephews room is in my basement, and its Pretty damn cold, perfect for PC life ;)
an apt i lived in years ago was in the Basement of a house, and God i loved it in the Summer.

luckily my PC's have not been phased by the high temps of late, Central air keeps it nice in here regardless of the outdoor conditions. its a must for me due to a respiratory issue, which also makes it nice for PC's that are crunching ;)
 
In the 70's here with lows in the upper 50's :)

Not a big deal for me since the only rig I have running at home atm is the 2600k one that's been running on the Kreij memorial account. I have 64 cores/80 threads running at assorted work sites :pimp: :D
 
Yep, it hit 92 here today! I got home about 3 hours ago to a scalding hot computer room upstairs.

Have one of them little window air conditioners so stuck that in. It has already made one heck of a difference. Probably down to the mid 70's in this room now and still well above 80 outside.
 
@Norton is right, its been JUST shy of cold in the northeast for the past 48 hours.

When i wake up, 4:30am, it was 45-50F here in massachusetts.
but it was upper 80's for the week prior.

And a damn bear stole my bird feeder, and what ill guess was 3 or so dollars in bird seed.
Nothing else strong enuff to bend a solid inch of wrought iron bar like it was a bendy straw.

Im definitely gonna leave him a bad feedback on heatware/bear.com ;)

Today was another day with thunderstorms. Next week is supposed to be nicer, but these storms are wreaking havoc on my work :cry:

At least the rigs are going :laugh:
 
Has anyone else run out of W.U.s?

I'm running a few different projects and the only one not giving me new tasks is WCG.
I've tried update and reset yet I get nothing, I just finished the last WU this morning.
I haven't changed any settings since the challenge and there are no errors in returned units.
 
I have a ton of Zika WUs on my work PC. Might double check your selected projects to make sure you have an active project checked.
 
Yep, they are all still checked, no settings changed.

I somehow hit "no new tasks" onetime. Might want to check that. (BOINC Manager, under the Projects tab)

Wasn't that.
During the challenge I stopped tasks for the other two projects and re enabled them after, that is when WCG stopped.
I just stopped tasks to them again and WCG downloaded new WU's, so the Boinc manager caused a conflict for some reason, first time that has happened.
Hopefully it will continue working now, i'll find out if it runs out again.
 
We had a power failure this morning in the town where 3 of my rigs are located. I got 2 of them running again w/o issue but unfortunately I forgot about the 3rd one and may have to wait until Monday to get to that one :(

Monday is better than Noneday :laugh: :roll: What caused the power outage, storm?

Not sure- that area gets them from time to time and mostly in the summer. Thinking the overall grid for the town is weak and the summer load puts a lot of stress on it (summer population goes up around 400% there).
 
I'm getting real tired of dealing with this HST project. Yet again, i come to find one of my pc's completely out of work. :shadedshu:

Not sure why there are times when HST wus die off, but it's happened to me like 3 times when running that project exclusively on a pc. I'm done with it for a little while, at least til it's more dependable... that is running it exclusively.
 
I get the zika and TBC work only once in a while. Mind you, I am down to one core for the moment (when it comes to BOINC).
 
I like Oz. On Linux. Reminds me of OET's.
 
Is anybody back to using TeamViewer since the hack? I haven't used it since, but I hate not being able to remote into the pcs from my phone. Think TeamViewer is safe again?

Or alternatively, any similar utilities are welcomed, so long as they can be run from mobile android. ;)

i THINK it was a temporary compromise of security in which the "hacker(s)" stole passwords to users instances of TV. but dont quote me on that,
also there are alternatives, unless you prefer TV.

Well I have enjoyed TV (took me a second to realize what TV stood for, not cable tv lol) since it's been so lightweight and easy, and I log in via my phone or tablet. However, I am open to alternatives so please feel free to recommend something.

iirc, logmein is the better of the alternatives there. Scammers Choice :)
