I saw a review for Ortho Weed AND GRASS Killer Ground Clear complaining that it killed their grass. Not only is it in the name, but it has a warning on the label, "WARNING: KILLS GRASS".

While they keep the OS and change the paint job, they will also completely change how every administration task is completed, wasting untold millions of hours of prior training and experience.

So they can sell new training and certification.

One of those certain people show "zero tasks returned today" for the last several days that I've checked.

I have recovered many tasks from failed machines.

1). Create or select a healthy machine.
2). Make sure it is signed up to the project.
3) Edit client_state.xml and change it's hostid to that of the failed machine.
4) Change it's rpc count to that of the failed machine.
5) Start the client.
6) Carry out the ghost recovery procedure.

You do have to make sure the base architectures match. You can't move ARM units to an Intel this way, but you can move Windows on Intel to Linux on AMD.

FWIW.

Just returned my last unit. All zeros in my task list now.

Also, the data phase has been 20 years long. Will it really help things to swing a hammer around in hopes of reducing the taper from 6 weeks to 4?

Yes, I was pretty upset to have a lot of ghosts and *really* didn't want everyone to have to wait for them to time out. It's only about 150, but still...

Looks like I got about 40 units today not counting my ghosts. If I can keep up that rate and I don't have a lot of noisy units I might make 76M.

None of my ghosts were from AV. But through manual methods they have all been recovered. The effort sure made a mess of my hosts screen, but at least all the work is serviced.

I managed to get all my ghosts cleared.

All my real machines are dry.

The Raspberry cluster still has quite a lot of work. Plodding away. Days left. I think the work estimator wasn't very accurate filling a "10 day" cache.

My 25 node Raspberry cluster is still full up. It has a RAC of about 12,000. All my fast machines have been empty for days with the odd resend, but those get processed within minutes so I don't even get to appreciate them while they run.

I'm putting most of my work towards Distributed.Net. They were up and running 2 years before Seti@home. They support CPU and GPU, and the resource footprint is microscopic, except of course the cycles. But it is about Crypto Freedom and research math.

I still have about 6500 units split over about 50 normal computers. I think the only people having trouble are the people with hosts that have a per host RAC of 100,000 or more. I'd say those people already had their bang.

I think the older version can't speak the correct version of TLS to successfully connect to the servers. Only hope for those machines is to get a newer BOINC version working on them. I had some trouble with this bringing some old gear online so I could hopefully reach a milestone before the end.

It's been a great project. Thanks staff. Thanks volunteers.

I'm taking my cycles to distributed.net as soon as work is finished here.


Next 20
