It's likely this site will become unavailable later today and for much of tomorrow (Sat 2 January 2021 - Sun 3 January 2021).

Data Center Power Shutdown

We will be performing an infrastructure enhancement over the weekend of Saturday, Jan. 2 and Sunday, Jan. 3, 2021 which will require a complete shutdown of our campus Data Center. This work is required to support the campus research mission by enabling new research systems and to provide improved resilience for these systems when running on generator power during campus power outages.
Systems will likely be down from 8 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 2 through 6 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 3 (times are estimated).
That's 16:00 UTC Saturday until 02:00 UTC Monday.

I am running their tasks and getting badges from Bronze to Ruby. The next ones should be Sapphire and Emerald, I believe. Why not Diamonds, which are a girl's best friends?

Today 1yr ago S@H stopped sending new work for us to crunch. Someone should host a party to mark the event.
I hope all have found new worthwhile projects to help.

I am running WorldCommunityGrid and getting a lot of Badges, from Bronze to Emerald so far. I hope to get some Diamonds in due time. IBM is good at marketing.

Yes, we are faithfully processing other Projects! But no other project is as seminal (!) as looking for alien civilizations! There is just a certain ineffable, dashing excellence about looking for LGM (E.T.) as a member of a giant superbly organized worldwide Terran Cognitive Network! seti@home shall return with even more amazingly efficient software on ever faster computing devices {in far greater numbers} to find those cute elusive little critters!

Today, after a long time, looked in again and what had my sad eyes read: it´s over!

Memories come back. How it all began, how I started with home-made computers that are now outbid by every cheap smartphone ... how exciting was the time at the beginning of the millennium. Films like "Contact" were very inspiring and motivated to take part in this great project.

I understand the reasons, but it still makes me sad that this era has now come to an end - for the time being?

Well, poop.

I swear I'm always the last one to find out about these things. I get why s@h was paused, but it's still a bummer. I've been a participant for over 20 years now, and I'm surprisingly rather sad that it's over now.

Oh, well. I guess I'll have to find a new screensaver now...

I class this as the biggest con in the history of computing. They took our processor time, interest and enthusiasm, and I call it exploitation pure and simple. They even blagged money off us, overall appalling.

From the beginning, they advised that no findings were possible, there are no con here. All the computations made were to a try on finding signals.

I understand the dissapointment (it would be preferable a detection than a non-detection). I suggest you to support other projects that are producing results right now, such as Einstein@home or Rosetta@home, instead of others without a granted outcome.

Did you even read the opening post (or was it beyond your understanding)?
