1) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Thread (Message 6089) Posted 28 Mar 2023 by arcturus Post: Or have a 3rd party app handle updates for a large number of popular programs. https://ninite.com/ Boinc is a product of its generation. How many programs written 25 years ago are (a) still around and functional, and (b) have auto update functionality written in that era? The developer pretty much abandoned active support for the program some time ago.

14) Message boards : Number crunching : Double your task throughput on Linux (Message 5603) Posted 20 May 2022 by arcturus Post: Time permitting I think I'll test on a few other machines running Windows 10 and install Linux clean on a separate drive using bios to control the boot sequence. Years ago I made sure the installation was done by unplugging the primary drive holding Windows first just to be sure.

16) Message boards : Number crunching : Double your task throughput on Linux (Message 5589) Posted 20 May 2022 by arcturus Post: If you will, please look at this work unit: https://universeathome.pl/universe/workunit.php?wuid=102103724 which shows that my computer is slower than one 5 generations older and stock speed 2 Ghz less despite having the same OS and libraries. Could it be mine is running VirtualBox in Windows (host) with Linux as guest while the other is running Linux standalone? My machine is running 4.6 Ghz all core. I have a hard time believing the other machine is overclocked that much to explain it. Edit: Windows 11 BTW

Either the world has run out scientific endeavors or the importance of what we do is overstated.
