Posted 2 Jan 2021 by Alex Plantema Post: And It's very stupid indeed. And the wrong way round - why protect root users instead of "normal" ones? It's the normal ones that will screw up.Normal users don't need it because they cannot access other user's folders. |

Posted 31 Dec 2020 by Alex Plantema Post: I think the final straw was the command line not seeing a program in the current directory without me prefixing with ./ I class that as exceedingly unintuitive bad programming and won't be using it again../ is only needed when you're logged in as root. It isn't bad programming. It is a protection against users who put an executable with the same name as a system command into their folders. If there are no other users you can change the search path. |

Posted 29 Dec 2020 by Alex Plantema Post: Unless they have police and army on the streets stopping you exiting your home (like the Netherlands and China), it's not a lockdown. All we have is advice which I ignore entirely.There's no one here stopping us from exiting our home. It's still entirely allowed. |

Posted 12 Dec 2019 by Alex Plantema Post: It's a matter of statistics. There's simply more chance that you encounter a machine running many tasks concurrently, so it doesn't need to be the cause. |

BOINC Client Improvements

Posted 11 Jul 2019 by Alex Plantema Post: I would wish the client to show cpu time like version 5 and earlier instead of running time. Then we can see which task hangs. |

Op Ed Piece in the NY Times Regarding Climate Model Computing
(Message 60312)
Posted 14 Jun 2019 by Alex Plantema Post: I see that some of the cheaper MB/CPU bundles have motherboards that only take up to 32GB ram. Seems a bit mad when the pairing includes an 8core cpu. Each task uses at most 600 MB of ram currently. |

(Message 59966)
Posted 11 Apr 2019 by Alex Plantema Post: The links under the batch numbers lead to pages with a link called Restricted access to batch CPU analysis, leading to a page asking to log in using an unsafe connection. The links to the first and third publications on the CPDN Publications page are invalid. |

Posted 26 Aug 2018 by Alex Plantema Post: Now you posted it in this thread. That isn't where people are looking for it when they need it. That's why I suggested to use a central place for it like the batch list. |

Posted 2 Jul 2018 by Alex Plantema Post: I wouldn't recommend anything less than Raid 6, because by the time one drive fails, another drive may have errors too, and without redundancy you cannot rebuild the set. |
