Well, Nvidia have announced their new hardware.
Now i'm waiting for some reviews to see just how they actually perform.

Hi Keith,
I would much rather stay away from ANYTHING Google. I don't like their politics, or their spying, or their data stealing, etc., etc. I use DuckDuckGo for my search engine. I haven't used Google search in over a year. I won't use it, no matter what. I don't use any computer outside my house. Yeah, I know, my cell phone is Google, but I hate Apple even more. ;)
Have a great day! :)
Siran

. . Ahhh, a man after my own heart .... dislike Google, hate Apple ... :)

LOL

For alternative Linux browsers, try Brave and Vivaldi.

Hi Siran, long time no type too. Since Canonical went to a Snap based distribution of Chromium in Ubuntu 20.04 and Mint 20.04 said no-way, hell no . . . . to ANY Snap apps, Mint 20 does not have access to Chromium.

However you can still install the latest Chrome browser with a direct download of the deb package from Google.

Personally, I'm a little leery of the tie-in to Google with some of the Chrome features. Just one example is the default use of the Google DNS unless you know to change that...

Meanwhile, Firefox is a good feature rich alternative...


Keep searchin',
Martin

In Linux, you have ClamAV as a anti-virus application. In most distro software catalogs as far as I know.

Warning!

. . I was using Avast as my virus checker and everything has been very well for the last 4 years, but since it's last update several days ago it has taken a dislike to boinc.exe. I have tried to get it to see boinc.exe as an exception but it won't take and it continues to kill boinc.exe and manager, so in the end I had to remove it and go to another checker. The reason it gives for the antagonism to boinc.exe is "behaviour problem".

. . So just in case others are running Windows and relying on Avast keep an eye on it.

Greetings,

I do believe that the SSP is stuck again. It is stuck on yesterday, June 16th. No update since.

Have a great day! :)

Ghia, that works for Windows, for Linux do:

The procedure that worked for me on Ubuntu 18.04.4:
(1) Download this file: https://crt.sh/?d=1720081
(2) Place "1720081.crt" in Home directory (e.g., move from desktop)
(3) sudo mv 1720081.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates
(4) sudo update-ca-certificates

Worked for my Mint.

Hi Siran, I didn't bother to do any bunkering or anything before the work finished. I just moved on to other projects. Yes, I was up near the top when there was work, but falling rapidly now. Computers aren't even visible at the project anymore since they haven't contacted the project for over 30 days.

If you are concerned about your positional standings, don't go looking at Boincstats if your computers haven't exported a single task credit in over 60 days. All your host credits will disappear shortly. That is how Willy has configured BoincStats. So expect a tremendous plummet in your standings.

438 valid still, all other categories zero. Does anyone have any pending or inconclusive, or have we finished?

State: All (886) · In progress (0) · Validation pending (0) · Validation inconclusive (0) · Valid (883) · Invalid (1) · Error (2)

My last "validate error" will be cleared in around 3.5hrs. :-)

Other than that I still have 377 valid tasks that were validated a month or so ago waiting on unnescessary additional wingmen to either finish, timeout or to get through their glut of hoarded tasks. :-(

Cheers.

I just noticed that there could still be WU's In Progress one month before my personal 21st anniversary. I wonder if there will still be any at the end of August :)
