They run pretty well don't they even when they are left to their own devices Excuse the pun... lol

Haha. Unbuntu was randomly kicking me off of WiFi and I'd have to restart weekly. I guess one of the updates may have fixed that :toast:

I'm very lucky to have a networked house, when I move again, I'll be definitely doing the same thing

I'm borrowing* power from work, so I don't have much choice, only one CAT connection in my office.

*They've asked about the random computers in my office, and I gave them an honest answer. No mining, no torrenting (edit: no porn lol), no complaints

phill · Feb 13, 2020

No chance of putting an 8 way switch or something then??

It would be nice if I could keep the two servers going at work I have here, definitely wouldn't notice the power draw with the kit we have there, all to make juice!! lol Would be nice as well for them, in a nice air con'd room, would be lovely keeping them on 24/7

Could get some serious points too I think :laugh:

What do you do for a living @Sasqui if you don't mind me asking ?

@blobster21 !! :rockout:

There's our man again

Congrats mate on the next milestone, hopefully see you again tomorrow

blobster21 · Feb 14, 2020

in approximately 3 days (that's the length of my N days of work queue) i will have to cut down my WCG efforts, and i will be left with only 4 rigs still crunching datas.

I should be back to full strength around March 2.

I thought i would let you know

Shocking behavior sir!! But

I wonder what will happen around March 4th or 5th.........

blobster21 · Feb 16, 2020

I know Phill, i know !!

But i'm borrowing power on this school campus, so i have not much choice other than shutting down the computers when we're in vacation.

In fact, it's not even a matter of power, it's solely a matter of network communications not allowed during this 15 days period.

Most of our school campus have been heavily attacked during christmas break, some of them have been breached and we had to put importants servers offline to mitigate the multiples issues.

Consequently, any networking activity during this time will be considered as suspect , and i don't want to be the guy who tried to stay under the radar despite the recommendations made by our IT provider

@phill Civil Engineer by schooling. Worked over a decade as a software product designer/program manager (not coincidentally, on CAD and civil engineering software), now back in to managing the design of heavy construction projects and teaching CAD. We use the very software I worked on. IT runs a pretty tight ship where I am now, I don't even have admin rights on my own work laptop

Hence the crunching rig connected via WiFi. My office has it's own heating and AC duct.

Stoners for the 18th February 2020....

@phill !!! The man, the legend

Since You are very modest Yourself, I decided to shamelessly shout You out mate!

Thanks for Your contributions and keeping team going and motivated! :respect:

Expecting to see You soon! :laugh:

Gotta be shining example ,right :laugh:

It is amazing to me, how much of a difference companies can be when it comes to their IT policies.. I guess it's the world we live in now... It's scary to think that I have admin rights when it comes to work... Mind you, it's even worse at home, always end up blaming someone else but it never works when there's a problem...

I saw that random thing yesterday and when I grabbed the stats this morning at work I never saw it again and only just now I've seen myself on the table!! Crazy mate...

I'm definitely nout special (special needs and a special case maybe!! :laugh:

) but that's another story....
Thank you @Lorec for the lovely mention

If the sun comes out more, I'll hopefully be able to score a little higher if the solar panels have chance to work :laugh:

It's a bit dull and raining around here most of the time of late!!

I'll do my best sir

Great work man!!

blobster21 · Feb 20, 2020

Same time and place tomorrow??

Make no mistakes Phill, i will dissapear from the Milestoners list as soon as my crunchers stop claiming points for their past jobs. I'm at my wit's end :cry:

phill · Feb 20, 2020

I'd like to hazard a guess that in two weeks, you'll be flying along
