It seems that Free-DC is back up and running, normal results should be happening tomorrow and on

Sounds like the guy supporting it had some massive works to do on it, so hopefully it's all sorted out now

Hats off to him

thebluebumblebee · Dec 8, 2018

Free DC is back!

phill · Dec 9, 2018

I wonder for how long!!

thebluebumblebee · Dec 9, 2018

From the dates for the milestones, I'd say the 6th.

phill · Dec 10, 2018

I wonder if the person/s hosting the site could do with an upgrade of some sorts?

phill · Dec 16, 2018

All the updates up to scratch now for Friday and Saturdays crunching... Been away with my daughter and girl friend, so apologises for the delay

stinger608 · Dec 16, 2018

My numbers will be going waaaaaaaaaay down in the near future. I'm moving in the next couple of weeks and won't have the space to run more than 1 full time system.

The wife and I are selling tons of stuff and moving into a pretty small place in order to save bucks over the next year and half to ready for retirement. I'll be retiring in March of 2020 and the wife shortly after that.

Just purchased our "home" for after retirement.

It needs just a little work but the interior is in near perfect condition.

4x4n · Dec 16, 2018

Congrats on the retirement plan stinger, hoping to be doing the same in a few years myself. :toast:

Sorry for the lack in production lately guys, I've been working crazy hours and just moved. I got my main ryzen rig going a few days ago and just today was able to get the Xeon rig back up and crunching. Should be back to eating pie soon.

phill · Dec 17, 2018

I bet your both looking forward to retirement, I am myself but then I've got a few more years left to go sadly!! lol

The Crunching will still be here whenever you're ready and wanting some

Take it easy guys!!

If you come out to the PNW, let me know and I can be your "guide".

Completely overhauled my neglected VM Environment (ignore the warnings and alarms in the second screenshot as I haven't suppressed the CPU Usage alarms). Servers were sitting idle for too long and now that the weather is cold, I am dialing it up. Crunchy and Penny are brand new CentOS7 VM's and old reliable Wilson is an i7 3770k I rescued from the recycle pile. BoincTasks is good but quite difficult to set up. I was pulling my hair out getting deep into cfg files and the cc_config.xml to try to get it to talk to my hosts. Turns out I failed to realize firewalld was blocking the communication.

phill · Dec 30, 2018

@Boatvan what VM software version are you using there?? Is that the newer 6.5 or 6.7??

Guys I was just wondering if I could run something by you all.. The Free-DC site I was wondering if anyone had noticed or if I'd managed to do something to the view of it, but I seem to be missing a column from it, it used to say Icon?? As see below -

It's nothing major at all in fact quite minor but I was wondering if anyone else had had this difference/change as well?? I think it's only happened in the last few days so I can't believe it's been like it for long... Just wondered if you'd noticed at all...?
As I can only see a screen shot from August with it on at the moment... :banghead:

Boatvan · Dec 30, 2018

@phill my server CPU's only support up to 6.5. I have no complaints with it but it would be cool to play with 6.7.

As for freedc, I too am missing that column. After the latest downtime, there seemed to be a slight UI change for me. But yeah, the icon column is missing for me too.

Ah, see I'm on the slightly older X58 era of CPUs and the Dell servers I have only support up to version 6

I'm pretty sure the difference between 6.0 and 6.5 isn't massive apart from the fact that they took away the standalone program and stuffed it in a web based version which from the little I've used and the fact we've had issues with it at work (had a call out some time ago and the web based browsers stopped us making changes as things didn't work!!) which I'd consider a bit of a U turn with.. Rather sad I thought

Still, I'm keeping my eyes open on a few newer servers at work (some R720's) so I'm hoping I'll be able to bring some of these home as well

The R610's and the R710's have are great fun to play with but man they love the electric! lol

Oh thank god about the Free-DC missing out the column.. I thought I had broke something :laugh:

Thank you for checking @Boatvan

thebluebumblebee · Dec 31, 2018

Got a few beta's. My 3220T took 12 hours to finish one for a grand total of 290 points, or 24 PPH!

Arjai · Jan 2, 2019

OK! I have T3500-3 up and running, for a few hours now. I just now got SlimJet on here. I am running Lubuntu 18.04. After trying, and failing, 18.10 a few times, I did 18.04. Seems 18.10 still has a few quirks to it and I did not want to spend all night figuring them out.

So, Onward and Upward!! Top 10, here I come!!

About to take the coveted 50th in total points spot for our team. Page 1 of results here I come!

phill · Jan 8, 2019

Friendly reminder!!

Don't forget guys, the servers will shut down on the 8th and no work will be available.. Best store it up for a few days!!

I'm sure everyone does anyways, but...

Just thought I'd mention it

Guys how can I do a search on a piece of hardware (CPU) for comparison sake using Free-DC or boincstats? I'm just hoping I can find some numbers on a few CPUs but the site seems impossible to find anything at 1:15am, so I'm off to bed! lol If someone could advise me how to find, I'll see if I can get a comparison done

The best you can do is to use this LINK and find it. It is in an alphabetic order, sort off.

Thank you sir

It's a right mess isn't it when you want to look for something!!

I'm also trying to do a comparison between Windows Server and Linux, I do believe Linux is more efficient than Windows judging by the scores the Ryzen's put out... I would really like to see whether or not either site has a better way of searching the data.. There's so much of it tho
