@rich turtle I'm joking i'm using a gt620
Ah, lol
got no money for fancy stuff
but atleast android studio works good enough with emulator
Found my name on the LTT team list, didn't realise the main page only showed a portion of the donors. Went to a striped down version of the same page and found myself (:
@rich turtle I see that you build a rackmount pc you think you could help my for a futur project ?
@rich depot How many do we have so far?
1,244 @rancid frost
Hooowee, that's a lot of competition there!
I have been planning my college folding for the month, picking out classes & computers far enough apart that the students won't realise it 
If I log I to 30 computers they would suspect something π
So one per row is my motto
It's only been a few days of testing and I already qualify for badges.
I fold too but cpu only currently
So not the fastest thing π
I'm going to be busy the next while so I wonder if I can just leave my pc on folding..
@vernal oasis We take part in the BOINC pentathlon every year, that is a multi week event that many forums are involved with. The truth is, I just can't be bothered t otry to manage a BOINC event due to the complexities of BOINC
I'm excited for the science. This is my first folding month
Oh no
I need help
I can't fold in college !
http://nacl.foldingathome.org/
They shut down NACL !
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy
it's my ticket to first place π€£
HAHAHAHA @potent oar
I will not go down without a fight !
Though without NaCL I doubt I can ever come close to those numbers for WU...
Fight on brother, take solace in the fact neither of us will ever be first place
I still have a few options possible..
Mostly using a portable windows USB for weekends since.. well.. I'm the one using it last on friday an first on monday π€£
still leaves out like.. 4 days of he week
Just do a live linux install, better PPD
true
Hrmmm...even with all these people running around with heavy hardware, I wonder if I have a shot at the top...
PCGH has an folding-week 21.-27. September
@coral apex With us doing 5 consecutive weeks I think we should out shine them, especially with the power of LMG behind us.
huh @coral apex
i mean you can do both xD
Jump on both to be eligible for prizes from both forums, is that what you mean?
yeah thats the spirit ;D
Hmm... I do have 3 systems folding atm...
Can Boinc use my GPU ? Cause I have an RTX 2070 Super and a Vega 56 soooo π
@fleet garnet Jump on the folding month, don't even bother with BOINC for the time being
The folding month is in October. On the question of can BOINC use GPUs, yes, there are BOINC projects that run on GPUs.
Okay, well I'll start folding again ^^ I got two R7 1700 and one beefy R9 3900x coming through :D
@fleet garnet Don't forget to throw your GPUs at it
Yup ;)
been running this for quite a while now considering it's just my pc and not a server π
I was folding for team Druaga1 before but just switched to LTT :
Seems to use my GPU quite well
LMG prizes π
So close to #1!
I'm absolutely sure I'm not going to win any prizes xD I registered but y'know, no chnaces against guys with 60mill points xD
I donβt think all the prizes are based on total points
Some might be but there are likely prizes going to randomly selected participants
Not sure if the exact methods have been decided yet, @rich depot can maybe shed some light on this?
Doing to be announced sometime mid month
Going*
@hearty rampart I want to do it in a way where most 80% or so of people get a chance to win, which means I need a better idea of numbers. Hence why I'm waiting
Makes sense. Plus with the abundance of steam keys donated why not make more people eligible?
The minimum spec is designed so that anyone with a system from the last decade or so can meet it. It's to stop people playing the system and not actually participating
(Referring to the random keys, not the gift cards)
The gift cards will be earmarked for the higher places that's a given
I wasnβt suggesting the bar be lower, Iβm just further supporting your reasoning.
When I say more people I mean more people that wonβt necessarily place in the top 25-50 or whatever spots
Ahh, sorry, been a long day, just got back from a board meeting of the charity I run
No worries π
The random keys will be handed out in a way that everyone who meets minimum requirements head a chance to win one
Awesome.
The gift cards will be specifically for the higher ranks, though that isn't exactly decided yet
@fleet garnet see above
Also, total points mean nother here, we collect data every hour, so only the points produced during the event count with regards to rankings and prizes
nothing* damn dyslexia
@fleet garnet Don't worry. I disqualified myself from prizes lol.
Oh okay well, got my hopes up :p
No !
I totally did not buy a cheap, new Radeon HD7970 to compensate for the lack of NACL >.>
And also a new sealed Ge6800 from Biostar π
Not that the latter will accomplish much π
π€ I wonder if I can put both my 1070 & the 7970 in the same pc and use them both for folding..
Without making things overly complicated..
DO NOT MIX GPU VENDORS... you will be in for a world of pain
You can run each card in a VM if you have GPU pass-through though
I guess I could also just plug it in my other build. but I don't think the psu can handle it
(Actually, wait no. it just can't
I'd have to put the 1070 in there and the 7970 in my main rig π
worth it...
I've run 2080 and vega 64 together once
It's kind of a mess with opencl drivers
pretty often one of them shows as missing and then when you install drivers on it, something happens to the other one
Exactly ^
I mean it works, but it can be annoying
could someone dm me, I'm curious about the potential of running BOINC on a server, and what gear would be most cost effective to do so. Because, though I have a beefy laptop, I would like to be able to turn it off at some point without losing progress on things like distributed evolution.
@everyone
What is folding and boinc
I'm just gonna buy a psu
I think I got around 150-175k PPD from my HD7970
Considering it used more power than my 1080Ti, which was around 1-1.3m PPD, it wasn't really worth running the HD7970.
Has anyone tried folding with the 5700 XT recently? My 970 died a few weeks back so I'd be stuck doing CPU only if the 5700 XT doesn't work
@fierce steppe Yeah but I mean, I have it.. I might as well ?
Other than that I'll be stuck only using my 4790k + 1070
@proper jetty Read the first post her https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1091921-ltt-official-folding-month-2019/
LTT Folding Month 2019! Starts October, 1st (00:00 BST) Ends November, 4th (23:59 GMT) Folding@home team LTT id#: 223518 (This event is only for folding for team LTT you will not qualify if you are folding independent or for another team, sorry.) This event will be eligible f...
It's time to get serious. 
nice
@rich turtle Not Teslas, not serious π
Who folds on Teslas?
I did/have, but just joking. Such a thing is pointless on those are not any faster
But everyone knows teslas are the strongest GPUs /s
Haven't had any 14180's all day. Is nice. Also looks like the PPD in the client is working again, or perhaps it's just because it's not doing those scuffed WUs
@rich turtle Yep. all fixed
Perhaps now I'll stop being lazy and add the two 2080 Tis to the mix.
Hey, is there an updated "how to get started" for the folding month? half the links in the old one do not work π¦
nvm, had to set it up via the web control before the fah control started working
so... why aren't the points called quick-bits? asking for a friend..
Aight yall, since I can't get the School pcs to work in my favor, I got my own pcs to get work done !
5x 4690T HP ProDesk mini pcs π
Please deliver at least 2 of those to my address... for... "research" purposes. ahem MC servers.
I'm selling them when the month is done, if ya want one, it's yours π
Hmmm I mean, it's tempting, but I guarantee I'll have to sell my left leg just to ship one to Canada.
What are the exact specs (or the model of ProDesk), aside from the i5-4690T CPU?
"Is in canada"
i5-4790T, 8gb ram. 3 of them have 128gb ssds, 2 have hdds (250 & 500gb each)
Shipping would be a breeze, where in Canada are you ?
Ooooo sorry I just always expect everyone to be USA lol. I'm out on the West Coast. Been looking for something inexpensive to replace my aging Dell Optiplex 780 USFF PC.... its' done OK, but the E7500 CPU from the Core 2 Duo era is really struggling to do much of anything beyond running a basic webserver for testing code right now.
Loool, I'm in Mtl.
I doubt shipping would be more than 20-30$ cad for a few of them
But I'm selling the SSD ones for about 250$ a pop.
We can probably do a deal if you're willing to buy more than 1
(Cad that is)
Eh, I only need one, and that's way outta my budget for my needs, but thanks! Hopefully you find a buyer that can make good use of them.
no problem Β―_(γ)_/Β―
Going to be swapping the folding server over to ubuntu sometime over the next couple days! Exciting times
what do you guys think would be the best bang for buck card to buy atm?
2060 @final hinge
Although I haven't looked into the super cards yet I don't see it changing much imo
looking at the prices where i live, i could get two 2060 or one 2080 for the same price
and the 2060 super is nearly 20% more expensive than the non super
2060 can net you 1-1.1m PPD with the right settings I've been told, the 2080 would be what... 1.8m PPD or so.... @rich turtle any input on 2080 production?
My dual 2080 setup gets between 3 and 3.2M PPD
Thanks for the input
I used to get higher w/ WU22 but those don't seem to come around much anymore
@final hinge ^^^
so it does not really matter
unless i find some used 2060 for a good price, doubt that many 2080's would be on the market π
Finally gpu folding again
Nice! @vernal oasis
GPU was in rma for a month but now it's running full speed again 
Woohoo! #1
whoa nice
Can you guess when I got my gpu back
xD
Man I wish overclock.net would show one profile with different teams instead of making new profiles
There.
xP
nice
oh shit
And here I am Uncle bobing this shmoo together
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/455551920140976131/622915437524549642/20190915_175726.jpg?width=380&height=676
I didn't turn it on yet, I need to get the fire extinguisher out first
The rare moment that every WU is handing out peak points.

@potent oar I slot GPU?
It just looks really skinny
I think it's just an angle thing
I just started folding
How long should it take to get a point?
It all depends when you submit a WU @forest frigate
Look at the ETA of the work unit to get a rough estimate
Okay thank you
no worries
pcgh folding week starts tomorrow ;D
@coral apex folding week... Vs folding month(actually 5 weeks) plus I just got us a WAN shout out


@potent oar last years folding month we averaged 205m PPD with 300 sign ups, we have over 1400 sign ups this year.
great
Nice
Woah
Holy shit
Hopefully we keep that crypto team off of our backs for a while. I want to at least be able to savor taking the 9th place position lol
But looking at the flatfile it seems only about 850 or so are the real deal @potent oar
Still, that's almost 3x last year
@potent oar we are expecting a few shout outs the weekend before too. Hopefully WAN, TL and a tweet from LTT

But... There are prizes....
@potent oar also, the month before last year we did 1billion points, then went into do 6billion for the event, this month were on track to do 3billion the month before we start.... Going to be interesting
It was funny before we set a target of 1b points for the actual event
I'll only have my main one running with the ltt 1070 this year 
Rip
Turns out I was sold a broken psu and can't do anything for now
We have a target of 10b this year... Fingers crossed
I have like 3 850w PSUs laying about
lol
All decent but older models, shame you don't live in britland
yeah
I hope my money comes in this week so I can grab either a 2060/2060s/2070
Not sure on which model yet as not sure how much I'll be getting. But the gov f'd me over, after filing with the local Courts they just happened to find my paperwork
Which I'm glad about because it was a total bluff
Rip
But also nice
Ooh lol
That reminded me, I need to wipe the HP Mini pcs lol
I might just sell them before the month begins tho. I kind of want my money back π
right now I'm hopefully got a chap interested in buying two of my older GPUs. If that happens, may pick up a newer GPU and the event be a great way to tune it in and give a good break in.
I did sign up right?
@pseudo abyss check for your name here
https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1091921-ltt-official-folding-month-2019/?do=findComment&comment=12912178
I am there
So many people
If prizes are given out at random to those that manage the minimum thing, the chance for winning something if you do, is still higher than most other giveaways
If it can be called that
That's not tvee reason I will do it tho
I won't manage to get as many points as last folding month tho, but will do minimum
From what I've seen there's quite a few prizes graciously donated for the event. So there will be quite a few people getting something.
I'll see how much of the time I can keep my pc folding
Ye
@pseudo abyss The method for the awarding of the prizes will be announced in the next 24 hours, was meant to be today but had a medical emergency with the baby so had to be mostly AFK today.
@potent oar GOT THE MONEY!!!!
But, only managed to snag one of the well priced RTX 2060 cards, paying 270GBP

Also didnt get as much as I probably should have, but I ain't about to go to war with the gov y'know
I kinda wish I still had a job atm, but college is in the way π
I only manage to work one day a week as my neuro condition has f'ed be over
oh nice
thx
After the event it will replace my 980, but during the event it will run alongside
Some extra money has come in.
I'll use it to pay my roommate off so he feels better about the power drain.

I probably have to open my window a little when folding
it gets a bit warm indoors
I'm planning to run with my TG panel off while it's going on.
TG?
Tempered glass.
ah
I have an rv02 so I just run mine closed
my gpu is really loud when folding so i prefer it closed that way
I also have to remember to set my clocks and everything. My CPU /RAM OC doesn't play nice with F@H.
I just set my cpu to 4.7 all core then leave it like that
But I can crank the GPUs up beyond 2000 and leave 'em there.
I leave my gpu stock
It runs at 3800 rpm by itself, which is kind of loud
But when I'm not home I guess the noise doesn't matter
I have two of those Strix cards, so they only get loud when they run at full burn.
Their fans are divine.
Mine runs 3800 rpm on both fans no matter what I set in afterburner
Maybe you have to use another manufacturer-specific program.
possibly
Afterburner gave me mixed results, so I went with GPU Boost II and ended up with more control.
Asus program for Asus cards.
I tried the OEMs software, but it doesnt change anything either
As soon as there is a load it ramps to max fan speed
What do you have?
I'd just put up with the noise for a while.
Yeah I do
besides my vega 64 was noisy too when folding
But that was great at folding
I'm going to use both my 1080Tis.
Maybe get the Junkitron up and running again just to have some smaller hardware working towards my name as well, but I have to finish building my new network setup for that to happen.
The router is starting to act up, and the switch downstairs is on its last legs, so I'm going to take that opportunity to overhaul the apartment's entire networking setup.
Crunchy-crunchy, Vega-Turing style.

@unique sigil beautiful as always
The LTT Forum annual folding month competition is now open!
Folding @ Home allows you to use your home computer to contribute to medical research of diseases like cancer, and Alzheimer's. This year we've partnered with Corsair, Fractal Design, EVGA, and Cablemod to giveaway some sweet prizes for helping out with the cause.
Check it out here: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1107777-folding-month-2019-help-medical-research-with-your-pc/
Hey everyone! π For the second year in a row, Im here to talk to yall about Cancer, Alzheimers, Huntingtons disease, Parkinsons. They are terrible diseases that have had an effect on nearly everyone in one way or another, and we want to help. Researching these conditions i...
I now have dual RX580 to fold with lel
Better than last years Intel HD4000
Also 4 cores extra as opposed to last year
heh, too bad I canβt βborrowβ the dozen work computers I have at my cubicle
@coral terrace eh
I ran F@H on some retail laptops in a store
But 640W of heat all day long in my room is gonna be fun
Maybe I should move my PC to the living room, so I donβt get fried
lets see if I can pull off a near 24/7 ontime for this month
I believe!
I'm going to push as hard as I can, but I think I can get away with 24/7 running if I dial back my settings every now and then to make the place easier to live in on weekends!
Less or more?
I assume, that if I joined in on this, there will be away to run F@H as a service or something for when Microsoft forces a reboot in the middle of the night?
Anyone know where i would go to see my stats page?
nvm found it, Saying "Not Found" tho
it's kind of annoying that they show that I have two different profiles
Cause I changed team
@vernal oasis does ur stats page show as "not Found"
nope
I should probably blow out my rig before folding, it's been awhile
Been a while for mine too
can you have 2 rigs going at the same time on one account?
yes i think
I think so, been awhile
I remember having my PS3 and PC going AGES ago
might try, Have my old rig with an i5-6600k/GTX 1050 ti 4gb and 16gb ddr4 ram
I'm thinking of also running a client on a laptop, maybe on low settings or something
noice
π
multi gpu?
A lot higher I guess
Yeah
Those fit in a Mac mini
If you put 640W in that FF I wouldnβt be surprised if it actually exploded
just started today lol I5 7400 and GTX 1060 3G
ah
hmm, my GPU doesn't seem to be doing much, is that normal?
like 6% utilization according to taskmgr
in task manager it doesnt show up check in 3rd party app
Guys my forum handle is only my Username right?
or also the number in front of it in the Profile URL?
looks like it's doing something now, just doesn't show in taskmgr like you said
you can change graph to cuda/compute and it will show up
does anyone here know where/how I can find my stats link in this format? https://i.kio.dev/pfg.png
i searched up at that page for my username but it is showin stats from 2010 it looks like it updates every few hour but I can be wrong
How do I get my folding stats page when I start?
run the client and go to https://client.foldingathome.org/
also
oh you mean the link to extremeoverclocking? @eager flint
Yeah
they want a name for the passkey
Sorry
i have no clue, i'm wondering that too
Username or real name?
@still vault I just put my full name, don't think it really matters
for Passkey
username
It's not like anyone is going to have access to your passkey information
was an example
yeah, idk how to find this link :/ https://i.kio.dev/pfg.png
i guess you need to run it for a few hours, and then find your name on the list for the ltt team? idk
oh boy
https://i.kio.dev/5wS.png
At least it gives some breathing room where my system can still function at its normal pace
My name has been used before but I'm going to assume its okay because the username was not for team ltt
I'm sorry that this is not a lot
i5 4670K with no GPU
im a generation older in cpu with 2 less cores dedicated because of medium and a below average graphics card
and im getting way more points :/
What did you do?
Is your system still operable while on full?
I wonder if that would actually boost
Cause full makes me think its going to attempt to use every little bit of power
oh that's fine this is my secondary rig
Well im asking this because I would set mine to full but this is my main and only pc
the R9 290 in it died so it has been doing pretty much nothing
your internet upload will suffer
I have fast enough internet
and it doesnt even look like the fah process is using any internet traffic
my CPU runs at 60 under FAH
Mine runs at 82-83C
I wonder if this is single or multi core intensive
mine is running in mid 60s on medium
FAH? it uses all cores
@still vault In the client that number next to the cpu means how many cores its using
Like mine is CPU;2
unless on light, then it uses half
it says 4
the 4760k is a 4 core cpu so there you go
chunkster rig
im waiting for extremeoverclocking stats website to update so I can submit my form for the contest
I find it annoying that they made a profile for each team that I'm in instead of having a single one
I think i know why my CPU handles this so well
This is a clean windows
and FAH is the only program I have installed after setup
makes me wonder how it would do on linux
not even chrome has been downloaded yet
actually also makes me wonder how it would do on my server
If I had to take a guess using a server to run fah is probably not permitted in the contest
I assume 21:17:52:ERROR:Receive error: 10053: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. isn't normal
I have a spare computer running Linux and docker. Does anyone know if there is a docker container I can use for this?
Why not just run the fah client normally
up & running :) https://i.kio.dev/dv9.png
took a bit to get my gpu working for some reason
those temps look pretty good tbh
You're dedicating your system to the folding?
me?
Idk
burr
I might consider it just for a bit
You have it on folding power full
it's my normal computer and I'm not doing anything rn
I decided to use full because I'm not using it
is it still "usable" on full?
thinksmart
oh for sure
CPU only and still kicking cancers butt good herr
and yeah on my ryzen 5 3600
i can still play lighter games without lagging too much @neat cloak
I forgot once I had prime 95 small ftts running in the background
yeah i can use my pc on full as well
because it ran so smooth
I happen to have a PC sitting around doing nothing
So I can fully dedicate this
That is until my parents get angry because of this machine running 24/7
i have a 2950 series iii spare
may use that
it's always on anyway
and my parents don't like my pc being on doing nothing so if they complain, I'll justtell em
lol
nice
im going to assume that the points on the web client doesnt update until one of the %s complete
I wonder what is more concerning, the sacking GPUs, the RM650x running 2 1080s or the fact that all 3 of them are choking each other to death
https://files.phoenixonaroof.me/5s66NlD.png idk if its just doing more work or something but that percentage movement is slow
also not 460, a 560 get it right program
Also, I know the sag is terrible, but thereβs not a lot I can do about now
Will be getting fixed when I get a new case
And also, temps arenβt that bad
hey, so theres really no point in joining folding month unless we make it into the top 100 (for being eligible for a prize anyway)
right?
or... just the first 3 draws are top 100
just wanna make sure i'm reading the details right
not sure how it works but im ready to go give half power of 2 servers to my folding efforts if it means moar points
im not sure i wanna do that to my poor laptop, but i got an old rig i could setup to crunch a bit.... nothing that great though
@vapid vector Well first off youβre supporting medical research, second youβre still eligible for community prizes. Hereβs the drawing method for those: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1091921-ltt-official-folding-month-2019/?do=findComment&comment=12916649
Thanks!
NP.
That's for the community given prizes, do you know about the lmg prizes?
Hey everyone! π For the second year in a row, Im here to talk to yall about Cancer, Alzheimers, Huntingtons disease, Parkinsons. They are terrible diseases that have had an effect on nearly everyone in one way or another, and we want to help. Researching these conditions i...
thats what i was reading
so, 2 pools of prizes then
So we only need to apply at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Gr6yyAKMGqt3GnvWmB_rfaK97f82_dj5VRJOAgygVL0/viewform?
Nope
if you want to be a part of the lmg prize draw the one with the tech stuff from the partners there's another one to fill out @split cipher
Yes. it may take some time to fill out one of the fields on the other form
For LMG prizes: https://lmg.gg/8KV1b
It asks that you get your stats page from folding.extremeoverclocking.com but you can't get that until the site updates its listing
Which is every 3 hours
I am very confused now
Why is that
i folded last year so my details are still there
FAHControl and client.foldingathome.org show vastly different points per day values
@rich depot maybe you can shed some light on this?
Points per day on FAHControl is over 97K
Points per day on the web client is like 7271
can you sign up for both?
both google forms?
ya
I think you need to do the yellow one and the purple one is for the tech prize pool
im more confused about all this then i was before
hmmm setting up my rig this year isn't going to be easy...
https://files.phoenixonaroof.me/KEOwbIx.png why is it so much higher :L
Also if this is 96K on my home computer I can only imagine what it would be on my two servers

is that gpu though?
its running both
and both components are below average components these days
a 3rd gen i5 and an rx 560
i wanna run my system with PCIe passthrough but all of my servers need to stay up basically 24/7
the only server i could run it on i killed the PCIe slot in...
Luckily for me my 2 servers are currently only half loaded so medium on fah should let the actual processes stay at their proper speed
I can unfortunately only have 5 hours of downtime a month, so adding a GPU cuts that time thin
I'll let my main rig run overnight
Is folding possible on MacOS?
yes
you can even do it on Pis
Lol
Why do I have a feeling that its going to be a pain to command line install and get going fah
Nvidia is a pain, otherwise should be easy
These servers lack gpus
https://files.phoenixonaroof.me/Wywzd9k.png nevermind might be easier than I thought
@split cipher Do you know if you're able to use the same passkey across multiple fahclient instances?
My GPU won't fold help
quick search shows that you can use the same passkey
hmm well I can't access the web interface for the server because it doesnt have a gui to let me run a browser :L
Canβt access on another computer?
well because it connects to the instance of FAH running on that computer
How long does it usually take for active client stat to update?
I've set up my server and my laptop's gpu about an hour or so ago and they've been chugging along but both foh & extre show 0 activity
oh yeah, blowing out dust made a huge difference
okay! i'm folding for team LTT
In the LMG form, do I have to use the extremeoverclocker url or can I use the foldingathome.org url?
Do extremeoverclocker cause it's easy to see recent folding activity (ie if you participated in the event)
The example given in the form is the extremeoverclocker link as well
@coral terrace how much of a difference
okay, I will do so. The recent stats, do they update per completed unit? As in you gotta solve a unit for it to update
extremeoverclocking stats update every 3 hours
before, the side of my case was hot, now it's reasonably warm
To be in the top 100, do I basically need a gpu farm
dont think so
it's top 100 during the upcoming month, not all time, so it's fairly reasonable.
yay old mining hardware time
wow, it still has 300k points from when I folded at least over 10 years ago for another forum
my username that is
@hearty rampart ignore them both, neither is right, ever
@vapid vector sign up to both
I have one, just acquired a 2060 to add foot then event, it will replace the 980FE I have in there at some point after the event
A dedicated machine I mean
it's ridiculous how much difference a gpu makes. My surface book is getting ~60k/day on its 1060, meanwhile my old Q6600 server is getting 8k.
Yep
all that, while the server is drawing at least 105Watts, but given it also needs to power the other components more like 200+ while the surface book is cruising around 100.
If you ever wanted a prime example of how efficient modern hardware is, this is it
I haveΒ 980FE, 980ti palit superjetstream, 1080FE, 1080 aorus waterfotce, 1080ti EVGA SC2 hybrid and now the 2060 too
rip you electricity bill in october π
I fold like this 24/7/365
hey can someone plz tell me how do i get the link to the " Folding Stats Page"? tnx π
rip your electricity bill all year 'round lmao
Can someone confirm that default behavior is for F@H to run on startup, even if I'm not logged in?
You need to sigh in for it to launch, but you can then lock the machine
I'm making use of my dorm contract having a fixed included price for electricity
I'm more worried about Microsoft's update rebooting my machine
defer updates for october, if you have Win 10 Pro that's possible now.
Yep
ah, that's nice
What kinda PDD you guys getting so far?
looks like I did it in time, the latest feature update was queued
How am i meant to search for myself on folding.extremeoverclocking.com
I'm aiming for around 4m PPD for the event
I search for my name but two instances of the incorrect team come up
@neat cloak check your team number
if you're like me, you won't be up there yet
my team number is set to proper
yay! my stats finally updated https://i.kio.dev/Zfl.png
223518 is the ltt number and thats what i set
Yeah and it just updated like 9 minutes ago
but it doesn't count until you complete one right?
I was waiting for it, but it doesnt work still
@coral terrace yes
yeah. you have to complete a WU for it to count
@neat cloak if you have less than 5k(I think) points you won't come up on EOC
Jason, the guy who runs it prunes the Stanford data for cost reductions
I mean my pc and a server is running under my name and passkey
You will only get QRB credit after 10 successful WUs
Then you need to complete 90% of all WUs without failing or you list the bonus credit
You are really confusing me right now
https://files.phoenixonaroof.me/nIMHx13.png I need this
I have been unable to get this
and im kinda annoyed at the fact that I cant get any gui to work with my server to check on the fahclient running on it
I doubt I have

Read the full post, lots of info there
oh wait i did read it
Read the passkey section again
If you're assuming I don't have a passkey I do
How does this have to do with getting my folding.eoc stats page link again? 
@neat cloak what server are you running? On ubuntu I was able to get Folding@home to allow me access from my main computer
Oh, I thought you was under the minimum credit
Search your name, or look at the LTT member list
@neat cloak read this guide, scroll down to configure.
https://www.iceflatline.com/2017/12/install-and-configure-foldinghome-on-ubuntu-server/
the tldr is stop fahclient, edit the config.xml to add your main computer's ip address, then start it back
then access the web interface using <yourServerIP>:7396
This post describes how to install and configure the Folding@home client software on a Ubuntu server.
Well I still don't know if I am under the minimum or not thats the thing
This has been running on my pc for like an hour and on my server for like 45 mins
about the same for me, and I still have 45 minutes left for my CPU to finish it's first WU
https://files.phoenixonaroof.me/b6LXC0T.png seems like its going to take MUCH longer than that
CPU Folding?
Yeah... Most people don't do that anymore for this reason, how many threads?
aint cpu and gpu supposed to be separate units?
they are
I think so, yeah
What GPU?
rx 560
That explains it
heh, my CPU is estimated 49k per day, and my GPU is estimated 585k
I don't exactly have a chunkster rig with an i9 and an array of 2080tis
Folding on AMD is wank. Even a Vega 64, which I used to own takes hours. But that seems very slow even for that card
lol I'm folding on a Q6600. To give you an idea of how old it is, that's the Core 2 Duo era, the era when North Bridge on mobo was a thing. Don't be ashamed every little bit helps. 8K/day ayy.
Ask on the thread I linked and there's probably someone else with that card who can advise
@wanton bloom ill fold on a FM2 athlon x4 when the month starts, no shame no gain
I got a laptop with a quad core i5 and a mobile nvidia card, not sure if I'm going to stick with it, last I checked, I think it was only like 5k points for CPU and GPU
Once you get QRB that should go up
Not sure in Linux, @agile patrol can you advise?
did you stop it and edit the xml? first step would be to reverse xml changes and try restarting the client
Nvm that output is lying
I'm pretty n00b at Linux, and when I followed the guide it worked and started right up so..
https://files.phoenixonaroof.me/E3Qciiy.jpeg its working fine
anyone else having the issue where it just does this for days on end? https://gyazo.com/17e1d284e31089422f7ab7bd0b96bfe6
Ah, coolio, got the webui access sorted then?
@earnest matrix open it in edge or incognito mode in chrome
ug, laptop cpu says estimated 490 points per day, the gpu is up to 50k
but but but firefox master race @rich depot π
@wanton bloom shush you, you foxy man
@wanton bloom Yeah. I'm surprised this isnt significantly impacting the mc server that is also running on the server
:/
Isn't that a good thing?
it is
I mean if you put it to full I think you'll see the mc performance drop
It depends
oh no wonder, that i5 is dual, not quad.
So just to clarify running this on multiple different machines will all give me points into the same profile right?
yep
thanks @rich depot https://gyazo.com/199e667c34ba7e9a9f910e864dd8a259
Yes, as long as you use all the same deets
all is good now
I used the same folding name and passkey
@earnest matrix no worries
So I should be good then
Yeah
I guess Iβll google how to stop cpu but keep gpu going
Cores matter
@neat cloak you need to leave a core free per card, plus one got the OS
Oh, I thought you meant it's running better when you disabled GPU, never mind
Nah its running much better on the server. Cause cores matter
I think my sister isnt using the windows laptop I bought her (she a mac person), maybe Iβll borrow that to add to my collective
Yeah man
@coral terrace all the processing powa
Time to go setup another instance of fah on another server
too bad the chrome client is gone, Iβd use that on my work laptop overnight
maybe make a bootable linux usb with fah installed
wanna bet you're gonna get tpm conflicts?
Had so many issues with "security" on an Elitebook I traded my dad the laptop for his old desktop.
probably
The points you've earned section of the gui isnt loading on the server instances
https://files.phoenixonaroof.me/NeLVdMt.png and the second server seems to be having some issues with it?
That's confusing. Why is it running so slowly :/
it wont give an accurate ETA till around 3%
welp
I've caused the same issue that person above was having
with the constant reload cycle
open it in incognito mode
okay but the way its running it likely wont reach 3% for a few DAYS
its chomping down on this server's Xeon but its running very bad
Running for 5 mins at .01
just now .02
Folding month is a month and a half early...
Guess Iβm starting late
Guess that means I have to be active again
Guess that means I gotta buy another GPU π
@stiff plaza folding month is in October!!! I may have acquired a 2060 to add to the army
holy shit man
???
It just needed a little bit to get up to speed it seems but daaamn
yep
The Xeon is outpacing the 4790k server by 3 fold
Wait so... itβs not started?
the xeon server: https://files.phoenixonaroof.me/tZnBYGq.png

@stiff plaza
Awwww damn. I forgot my water loop limits my GPU slots to 3
Oh ok. Jakkuh just said it started and I havenβt been online since
Gotta get that head start on the points π
I'm able to shove the 4790k into full performance it doesnt seem to affect the mc server at all @rich depot 
NICE
I guess the Xeon is better suited for this kind of workload
@stiff plaza ignore jake, he don't know what hes saying
Makes sense because its a xeon
Its all about threads
There's something im not quite familiar with
FAH has no advantages running on server grade HW
going on, they both have the same core and thread count
1500 sign ups and counting
Man rip me getting top 100 for the lmg prizes
better memory bandwidth on xeons
Rip me getting top 10
I just want to be eligible for those sweet tech prizes
Gonna have to drop some cash on a 2080 TI lol
Also, only 3 of the prizes are top 100, the reast are just random
oh really
And another computer
yes
Well maybe luck will be on my side then
probably not, I've never won any competitions
Then the community prizes have different tiers so everyone can have a chance
Nice
@stiff plaza I'm expecting 6-7 cards for me
looking at 4-5m PPD
Nice
million?
do i need to keep the browser page open ive changed tabs and says sleeping are my points beig calculated or not?
Yeah million
@sacred spruce no you dont need to keep it open
I have 980FE, 980ti palit superjetstream, 1080FE, 1080 aorus waterfotce, 1080ti EVGA SC2 hybrid and now the 2060 too
Nice lol. I have an MSI 1080 Ti, a 1080 Ti black edition on water, a 1080 Strix and a 1080 FE
@stiff plaza can you DM me on the forum, need to test something
And a 750 Ti but I care more about keeping my 100k points per WU than ppd lol
Uh not at the moment
I go back to looking at the gui for the 4790k server and its jumping by %s and that ppd
damn
Hold on
I wonder if it ramps up later into the process
How it do. There like no way its this good
@rich depot done
thanks
What did you need
having issues with notification sounds, got it fixed now
lmfao
I knew something wasnβt right
I literally havenβt been on the forum since like... February
I'm always about when it comes to the folding jazz
I donβt even get on discord any more
broke the 1billion mark last week
Nice man thatβs awesome
I was gunning for it last year. Think I stopped around 250k or so
This has got to not be expected behavior
Im right it wasnt expected behavior. Wonder what caused it to happen Β―_(γ)_/Β―
Just FAH things probs
is it normaly for it to just like not load the points earned section on the servers?
Cause its just stuck on Loading...
PC Games hardware has folding week this week, they are in 9th, we are looking to take it from them.
@stiff plaza hes called den-fi now, and yes, yes he is
and no, he didnt get dethrones in the end, but was very close. But that guy isnt on the forum anymore
they are germans so I call em the jerries, just to explain
Ah
they were getting all smug because they have folding week and it meant we couldnt catch them, then they found out we have folding month(actually 5 weeks)
I really should pick up another GPU... but I really donβt have the money lol
Yeah lol good job for them
So they called us all Americans that have no stamina, they threw the gauntlet, we are going to pick it up and throw it right at their face
How has the team been doing in the off season? Clearly active enough to get up to 10th
We have a folding sprint in summer
Yup yup
the month before last year we hit 1billion, this month we should get 3.5-4
Then the real fun starts
With 1500 people we better do 10
My aim is 10b, but I secretly think we will do more, much more
310 vs over 1500...
currently 1549
How much time was it again that I had to clock in with this to be eligible for all the prizes?
20 days
20 days total
yes, atleast 1 WU per day
thats the point, a i5 2400 and a GT 630 can hit mminimum requirements
Yeah my 750 Ti would obliterate that lol
Accessing the web client of fah running on the servers seem to like forgetting information or just not loading it altogether
its like oops im doing something but im not going to tell you what that something is https://files.phoenixonaroof.me/Hqp9n6m.png
I donβt know why everyone uses the web client
Just download it, itβs like a couple MB
How else am i supposed to know the status of fah on the servers
Download it
You're not quite understanding
Clearly not π
I couldnt help myself https://extreme.pcgameshardware.de/folding-home-pcgh-team-70335-/19803-rumpelkammer-pcgh-folding-home-thread-ii-4310.html#post10033203
Zitat von nonamez78 Diese Download HΓ€ngerei nervt aber massiv :-/. Ich kenne dieses Problem zwar auch, habe es aber bloΓ zwei, drei Mal im Jahr und in
Iβm rusty
I'm not going to worry too much about it. I'm going to assume the work its doing is fine and it showing the data is just the program being bad
βSeptember is their folding monthβ ok bro clearly doesnβt know English
ππ theyβre clueless
yep
They think they know what has come, but in face, we are just a storm on their horizon
Hey spectrum you got any 2080/2080 TIs for sale
I may not get to see what project its working on, but at least it knows what project its working on :L
hahahaha nope
How much are those going for used nowadays
too much in canada
PPD/W
So let me get this straight again
Does one of these fahclient's need to finish their workunit before the points and myself show up on eoc
I didnβt say money was no issue. I said watts are no issue lol
one hour and 32 mins till update again
I'm just saying, a used 2060 is the best card if you have the slots for them
@neat cloak its 01:28 here and I'm counting down to the update lmfao
Whatβs a 2060 do in PPD? Like 600k or so?
the actual foldingathome.org donor page also isnt counting me as of right now
900k-1.1m PPD
Thatβs almost 1080 Ti range dude fuck pascal lol
ikr
whoops
Iβll do some researching
Dinner time bye
does that page also work in the same way?
complete work units before info is displayed.
I believe so
Active clients within 7 days is going to be 3 when it updates
:L
Spectrum do you run one big client or multiple
And you're pushing how much ppd?
had some downtime for cleaning and what now, will have some more as I need to recase the folding server and add the 2060
around 3m PPD atm
nani
Hoping to get 4-4.5 for the month PPD
You getting all those points from multiple gpus?
yes
don't do CPU folding unless its the event
and the folding server is, my desktop is on 25/7 folding too but obviously I use it for work and gaming
24/7*
with my folding thing, is anyone else having a really bizzare problem of the page constantly updating and reloading and theres no meaningful information on screen?
@rancid crag use edge or incognito mode
https://files.phoenixonaroof.me/kzYcjAC.png there are shenanigans afoot
alrighty
Rebooting fahclient seems to have done the trick for my issue 
hey i earned myself 4,172 points in the last 4 hours or so
Nice
@rancid crag What's your ppd
dunno
Nice.
That will go up
my points earned still hasnt updated
If you have a passkey
i generated one via the email thing
Stanford servers update 5 past the hour, EOC every 3 hours
