Nothing new on the graphs, the In Progress is still headed Down; about a couple hours left, then my machines will be going cold...like the weather outside. |

Nothing new on the graphs, the In Progress is still headed Down; Even if they get the splitters fixed quickly, and they then split like never before, and maintain that level of output like never before, it's going to be a long and tough recovery. Grant Darwin NT |

I made it thru todays outrage but it looks like I will go dry this evening unless something gets fixed. . . I have about 3 to 5 hours for all machines to be empty. Considering it is after 9pm in Berkeley I guess the guys (computers) will get to sleep tonight... Stephen :( |

someone needs to give the splitters a (re-) boot in the bum... 0 WU ready to send and only .7584 WU per second created (with 0 WU available, that should be in the 49-50 range!) It's time to give your alternate projects some love... (IF they aren't also down [hello, GPUgrid?]) . Hello, from Albany, CA!... |

Splitters crashed shortly after the outage. It's time to give your alternate projects some love... (IF they aren't also down [hello, GPUgrid?])Yeah, only good news here is I finally got a config I'm happy with that lets Einstein take over when SETI goes sideways without having to dump a bunch of work when SETI resurfaces. |

I don't personally think so IMO maybe the project is in disarray after what happened at Arecibo, they would be still finding there feet one would imagine.. |

I bet it is the patches for Meltdown and Spectre that's the reason for the server slowdowns. If we're lucky. If not, it's the increased load (of all those short running GBT WUs) showing the present systems limits, and the patches will just make things even worse when they are applied. Present lack of work- most likely the server update that worked on Beta (after it was fixed for breaking the splitters there), broke the splitters here. Grant Darwin NT |

Currently, the server status page is in an inconsistent state vis a vis the splitters for BLC. It shows 14 splitters running, but 17 tapes being processed, one of which appears to have > 1 splitter associated with it. With all the things that have happened recently, I don't recall ever seeing ghost splitters before. Did I miss something? |

Yes. "Being processed" on the SSP means that work has started on that tape. But when the splitters are paused (e.g. for maintenance yesterday), or when new tapes are loaded, the tape selection mechanism sometimes picks a different tape for processing. So then the old tape goes into a 'waiting to run' state, such as we sometimes see on our BOINC Managers - except you can't see it on the SSP. Those are your ghosts: they are very common, even if you haven't noticed them before. And they're nothing to worry about - eventually the tape selection process will pick them out again and give them another go. |

Look's like after each servicing outage the project getting worse maladies ... |

Murphy`s Law. Nothing is so bad that can not get worse. |

Actually, Seti@Home is not much fun any more, with the outages, droughts, problems, speculations...and CreditScrew. Sorry about being so pessimistic, folks.... ;-) ...Ghia... Humans may rule the world...but bacteria run it... |

It was fun back in 2000 since my first account that I somehow lost access to it. Now it's about transitioning mankind to a new level of insight, awarness or identity. Will we setizens ever be allowed to know what our work reveals ? |

Actually, Seti@Home is not much fun any more, with the outages, droughts, problems, speculations...and CreditScrew. Well, you have to be optimistic when running Seti. That's what it's really all about. Being optimistic that we may find that proof we are all looking for. Meow! "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

Actually, Seti@Home is not much fun any more, with the outages, droughts, problems, speculations...and CreditScrew. I reluctantly admit to similar feelings. Though I'm not quite ready to jump ship yet, any other Space/SciFi/Alien projects that more or less provide 24-7 work with an interactive project staff? (and Linux GPU support) |

Actually, Seti@Home is not much fun any more, with the outages, droughts, problems, speculations...and CreditScrew. I second that. What prompted me to post this, was the sudden thought that if the project was a company reliant on revenue from customers, they would have been out of business a long time ago, Yes, I know the issue of funding is involved here...but I fear that is not the whole issue. I'm not quite ready to jump ship, either, I'm here of my own free will, as we all are, but to do this kind of 'voluntary work' there needs to be an element of fun or satisfaction involved, imho. Optimism for finding intelligent life "out there" is wearing thin right now. Humans may rule the world...but bacteria run it... |
