As you know, security issues arrive to computers world (Meltdown and Spectre)... Yes, we work on it, but the problem is that is still no patch for this bugs, so we decide to slow down until "big boys" find solution...

So do you mean that you will not be sending out work units? |

[...] so we decide to slow down until "big boys" find solution... This is very enigmatic. Some details and a notice sent via BOINC Manager would be appreciated. |

....does that mean, if the "Big Boys" (whoever they are) don´t find an acceptable solution within the next year, Universe@home will be ?"slow down"? for the next year? |

At the moment I'm still waiting for patches to the operating system... Unfortunately on last weeks I'm under process of relocating to new home, so have very limited time to work with project (I hope to finish this week). Also, I got new version of application source code as result of recent tasks, and also I need to get some new information about new privacy legislations witch will be implemented in UE soon. So, temporary I have stopped new tasks generation for few weeks until the problems will be solved. Krzysztof 'krzyszp' Piszczek Member of Radioactive@Home project team My Patreon profile |

Glad to see you're taking this seriously and keep your systems in a state you're comfortable with. I've moved my resources to other astronomy and physics projects while you get everything back on track. Good luck! |

This man has probably lost his way ... But I wanted to ask a question to the admin of Universe @ home: How far is the repair of the project page? Will it continue soon? It would be great ! Best regards lost |

Thank you Bill F Dallas TX In October 1969 I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; There was no expiration date.

Dell has started to release new updated BIOS downloads for systems using Intel chips. Subject to what you are running it appears that Intel has started to provide manufactures with mitigation assistance. Here is a generic news article posted on Dell's site. http://www.dell.com/support/contents/us/en/04/article/product-support/self-support-knowledgebase/software-and-downloads/support-for-meltdown-and-spectre In October 1969 I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; There was no expiration date.

Message for Krzysztof Piszczek, What is your system structure ? AMD or IBM based and what OS manufacturer ? Lots of OS patches being released and if you are using a brand name system such as HP, Dell, IBM a fair number of manufacturers are posting updates. If you share some basic information perhaps the community can assist in finding your update paths.

We made decision to continue independent to OS patches. So, new tasks with new app just launched now :) Krzysztof 'krzyszp' Piszczek Member of Radioactive@Home project team My Patreon profile |
