Post: Well, sometimes if my brain wasn't in my skull, I'd forget it somewhere... All I had to do is Add Project in the VM and use BOINC's new account option on the correct URL and what Google? There's no Google sniffer here! Had to change the account name from Administrator to marmot later but; no probs. |

reCaptcha dilemma ODLK2025

Post: OLDK2025 wants to give cookies identifying me, creating an account, to Google. Pretty sure I haven't had to do this before but maybe my remembrance is flawed. https://ibb.co/0tdQCkv Been very careful to avoid data mining of my internet habits by Google. Our browsers can be uniquely fingerprinted (https://ibb.co/drRX2d1 ) and even if I use a VPN to another country they'll still know it's me. Does Google reCaptcha detect my chosen name, email address in the creation box? I don't believe so but they will add to their compiled data about my browser fingerprint that, I use BOINC, and this website I connected to. (I have tried to use scriptsafe and work on the unique attributes of this laptop to make my browser fingerprint not unique, but have failed. Only solution would maybe to install a very generic, Windows version in a VM that doesn't leak local machine attributes but that strange install on a VM will probably make it 'unique',*sigh*) Solution? I'm going to browse from a Windows 10 server to sign up. It might be a unique browser fingerprint but it will be something Google reCaptch never saw before and an unknown quantity. Then I can unplug the modem and get a new IP address before using my laptop again. Why? https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/privacy/ |

Goofy Grid accounts lost
(Message 11135)
Posted 21 Dec 2024 by marmot
Post: Server does not know my email address. Was wondering if any old accounts survived and didn't see a discussion of that on Goofy boards or here. EDIT: Looks like Conan, Coleslaw and others all joined on June 22, 2024 and the total credit from visible computers all seem to be amounts like what 10 per hour since June would acquire. So guessing its a complete fresh start. There is an invite code now: zaproszenie |

Linux project advise/questions
(Message 11083)
Posted 4 Dec 2024 by marmot
Post: The server I custom built last spring is on Windows 10 stripped down build. Linux subsystem fails (but it has minimal services and maximal RAM available, even the DWM is off). The GPU Coprocs I bought are Linux only (unless I reflash the BIOS which is risky). I stay on Windows primarily for the Tech PowerUP power managing app which allows TPL wattage control and undervolting. Allows me to adjust the heat put off by the servers and thus the house temp. Is there a Linux app that does the same intricate core power management? Is there a Linux version that would properly run that specific Windows app? Since this server is 2x 2650L Xeon V4's (got a great price) maxing out at 65W; I could just install Linus version and let them run full bore all winter and dual boot into Windows to run CPU only apps at 20W each into June. I bought these 3x MI25's cheap, 3d printed cooing cowlings, a dual CPU MB that can connect to 4x GPU's and a case that can mount all 4 so I can play around with Chat GPT training. That was last October and life has been hard since and they sit in their shipping box. It'd be nice to finish this project. Maybe I need to find a hobbiest reddit? My highschool buddy and I used to build these things together but our politics diverged. :( |

GPU suggestions?
(Message 10517)
Posted 5 Mar 2024 by marmot
Post: My expenditures went into CPU cores last winter and this winter other expenses are taking my BOINC hardware budget. SiDock suggested they might start working on protein models of a Corona virus, that has not jumped to humans yet, that is causing havoc in pig farming; deaths to extreme diarrhea. So I'm content with the CPU cores path (also the efficiency of GPU's has some projects years ahead in data and shutting down some GPU WU's). Please offer me a suggestion for the lowest cost NVidia card that can actually run these as my 1060 only has 3GB. It seems 8GB VRAM might not be enough, IDK.

Post: It's a dead project for many years now. Remove the project from your BOINC app. You don't know what that website might be sending you PC It's a dedicated BOINC machine for badge hunting. Isolated. I'd be curious if they did send something. |

All-Sky Gravitational Wave search on O3 v 1.07
(Message 10294)
Posted 14 Nov 2023 by marmot
Post: How did you get 1.07 tasks? Every time I try, I get 1.06. This is with 3080 Ti or greater. So VRAM size it not a problem. Ah, good point. So there is not a version identified in the log. I'll adjust my hypothesis to "the server now tests for 4.5GB RAM available for any version". They are sending out both 1.06 and 1.07 and it'll be random what we get; the profile won't let us filter by version just opt in to beta. Could keep manually deleting 1.06 until a 1.07 shows. But 1.06 will be obsolete some time. I looked at your apps list and you don't have a WuProp entry for "All-Sky Gravitational Wave search on O3". You have 25 hours from today for "Gravitational Wave search O3 All-Sky #1" so is that the 1.06 version? I do have 27xx hours on this name so my 1060 3GB must have been running that in the past (I don't remember). (The AMD card was doing Milkyway). You have way more experience in these name shifts. QUESTION: Do you think "All-Sky Gravitational Wave search on O3" will be the permanent new name for version 1.07 and if we just wait for ver 1.06 to fade away we'll eventually get hours of that WuProp name? |

Post: This new version requires 4.5 GB GPU RAM and it checks. Tried faking the RAM size in coproc_info.xml and making it read only but no luck. NVidia 1060 3GB is pissed off. It threw bits at my dog. It wants to know why it can't be a 6GB like it's cousins... |

Post: https://uspex-at-home.ru/prediction/ Doesn't appear to be. 3 new users all joined on June 23, ran a few results, and nothing since. https://uspex-at-home.ru/prediction/user_search.php?action=search&search_string=&country=any&profile=either&team=either&search_type=date&action=Search There are no teams. It's encrypted VM with a wrapper that does the communications and we can't log into the VM OS because they are worried about decrypting of their proprietary USPEX crystalline structure simulation code. https://uspex-team.org/static/file/Khrapov_2017_2.pdf I tried "success" "uspekh" and "OGANOV'S LAB" but I really shouldn't have tried to guess and get a ban. It's a left over puzzle solving habit from text based adventure game days. |
