folding-and-boinc

[dusk ruin]

Why is it so high?

[storm talon]

that is a graph of the 32 cpu's on the host

running 12 quad core hosts

she's fuckin pinned

i'm basically turning my vsphere into a modern art project in support of fah

[rich depot]

lol

[torn smelt]

How many WUs have you guys completed?

[storm talon]

14

today

[still cipher]

i haven't managed to get a WU today

[torn smelt]

I was asking in total

[dusk ruin]

Is there a way to tell it to use only 50% of CPU or something? My laptop is going to melt

[storm talon]

well, I started 2 days ago and only decided to scale last night

so 14.1

[torn smelt]

Oh cool

Is there a way to tell it to use only 50% of CPU or something? My laptop is going to melt
Set the folding power to low

[dusk ruin]

That disables my gpu

[torn smelt]

medium?

[dusk ruin]

Pinned at 100

[storm talon]

disable ur gpu slot

[dusk ruin]

Well, I want my gpu

[storm talon]

or set it to not -1

start with a resonable amount

another gpu wu down

still waiting on send

[dusk ruin]

I want my gpu to be 80% at and CPU at 50%

Is there a way to set that? Or is it just that slider

[storm talon]

you have to set that in slots

[dusk ruin]

Oh

I see

[storm talon]

figure out how many is 50% of your gpu take off 10% and set that there

or whatever you want

but

cpu and gpu WU's are not the same

[dusk ruin]

Is it physical or hyperthreaded as well?

[storm talon]

debian is absolutely KILLING it for wu's tonight

if I could export this image and share it I would

every one I light up gets a WU

[fringe sequoia]

They added more WUs

It seems

[storm talon]

sick

[fringe sequoia]

New numbers

[torn smelt]

Here I'm still waiting for a wu

[fringe sequoia]

Patience

Your arbitrary internet points will come

[torn smelt]

LMG was gonna set up a work server, right? Any updates on that?

[fringe sequoia]

Considering that they are trying to get hardware donations... I would bet a few weeks until they have stuff

[storm talon]

13850 x3 , 14332, 13870, 13840, 13851 x2 , 13860, 13870 x2, 14304, 14335 all being folded here

hopefully my data sends

still waiting on the gpu send

[fringe sequoia]

i still have an OPENGL from the 19th that won't send

lol

[storm talon]

rip

[hushed bobcat]

I got 5 PC's running full tilt, seems like they got more WU out

[storm talon]

yea i'm spinning up 10 more nodes rn

[fierce steppe]

13850 x3 , 14332, 13870, 13840, 13851 x2 , 13860, 13870 x2, 14304, 14335 all being folded here
@storm talon None of those have any known issues [that I'm aware of]

[storm talon]

spotty, what about 11776? that's my gpu

stuck on send

[fierce steppe]

Has that been stuck on send for a few days?

[storm talon]

lol no

like 5 mins

[fierce steppe]

Oh well then that should be fine

[storm talon]

hell yea

1287005ppd

[simple briar]

Looking for help. Downloaded the folding client. The web page only shows my GPU working. Has my CPU at 0. Is this normal?

[storm talon]

and rising

[fierce steppe]

It most likely hasn't received a CPU work unit yet.
Common problem, not enough CPU WUs to go around

Just wait and it will start up when it gets one

[rich depot]

I have a dozen vm's running cpu and a few running gpu. work is coming in peicemeal, i am grabbing as much as i can. If I scale more it'll just deprive solo folders of their wu's
@storm talon

yea i'm spinning up 10 more nodes rn
@storm talon

😂

[storm talon]

lol

[rich depot]

not judging, just funny

[fringe sequoia]

I have no CPU unit RN

[simple briar]

Ok thanks! @fierce steppe

[rich depot]

I'm in full support larry

[storm talon]

It's a good problem to have

running out of work

[rich depot]

yeah

[fringe sequoia]

No more CPU WU is a good thing

Means I sleep in 70F instead of 100F

Kek

[storm talon]

just picked up 13850

lets go

[torn smelt]

Imagine using a room heater.
This meme was made by the folding gang.

Means I sleep in 70F instead of 100F

[fierce steppe]

243M points for LTT at the latest update. Insane!

[dreamy hazel]

weirdly enough it's the other way round for me, i have a cpu but no gpu WU

[rich depot]

I have nothing

[dreamy hazel]

I just started after watching linus's video today

[storm talon]

@rich depot what's your folding name

[fierce steppe]

Hell yeah, welcome

[storm talon]

I'll give you 2 vms

[fierce steppe]

you'd also need his passkey

[storm talon]

oof yea

nvm

I don't wan tyour personal info

[dreamy hazel]

running on a mere r9 3900x, but i guess every bit helps eh

[fierce steppe]

/cries in i7 6700K

[storm talon]

so if you fold without the passkey that doesn't count?

[dreamy hazel]

hey, upgraded from an i5 3570K

yep

[fierce steppe]

What GPU are you using @dreamy hazel ?

[storm talon]

rip

ok

[torn smelt]

It counts, but it isn't eligible for bonus credit

[dreamy hazel]

GTX 1060 6g

[rich depot]

@storm talon I don't care about points 😉 I'm not even in the ltt team (I'm in the nilered team)

[fierce steppe]

Nice! GTX 1060s are pretty power efficient cards for folding

[dreamy hazel]

having both up while working homeoffice, don't need my pc for that

[pseudo abyss]

I did not turn on my desktop before I went to work

[storm talon]

nile red is a good guy to be folding for as well

he ain't gonna beat ltt tho if I can help it 😉

[fierce steppe]

At least you didn't walk up to your computer that was running and folding and smack the power button

I did that to mine this morning out of habit

[torn smelt]

lol

[dreamy hazel]

mine's telling me pretty clearly that it runs

i mean, RGB acceleration is standard nowadays isn't it

[storm talon]

nite yall

4am oof

[dreamy hazel]

gnight larry

[storm talon]

happy folding

[rich depot]

@storm talon nilered is in a challenge with explosions and fire and styro . nilered is currently second as a team at like 10m, styro is at like 35 or something.

https://stats.foldingathome.org/team/239084

[storm talon]

oh, I thought you were talking about Nile Red the youtube channel

my bad

[rich depot]

yeah I am

[storm talon]

yea, he's dope

love that guyt

[rich depot]

the discord server for supporters of the channel is doing the challenge

[storm talon]

nice

[rich depot]

yeah

but we are losing xd

[storm talon]

no one is losing when we're all contributing to virus research

[rich depot]

that is def true

[eternal fiber]

Guys I get this weird unable to rename log.txt error when trying to start the client

[rich depot]

thats why I also don't care if I can't get wu's, cause it means we as community can't do more than we can at that moment. its a good problem

[dreamy hazel]

whew, 20 mins in and my cpu is at 81C

to be expected tbf

[storm talon]

Yea, watch ur temps

[rich depot]

yeah

[dreamy hazel]

aircooled

[rich depot]

I had to turn of a few cores in my advanced settings to keep nicely at 75c

[dreamy hazel]

should be fine

80 isn't harmful though is it?

[storm talon]

nopew

it's just "warm"

[dreamy hazel]

yeah

[storm talon]

if you start going above 90 then u got issues

[dreamy hazel]

i'll have an eye on it, and if it gets closer to 90 i might throttle

ye

been at 80 for a bit now tho

[rich depot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMHUz16MuYA

[storm talon]

i had to disable cpu on my localhost apart from 2 cores

my cooling is shit

i know what i need to upgrade next tho lol

dat cooler

[dreamy hazel]

got a dark rock pro 4, i've actually never seen anything past 65 before

[rich depot]

I upgraded my case, my temps dropped 10 degrees in idle, 5 in max temps

[storm talon]

I play rust on max graphics my cpu/gpu are used to running hot

[dreamy hazel]

i play and stream VR, cpu-encoded, 1080p60

it would seem so

i'm new and got one immediately

it also would appear as if my cpu is throttling a tiny bit, went from 4,05 to 3,98ghz avg all core

[tacit kite]

ive got a queston, why is my cpu working for hours but my graphics card is on "ready"

[dreamy hazel]

perhaps to stay at slightly above 80, but not higher

[storm talon]

@tacit kite what's your power level set at

needs to be medium or better to use gpu

[tacit kite]

its at full oad

*load

[storm talon]

probably no gpu shares then

[dreamy hazel]

what's the points per day mean? the points I accumulate if i made my pc run 24hrs?

[storm talon]

same here

[dreamy hazel]

yeah, probably waiting for a WU to be received

[storm talon]

yep

[tacit kite]

thats exactly how it looks on my pc

[storm talon]

that means ur waiting for work

let it run

[dreamy hazel]

mine says cpu:23

lul

[storm talon]

yea i limited my cpu to 1 core cause i'm gaming

[tacit kite]

yeah, probably waiting for a WU to be received
@dreamy hazel

[dreamy hazel]

i see

[tacit kite]

yeah my cpu is already on 25 %

and its only an e8400

dont know

[gritty shale]

hey everyone, new to the LTT discord but ive been on the forums for a long time

[tacit kite]

but i doubt that my geforce 210(yeah that one)

is stronger than my e8400

[gritty shale]

got a quick question, any chance there is a way to switch work units from a cpu to gpu?

i keep managing to get WUs for my cpu but not for my gpu, but obviously a 2070 super is going to get more points than a cpu, even a 16 thread one

[dreamy hazel]

i think the workunits for cpus vary from gpu WUs

[hushed bobcat]

@gritty shale they have different WU for CPU's and GPU's, you just need to wait for a WU for your GPU

[gritty shale]

i figured but it was work a shot

[dreamy hazel]

gpus can't handle many things a cpu can handle

it's just too specialized to do a few little things, but those really well

[gritty shale]

ive not got a WU for my gpu in a while but i keep managing to get WUs for my cpu

[lusty trellis]

Anyone figured "best" configuration for WU assignment when you have lots of Cores?

[gritty shale]

i have a rather unique problem too, my stupid UPS cant handle the current my computer pulls lol

so i have to just use 8 of 16 threads lol

[lusty trellis]

It would be nice if F@H provided stats for servers for available units pending.

[rich depot]

What does WU mean?

[dreamy hazel]

work units

a unit that can be assigned from the servers to your gpu or cpu

true

[rich depot]

LTT is now the highest performing team in the world!

[lusty trellis]

To take advantage of your turbo boost speeds you can limit the threads used

[dreamy hazel]

but there is reasons why we use gpus and cpus apart from each other, that's what I meant to say. The things a gpu is meant to do it really excels at, and a cpu using only software to do the same things is incredibly slow in comparison

but vice versa, a gpu might not be the first choice in handling things a cpu is meant to do, even if technically it would be possible to make it do that

[lusty trellis]

@meager hound personally I trust the AMD engineers and not myself 🙂

[dreamy hazel]

question is, what's better for the speed, 12 true cores @4,4ghz or 24 threads @4,0ghz? does it matter?

ik

[lusty trellis]

@dreamy hazel This usually is a question for the developers of the program, i.e. F@H devs.

[dreamy hazel]

fairs, just thought there might be someone here with that knowledge

[rich depot]

My AMD Vega 64 is waiting for like 12 hours now... is this normal?

[lusty trellis]

Optimizations in that factor can be done programmatically but they are hard so usually devs just do the easy bits to make sure they are covering a high % of the hardware

[gritty shale]

my guess is that 24 would be better, it doesnt seem to push each thread super hard which would make me think its not so difficult of a calculation that it needs the full performance of a core, and virtual cores are good enough

but thats purely conjecture

[dusk ruin]

This low mid high thing is not working, my computer is over heating with any of the settings

[gritty shale]

@dusk ruin change the number of working threads for your cpu

if cpu is whats overheating

if its gpu im not sure

sorry, the number of threads used

not work units

[dusk ruin]

Is is a gaming laptop

[gritty shale]

my bad, im kind of brain fried

[dusk ruin]

Not made to run CPU and gpu at full blast

But it is doing so with at low

[rich depot]

xD

[dusk ruin]

1 thread off CPU is still 50% ish according to task manager

[dreamy hazel]

so my cpu has just finished a WU within 30 minutes

[gritty shale]

maybe just run gpu alone and no cpu? or vice versa?

[dusk ruin]

With gpu alone CPU is still getting activity up to 30%

Gpu*

[dreamy hazel]

gpu has 2:30h to go

[small current]

Laptops now up and ready to fold

My internet dead

I am now on data

[dusk ruin]

I wish this thing have proper temperature management so I can comfortable leave this Thi g runnk giver night

[small current]

Test

Okay it's back

Only the 2g network

Good morning

Oh so that sends now

[dusk ruin]

What work is this Thig doing on the computer?

This is way hotter than me rendering

Which I do all the time on my laptop

[gritty shale]

its a totally different kind of problem

[small current]

I have an i7 7700hq a 1060 max q and an i3 6006u all ready to fold

But I am getting no jobs set

[gritty shale]

its less intense than some things, like running prime 95 or something, but less than some others

@small current its hard to get WUs right now

there are so many people folding now their servers cant keep up

[small current]

Ye

[lusty trellis]

Yeah hopefully LTT will make their own server to distribute more work

[gritty shale]

they have more than 10 times as many people folding over the course of a couple weeks

[lusty trellis]

Yeah but they need to make a video out of it 😄

[dreamy hazel]

cpu is idling now, too

[lusty trellis]

so chill 😉

[small current]

Ooooh the 6006u got a wu

[gritty shale]

im on attempt 8 to get a WU for my gpu

i cant even get an email for the identity thing

[small current]

I'm on 13 attempts for the good cpu

[gritty shale]

(didnt know that increased your point production)

even though ive been folding for years lol

[small current]

And 13 for the GPU as well

[dusk ruin]

I did not get that email as well

[dreamy hazel]

what does it mean when it says downloading?

[dusk ruin]

But I remembered that I had that pass key in my inbox from 2018

[small current]

It means it's trying to find work for you to do

[lusty trellis]

@dreamy hazel well it's downloading..

[dreamy hazel]

does that mean it found a WU though or nah?

[lusty trellis]

@dreamy hazel tail the logs 😉

[gritty shale]

its trying to find one

[dusk ruin]

So.. There's no % limit on the gpu I assume?

Can't say I want the gpu to run at half tilt

[small current]

Anyways I have school work to do

C ya

[dusk ruin]

Cause hitting proc 100 is no good

[lusty trellis]

@dusk ruin you can underclock it

[dusk ruin]

Well...

[lusty trellis]

but yeah would be nice as mine also

[dreamy hazel]

yep

30 mins

[lusty trellis]

hits 100% and chokes my firefox / desktop

[dreamy hazel]

ouch

idk, i'm not having any issues

[gritty shale]

starting tomorrow ill be setting up a dedicated folding machine, im pretty happy about that. just a 3.5 ghz 4 core and a 1070 but its osmething

[lusty trellis]

Also always leave a core to feed the GPU

[gritty shale]

heres a question

i show 3 things, even though my gpu hasnt done anything

the gpu is currently working on the download

[dreamy hazel]

my points per day with the gpu alone are on 450k, with cpu it's 750k

[gritty shale]

but that send keeps showing up although the gpu hasnt run

where did the "send" one come from?

[fierce steppe]

If it shows Download it means it's actually downloading a WU.
Check the logs tab and it should show the download progress. It might also be timing out if the servers are struggling

[lusty trellis]

@dreamy hazel depends on the project

[gritty shale]

and does that indicate an error

yea the download i know is normal

its the send thing im confused about

[lusty trellis]

Different projects wield different PPDs

[dreamy hazel]

woop woop, cpu got a new WU

[gritty shale]

becaues it didnt work on anything, whats it sending??

[fierce steppe]

Check the logs for why its failing to send.
Restarting your client might get it to try sending it again

[dreamy hazel]

ETA on CPU WU is 21 minutes

[lusty trellis]

The excitement of getting your PC to work hard... Endless days of staring at a screen program to small excitments.. this is what life became..

[dreamy hazel]

lolwut

[twin juniper]

when your pc is so shit that it doesn't even get a workload assigned 😎

[rotund flume]

especially when you help the bad virus which made italy lock theirselves down died

[dreamy hazel]

that's actually not your pc's fault glad

[rotund flume]

tru

[fierce steppe]

becaues it didnt work on anything, whats it sending??
@gritty shale 11758 has had known issues with failing to upload... When did you do that work unit?

Possible failure to upload completed WUs 11753 & 11758 to work servers 155.247.164.213 & 155.247.164.214.

[dreamy hazel]

their servers are so overloaded with the masses of folders that started recently, they're too slow in distributing work units (WUs) to the folders at home

@twin juniper

just wait, you'll get some eventually

[rotund flume]

their servers are so overloaded with the masses of folders that started recently, they're too slow in distributing work units (WUs) to the folders at home
@dreamy hazel yeah it takes me 30 attempts to be assigned a new wu

[twin juniper]

oh wow lol

[gritty shale]

@fierce steppe i dont think i ever did that WU. I had a work unit yesterday, that sent normally. then as ive been waiting today all of the sudden that send unit showed up

i think its an error

[fierce steppe]

Restart the client and see if it goes away

[gritty shale]

i just did but its still there...

[fierce steppe]

you exited fahclient.exe?

[gritty shale]

yea

[lusty trellis]

To be honest F@H team has lots of work to do. First get the work from the scientists, then attach it to their model, then slice and dice it to Work Units then upload it to servers to become available. On top of that maintain the infrastructure to make this all possible (and guard against security issues as we all know how dangerous Internet is) and try to extend it at the same time with the demand increasing by more than 1000%

[fierce steppe]

@gritty shale if your GPU is currently waiting on a work unit you can delete the GPU slot and then re-add it. That will dump the sending work unit

DONT DO IT if it's currently working on a GPU work unit as it will dump that too

[gritty shale]

its not, its just waiting. im trying that now

that send unit is there even with the gpu deleted

weird

[dreamy hazel]

on the other hand, isn't it a good thing that we're helping them so much that the bottleneck isn't the computing of stuff, but the distribution of stuff to compute?

[gritty shale]

definitely

[lusty trellis]

Yes, and no 😄

Because now F@H resources are dealing with expanding the infrastructure instead of other stuff

The best would be to be done gradually

[gritty shale]

true

[lusty trellis]

But it's not really how internet works with all the hype!

[dreamy hazel]

true, but that's temporary, too

[fierce steppe]

Temporary boost but there will definitely be people who start folding now for the first time who stick around for the long haul

[dreamy hazel]

👋

[fierce steppe]

LTT has a pretty good retention rate for folders, especially with members of the forum and discord

[lusty trellis]

Yes and lots who will leave in 1 week/ month

[dreamy hazel]

probably just until they get the next electricity bill

[lusty trellis]

and then they will have to scale down the infrastructure, i.e. more work 😛

[gritty shale]

hopefuilly some people stick around, but im sure a lot of people wont

but i hope that if they do expand, it will help them in the future anyway

[sleek lily]

Haven't really been keeping with chat. Do we know anything more about the collaboration between ltt and stanford for server/bandwidth capacity?

[lusty trellis]

Nope

[fierce steppe]

Yeah, lots either leave or scale back... But we always end up with more members than we had before. This can be shown in the monthly graph where you can see the peaks for F@H events we've had in the past where even after the event has ended we've still maintained an increased production...

[lusty trellis]

I think you will find out about it on their videos.

I wonder if the spikes are when Jake turned on the 1PC6Editors 😛

[gritty shale]

i doubt it

[fierce steppe]

6 editors 1 PC is a drop in the bucket compared to what the team can do as a whole

[dreamy hazel]

yep

[rain kraken]

It appears the Team can do feck all if the servers don't start handling the team 😄

[hushed bobcat]

If I had to take a guess 1PC 6 Editors would be about 13-14 Million PPD

assuming everything is working 100%

[warm vale]

umm i dont know about that unfortunately 450k without the bonus is pretty insane

[lusty trellis]

@hushed bobcat I think they said it on the video, no?

[fierce steppe]

LTT Team has had such a sharp rise in production that I can't even overlay the production graphs any more cause we're on a completely different scale 😄

[hushed bobcat]

did they? i dont remember

[rain kraken]

so i have only had WS come in and my CPU only, It was 1 hour for 10k i have not managed to work anything on my GPU yet 😭

never managed to download more than 1 "job"

[last imp]

Does anyone know when the LTT F@H server goes live?

[lusty trellis]

@last imp when they make a video 😄

[knotty pike]

I am having no problems my side with sending data to there sever but I am not running at full only medium.

[dreamy hazel]

my cpu keeps itself at 82°C

[rotund flume]

my i3 keeps it @ 68C peak

[dreamy hazel]

4ghz on 24threads is an okay throttle if you ask me

also only aircooled

second CPU WU done :3

[rotund flume]

I have about 40 mins to go on my first one
@meager hound 14 hrs on my 2nd one

[dreamy hazel]

and it received the next one immediately

splendid

[fierce steppe]

That's about as close as I can get it to match up

[knotty pike]

Well if any a spear power supply and hard drive and thermal pads I can get a second system up lol

[dreamy hazel]

wonder why my cpu keeps getting 20-30min workloads

while others apparently get huge ones, i mean, 14 hrs?

[fierce steppe]

Might be all that is available, though it used to be that after you finished a few basic projects if you did it quick enough you could receive bigger ones.
Not every system can process them fast enough to meet the deadline so they only sent them out to systems that could return units quickly

I'm not sure if they're still doing that at the moment though

[dreamy hazel]

oh i see

yeah, i was wondering if something like that was applicable

[slow socket]

Is a 660 ti good for folding?

[dreamy hazel]

definitely worth a shot, even if it's a bit older it adds up quickly

[slow socket]

Ok, ill soon have it online

[small current]

So I was folding

[dreamy hazel]

don't break your pc, insult

mine is pretty quiet, but i guess that's obvious for a dampened case

[fierce steppe]

Lol, cat is probably loving the nice warm box in your room

[dreamy hazel]

but damn, the exhaust air of my pc is warm

can't open my front

[small current]

Used silent wings 3 high RPM fans to replace the corsair ones on the AIO. Much more quiet (though don't move as much air)

[rotund flume]

a lil bit of context that i think might help
F@H recognize that there are a nvidia 820m on this machine, but on device manager it doesnt appear

[dreamy hazel]

got a Fractal Design Define S2 with 3 stock coolers; 2 in, 1 out

[fierce steppe]

@rotund flume did it fail immediately as it tried to start the work unit, or part way through like at 40%?

[rotund flume]

@rotund flume did it fail immediately as it tried to start the work unit, or part way through like at 40%?
@fierce steppe immediately

[glad flicker]

Where do we check the LTT stats?

[fierce steppe]

Reboot and Reinstall display drivers if it immediately failed

Where do we check the LTT stats?
@glad flicker https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=223518

[glad flicker]

Thanks @fierce steppe

[rotund flume]

ok, how do i fininshed the faulty project?

nvm its done

[fierce steppe]

I'm going to chuck on some tunes and go through the badge requests in a minute... If you qualify for a badge then put your request on the forum now with your extremeoverclocking stats link

[small current]

The laptop she sat on was the one that was getting no folding done as it was given no jobs

I have another one that is foldinh

But no

Sit on the one that I am doing my work on

[plain isle]

not getting any jobs for cpu

[fierce steppe]

not getting any jobs for cpu
@plain isle Pretty common problem at the moment. So many people folding not enough to go around. Just wait and it will start when it gets allocated a work unit

[plain isle]

ye i mean it took about 8 hours to complete one

[fierce steppe]

Depending on the CPU you have that might be what is expected

[dreamy hazel]

also appears to have different sizes of WUs available

[plain isle]

amd fx 8350 black edt

[fierce steppe]

Yeah, 8 hours would be about right then

[plain isle]

cnt buy better atm with this bloody lockdown

[fierce steppe]

most likely when the CPU temps refreshed

the exact frame you took the screenshot lol

[plain isle]

my temps hit about 50

[gritty shale]

i get a send error: faulty on that bogus WU from nowhere that wont send

is there any way to manually remove it?

[fierce steppe]

Deleting the GPU slot didn't remove it?

[gritty shale]

nope

even though when i add the gpu back, if i click on the gpu it highlights that WU as if it came from the gpu

[dreamy hazel]

@meager hound

[gritty shale]

Sending unit results: id:00 state:SEND error:FAULTY project:11758 run:0 clone:2015 gen:0 core:0x22 unit:0x0000000a9bf7a4d55e6d7714e172830c

[fierce steppe]

@dreamy hazel HWMonitor 🤢

[dreamy hazel]

???

[fierce steppe]

HWinfo64 > HWMonitor

[cosmic parcel]

Cant wait to let my Threadripper 3990x fold for the team

[sleek lily]

I wonder if the spikes are when Jake turned on the 1PC6Editors 😛
@lusty trellis
This is his stat page: https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=812302
Still having work unit issues themselves probably

it seems

[lusty trellis]

Ha!

[fierce steppe]

I actually think Jake forgot to put his passkey back in after they made the video 🤔

[sleek lily]

I mean, they're still getting points according to the stats page though

so don't think he forget

[fierce steppe]

You still get points, you just don't get the quick return bonus

[sleek lily]

oh right yeah

hmmm

[fierce steppe]

either he hasn't got the passkey in or he has a bunch of old work units that are timing out/sending as failed

[sleek lily]

surely he didn't forget.. Surely

[gritty shale]

so no idea on how to so no idea how to remove a WU manually?

or what a "faulty" error means?

[fierce steppe]

cause he's completing a normal number of work units, like 10-20 per update, he's just getting low points for it

[lusty trellis]

I don't get why the identified users get more points..

[fierce steppe]

There's a way to delete work units, uhh user data > local? > FAH > I think

thats not right 🤔

just reinstall

[gritty shale]

ill lose my cpu WU

[fierce steppe]

Yeah let that finish first

by the time CPU finishes maybe it will fix that stuck WU

[gritty shale]

im just afraid if it could be interfering with my gpu getting a WU

i mean i do have a "download" WU running as well

so hopefully not?

[knotty pike]

It might be worth a try don't run full try medium settings see if that helps on the sending of data. I am having no problems

[gritty shale]

i mean currently my cpu is only woirking at 55% even though i have 16 threads working

so there should be no issue with too many resources being used

usually it runs at like 95% but its been at 55% for a while, its weird

[small current]

Test

Okay it's just my pc that the internet died on

[dreamy hazel]

lul

[sour wyvern]

Hello!

[dreamy hazel]

my pc is the heater

[dapper hull]

yay i got a unit

[gritty shale]

my pc would be the heater if i could get a stupid WU

[sour wyvern]

Im having problems when folding, the download is not running

[dreamy hazel]

just wait

[placid furnace]

my GPU is 2% what would I have to do to make it any faster?

[forest belfry]

my pc fans go nuts when it's using CPU ... i tried all the folding power settings eh

[dreamy hazel]

distribution servers are overloaded @sour wyvern

[forest belfry]

what u guys do

[sour wyvern]

ty @dreamy hazel

[placid furnace]

fold all day fold all night

[wheat lynx]

my fans are always cranked

[gritty shale]

@placid furnace youre probably waiting for a WU

the servers are overloaded with requests

[placid furnace]

im not tho i have one rn

[gritty shale]

everyone is having trouble getting WUs

[placid furnace]

bruu

[gritty shale]

then idk

[placid furnace]

true

[gritty shale]

if youve made progress then idk what to do, if you havent made any progress then i would delete the gpu slot and then re add it

you will lose that WU

[hushed bobcat]

I feel lucky, i got WU for all CPU's and GPU's in 4 PC's

[gritty shale]

but at 2% you may be working on that WU for ages

[dapper hull]

that viewer isnt working

[placid furnace]

weird flex

[forest belfry]

currently the laptop is doing great ... i disabled turbo boost and undervolt the cpu to -80

[fierce steppe]

Viewer in FAH client 7.5.1 does not work on Windows.

[forest belfry]

same

[fierce steppe]

There's a github file that replaces the fahviewer.exe with a working version

https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1164541-ltt-folding-teams-emergency-response-to-covid-19/page/141/?tab=comments#comment-13397099

That has the link to the github for the fixed viewer for 7.5.1

[rotund flume]

the antiviruses flag fah as a threat
must be the fact that it uses your pc resources to do something for another computer

[fierce steppe]

Just extract the two files with 7zip and copy them in to the program files\fahclient folder

[rotund flume]

man, wish i could know this sooner to see what part of the c virus im helping at on my 1st wu

@meager hound ok, thats cool

here i go lads
one step closer to use my gpu power for good cause

[dapper hull]

the viewer just says "Connection: Trying"

[dreamy hazel]

i tried that spotty

now my advanced monitor runs in compatibility mode

[wheat lynx]

change the theeme to dark

[dreamy hazel]

yep lol, and if it worked I wouldn't mind at all

[sleek lily]

technically folding at home is an antivirus maker atm

[fierce steppe]

the viewer just says "Connection: Trying"
@dapper hull Did you replace the files with the github one?
Do you have a work unit that is currently folding?

Darklooks best theme

[sleek lily]

the antiviruses flag fah as a threat
must be the fact that it uses your pc resources to do something for another computer
@rotund flume
probably because the .exe isn't microsoft signed yet

i'm guessing

[fierce steppe]

now my advanced monitor runs in compatibility mode
@dreamy hazel its because fahclient.exe isnt running... If you tried to copy those files over while F@H was running it might have caused it to crash

should have mentioned you should exit F@H before you make changes to its files 😄

[dreamy hazel]

i closed it

[sour wyvern]

dont know if im doing the things well

[dreamy hazel]

fixed it by forcing an unexpected reboot

[warm vale]

in how many hours does XOC update?

[fierce steppe]

i closed it
@dreamy hazel you can restart it by running the hideconsole.exe in program files > fahclient if it happens again

in how many hours does XOC update?
@warm vale every 3 hours

[warm vale]

yea but whens the next update?

[fierce steppe]

Update: Current
03.24.20, 3am CDT
Time Now: 5:12 am
Next Run: 47 min

Tells you when the next update is up the top left of the page

[warm vale]

ohh ok nice

[fierce steppe]

don't ask me why it looks like a tesseract cause idk

[dreamy hazel]

looking nice

[fierce steppe]

Just one thing to keep in mind is the viewer can use a fair bit of GPU resources when it runs, so you might not want to keep it open all the time

[dreamy hazel]

it's so pretty though

[sleek lily]

@sour wyvern looks good. You just haven't received any work unites from the F&H servers. They're generating them as fast as possible

[sour wyvern]

@sleek lily many thanks, its been like this for like 1h

[sleek lily]

I know, same here all evening

[dreamy hazel]

happens

[sleek lily]

got 2 wu's this morning though

[gusty path]

Many hours waiting yepp

[sour wyvern]

;_;

[sleek lily]

their servers are overloaded, nothing we can do about it

[dreamy hazel]

they're working on it

[gusty path]

As well as the points not updating properly at all when you do get a workload

[dreamy hazel]

is that art or...

[gusty path]

Nah, we are just creating our own future destruction in the form of Skynet

[fierce steppe]

Folding proteins takes too long.
Killing all humans will cure diseases.

This is how it starts

[forest belfry]

💯

[dreamy hazel]

go, corona!

[hushed bobcat]

Won't animals still have diseases

[fierce steppe]

Its distributed across hundreds of thousands of PCs... We can't just turn it off

[dreamy hazel]

...i just nearly typed that into my conference chat at work

[forest belfry]

maybe u got a bigger load

[dreamy hazel]

protein foldings

[forest belfry]

try this tho

it dropped power but same ETA

[sour wyvern]

well, now im having a different error, 10053, a conection from the software to my computer is been cancelled

[dreamy hazel]

i got that a few times aswell, don't worry much about it, there are plenty of servers it can connect to

[forest belfry]

it's for temps

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dreamy hazel]

but your volume isn't :p

[fierce steppe]

well, now im having a different error, 10053, a conection from the software to my computer is been cancelled
@sour wyvern thats just server issue on their end. It should try reconnecting again in a minute

[forest belfry]

what's the status of fans ?

i meant gpu fans

[dreamy hazel]

✈️

[fierce steppe]

Alright boys are we going to beat Default at the next update again (35min time)?

[wheat lynx]

We are beating default last 24hrs

[forest belfry]

mine runs on ..... zero

and without water cooling

check my pic again

that was the point

didnt notice any difference from GPU oc

memory OC makes a lot of difference

[fierce steppe]

set it to always fold

[forest belfry]

"Could not get an assignment" 😫

[dreamy hazel]

just be patient wiki

[forest belfry]

both of my systems are doing nothing

[sour wyvern]

my gpu conected!!ç

[forest belfry]

might as well turn them off and let others do it ... until maybe linus host one of their servers

[sour wyvern]

but CPU is still loading

[dreamy hazel]

ive had 3 WUs today

just be patient

[forest belfry]

memory has boost ?

cpu oc is worth it ... gpu im not sure about it

we shall wait for the experts

[fierce steppe]

GPU core clock OC can show improvements, but if you push too hard it will become unstable and crash

Mem OC is pretty much a waste of time for folding

most hardcore folders will power limit their cards and undervolt in order to maximise efficiency

[serene swallow]

so, i started folding yesterday when i saw the video, and i found that it just wasnt working. everything i was setup properly, (i think), and it was running. this morning i turned on my pc and my cpu started folding, but my gpu (palit 1050) wasnt. now both have again stopped. is this because of something im doing wrong or are their servers overloaded?

[wheat lynx]

sounds like you're fine, just haven;t got work

[serene swallow]

ok

thats what i thought

[dreamy hazel]

their servers are overloaded, they just don't have enough to distribute to people

[forest belfry]

yup that's what i did with the laptop ... undervolted it's cpu and didnt bother to fold with it's GPU

@serene swallow go to logs

we all get this

Could not get an assignment

[fierce steppe]

In my experience CPU cores/threads trumps clock speed, and again you don't want to push any CPU OC high where it starts crashing or it starts drawing too much power...

But other CPUs may vary

[serene swallow]

i have an 8600k so thats ok

[forest belfry]

on both my laptop and ryzen pc ,,, it's using cores not threads .. as in 6 our of 12

[fierce steppe]

For me I would personally try undervolting my CPU as far as I can before worrying about overclocking it

[serene swallow]

yeah i got the could not get assignment

ok ill leave it on and wait then

[wheat lynx]

I had to undervolt my cpu to get acceptable temps when the gpus is running

[hazy moss]

Hi i have the problem, that my GPU (GTX 1070) says Paused: is waiting for idle although i turned On Idle of

[forest belfry]

tried to undervolt to the max i can get and crashed on -100

so set it back to -80

[wheat lynx]

unpause it @hazy moss

[forest belfry]

as for ryzen 3600X running on 4.2ghz at 1.27v

@hazy moss means it works when u leave the pc

[dreamy hazel]

didn't bother undervolting my pc, would have to undo it later on; also it runs fine with 4ghz on 24 threads

[fierce steppe]

I normally don't run my CPU (6700k) for folding just because it pales in comparison to my 1080Ti, but I've got a pretty aggressive undervolt atm and keeps temps under 60C with GPU & CPU running

[hazy moss]

I can pause it then it says Paused:by user but when i press fold it says Pause:is waiting for idle again

[forest belfry]

yeah we cant undervolt a GPU

yeah

[fierce steppe]

Power limiting Nvidia cards works really well

[forest belfry]

they're already more efficient

[fierce steppe]

I use a few profiles for my card.
For when I'm sleeping I use a profile with 70% power limit, 65C target temp, and I think 60% fan speed

[hazy moss]

@forest belfry yeah i know it would start when the pc is idle but i want it turned an all the time

[fierce steppe]

PPD estimate drops from 1.5M down to about 1.3M so its not a huge drop in performance considering

[forest belfry]

remove the check from On Idle

[hazy moss]

i did

[wheat lynx]

pause then unpause

[forest belfry]

is it set to full ?

[hazy moss]

my cpu is alredy running

[wheat lynx]

yes

pause then unpause

cpu will quickly resart and hopefully your gpu too

[dreamy hazel]

would like the option to get a little tone whenever something "interesting" happens in the client

[fierce steppe]

Has everyone entered the forums folding event contest?

[dreamy hazel]

e.g. a WU being finished or a new one starting

[fierce steppe]

https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1164541-ltt-folding-teams-emergency-response-to-covid-19/

[forest belfry]

well it's supposed to run in background

[wheat lynx]

I!

[hazy moss]

i got it now. The GPU does not start when i set it to light Folding power

[dreamy hazel]

yeah, the optino would be nice

[wheat lynx]

its gonna be hard to hit 500k with the lack of wu's

[forest belfry]

@hazy moss exactly

that's why i told u to set it to full

[fierce steppe]

its gonna be hard to hit 500k with the lack of wu's
@wheat lynx Depending on the situation the requirements may be changed, so don't worry about that

[knotty pike]

My question how do you get your status up in the proton view ?

[fierce steppe]

Viewer is broken in windows

[forest belfry]

@knotty pike it takes long time

[knotty pike]

Oh okay

[forest belfry]

usually a day

[warm vale]

WUs will come, just gotta be patient ^^

[knotty pike]

Well they crouch the numbers they recon it kill a 1 million people over here C-19

[fierce steppe]

I think reported deaths are currently around 14k worldwide last I heard

but that will obviously increase

[wheat lynx]

rn it's confirmed in the next county over from me, so that fun

county, not country

[wintry zinc]

i wanted to add something to the conversation but got censored mentioning a place, so nvm

[trail night]

My pc been folding for the past 5 days straight on max gpu/cpu overclocked. No crazy temps nothing over 70°c. But does pc’s need like to “rest” or stop for some reason so it does not damage?

[wheat lynx]

@small current pause and restart

As long as temps are fine it won't need to "rest"

[hallow tiger]

@trail night Nope - they work like a machine 😉

[wheat lynx]

@trail night rest. no, but pushing too much voltage could cause degredation

over long periods of time

[trail night]

Thank you. Keep folding then!

[hallow tiger]

@trail night Consider running at base clocks and it'll run foreeeeveeeer

With not much loss in throughput

[rotund flume]

anybody has any idea on my problem?

[wheat lynx]

config issue?

[trail night]

I mean cpu base it’s 3.9 im at 4.2 nothing to crazy

[rotund flume]

@wheat lynx maybe, i set all value at -1

[wheat lynx]

set your gpu's to cuda instead of opencl

try that

[fierce steppe]

What? lol

[hallow tiger]

@trail night If you're manually setting he CPU/GPU voltages then you could be running under the stock voltages with a mild OC, in which case you're doing better than stock so....

[rotund flume]

keep opencl value at -1? @wheat lynx

[wheat lynx]

nvmd, i cant read

[rotund flume]

[hallow tiger]

Whoa - something happened ....

[wheat lynx]

you could try deleting the gpus and readding them

[hallow tiger]

I' just got back-to-back WU and my second PC also kicked into life.

[fierce steppe]

Noice

[hallow tiger]

Has LTT just switched on their F@H server or something? LUL

[fierce steppe]

Nope

[wheat lynx]

my secondary server is at 24 atempts

[fierce steppe]

Apparently they're assigning 123,000 work units per hour

[trail night]

Im getting works non stop.

Both cpu and gpu

[wheat lynx]

every 12hrs for me it swaps between cpu wu's and gpu wu's i get

[fierce steppe]

I've been pretty lucky today. Over night not so much, had like 7 hours waiting 😦

[wheat lynx]

oop, my secondary got one

[rotund flume]

ok, setting cuda core index to 0 on my gpu wu, lets see if it works

[wheat lynx]

you jsut complain then it workes

[dreamy hazel]

this line is interesting

[fierce steppe]

I get that error message as well 🤷‍♂️

[dreamy hazel]

I also had 3 WUs in a row for my cpu this morning, but now have been waiting for the next for about an hour /shrug

gpu is still on its first WU

it didn't abort the WU

[fierce steppe]

@dreamy hazel what does the Next Attempt: time show in the advanced control?

yeah it doesn't seem to affect anything

RIP stats
Latest update reporting 0 😦

[dapper hull]

what is tpf?

[fierce steppe]

time per fold

[dreamy hazel]

my gpu WU was 3hrs at start

[wheat lynx]

the extreme overclocking site is almost up to date, while the official is broken

[fierce steppe]

If the Next Attempt: time when waiting for a WS Assignment blows out to a few hours then pause the client, wait a few seconds then click Fold to resume it. It'll reset that timer

[dreamy hazel]

no such issue

[fierce steppe]

The wait between checks gets progressively longer so if it fails to get an assignment a bunch of times it ends up waiting hours between checks

[dreamy hazel]

it just continued with the WU right after

[fierce steppe]

Its only if you're waiting to get a WU

[dreamy hazel]

oic

[coarse citrus]

ive been having luck with my bios flashed 2080ti but im still power limited so after this WU finishes im flashing this BIOS

I know

[silver wing]

oh the 0 point update?

[dreamy hazel]

web control isn't loading for me :D

[trail night]

How do you see that? @fierce steppe

[wheat lynx]

thats an issue

[fierce steppe]

How do you see that? @fierce steppe
@trail night https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=223518

It's just an issue with EOC not updating, the points are still there they will [hopefully] be credited in the next update in 3 hours

[wheat lynx]

ive had it break in incognito

[fierce steppe]

use firefox

[wheat lynx]

where I have no control cuz my main system doesn't work with advanced

[dreamy hazel]

shows 0 points, is that normal?

/ to be expected?

[wheat lynx]

no, but the dev has been furiously fixing and breaking things

daily

[dreamy hazel]

fair point

[wheat lynx]

they take a bit

[dreamy hazel]

only started 3hrs ago

[burnt orbit]

My error is just could not get an assignment, because all this horde of new users.

[trail night]

WebControl never works smh

[burnt orbit]

So @dreamy hazel that is probably why you wont get points

You can check it in the logs tab, inside the app

[dreamy hazel]

read something about that it may take a while

before i can actually start gathering points

i've shipped a few WUs

[wheat lynx]

advanced control doesn't work for me. loads, throws error 997 and diconnects almost immediately

[burnt orbit]

Oof

[pallid cedar]

WebControl just constantly refreshes for me with no info is that samae as you have @trail night ?

[dreamy hazel]

incognito mode @pallid cedar

[odd barn]

Goooood morning folders

[trail night]

@pallid cedar Yeah lol

[fierce steppe]

use incognito mode or firefox

[trail night]

There u go

thanks

lol

[pallid cedar]

Ah that worked ta

[trail night]

modern problems require modern solutions

lol

[pallid cedar]

Ok one other thing. I'm seldom inactive/idle so I've just set it to low all the time. However it doesn't utulise the GPU only the CPU is there a way around this? I'm usually on the desktop during the day working so the GPU is mostly idle and it's wasted 🙂

[odd barn]

Nope. Sometimes there are CPU work units, sometimes there are GPU work units and sometimes you get lucky and get both

[pallid cedar]

Right so it's the work type not a application issue?

[odd barn]

it depends on what work the servers have available at the time since everyone is folding and the processing power has doubled tenfold

[silver wing]

@fierce steppe Dunno what happen with EOC, my stats data is fine

[odd barn]

Yeah, definitely not an application issue

[pallid cedar]

Super, thanks mate.

[fierce steppe]

The guy behind EOC has been tweaking stuff today so that probably broke it

"doubled tenfold" hold up

[silver wing]

But I have to say the data files and processing time has gotten WAY WAY bigger in the last 24 hours

[fierce steppe]

I have noticed that it has taken 10-15min for the user data to update

[dreamy hazel]

gpu finished its WU

[silver wing]

Guess that must be why he's been tweaking

[dire linden]

my first fold 😄

[odd barn]

They've scaled up their Azure servers

[wheat lynx]

noice

[fierce steppe]

He posted a news update on the main page about what he was tweaking.
https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/

[silver wing]

Our team alone has gone from 12k active folders to 36k in that 24 hour ish period

[odd barn]

That's a great thing, isn't it?

[fierce steppe]

Hell yeah

[wheat lynx]

LTT today has done more than default

[fierce steppe]

Not so good for F@H servers though 😄

[odd barn]

....I have a question

How much is 470 PetaFLOPS....

[trail night]

I dont understand how PPD works, my CPU is ready and my GPU its working, So my GPU alone its making 3 million points a day?

[odd barn]

That sounds like a LOT lol.

[fierce steppe]

OMFG a 30 second unskippable spotify ad that is at 6000% volume MAKE IT STOP

I don't care about some chinese guys dream music

[odd barn]

PPD is an estimate based on getting the same WU over and over again for the same device that is folding

if you have two devices working on WU's, that number doubles

it's a tentative number

[wheat lynx]

470 PetaFLOPS is more powerful than the top 7 supercomputers combined

[silver wing]

It's more than 470 now and would be way higher if all systems could actually get WU

[odd barn]

I wonder if Linus' server he's getting from F@H will actually help them out

But I feel like we're gonna saturate that too

[dreamy hazel]

it'll help a bit

[trail night]

just a bit

[wheat lynx]

fairly sure he's making it himself

[odd barn]

But that isn't a complaint from me

[silver wing]

But more importantly LTT team is higher than 100TFLOP so we are 2nd place top 500

[dreamy hazel]

we're probably still going to saturate it

[fierce steppe]

It should help, but it will take time to deploy... You can't roll out a server over night

[odd barn]

laughs in AWS @fierce steppe

[wheat lynx]

at least a good one of this caliber

[fierce steppe]

that's cheating 😛

[odd barn]

Hehe

I don't know the exact specs of the servers intended to help F@H, but if I had the Business fiber connection that Linus has, damn sure I would have helped them out too.

[fierce steppe]

Even the Azure F@H servers are down

[odd barn]

Are they?

[fierce steppe]

1 down 3 up

*1 down 2 up

[odd barn]

Ah. Because I have a WU from an azure server rn

[dreamy hazel]

maybe if Linus went absolutely insane, got a 400gbit/s internet connection running to it and make the entire distribution configuration as balls to the wall as possible, he might be able to help them enough so that there's less of a bottleneck

[odd barn]

Don't think Telus has an internet connection that crazy

[dreamy hazel]

my guess :D

[fierce steppe]

When you're working a WU the server doesn't matter, you don't connect to it. It's only when downloading and submitting that you connect to the servers
(thankfully or we'd never get any WUs completed)

[odd barn]

there'd be a LOT of pair bonding if he did

[dreamy hazel]

nope, not really

[fierce steppe]

Just a giant undersea cable running right in to LMG HQ

[dreamy hazel]

400gbits is only a number i hear from our datacenter lul

[odd barn]

Uh

[dreamy hazel]

internally only afaik

[odd barn]

Telus does NOT have anything like that lmao

[wheat lynx]

internally probably

[odd barn]

I live in Canada and can tell you Linus is getting ripped off for the price he's paying Telus for their business fiber connection

#JustCanadaThings

[coarse citrus]

done with fold #3

[wheat lynx]

in iowa, with mediacom in a small city, its bout $60 for 60Mb

[dreamy hazel]

i'm in germany and pay 30 bucks for just 400mbit/s down and 40mbit/s up

[thick holly]

If I am running two computers is there a way to see both of their stats combined?

[silver wing]

Dunno about that, the connect LMG has in to VANIX isn't ya bog standard good business connection

[odd barn]

It's as if Telus gave him his own dedicated connection

[silver wing]

Not that he needs it

[queen aurora]

@dreamy hazel vodafone/unity docsis works fine 🙂

[odd barn]

But the backend really looks the same

[dreamy hazel]

ye

[small current]

Hey who pinged me

[odd barn]

Can't remember if it was 10Gbit or 40GBit he got

[small current]

Who did it

[dreamy hazel]

he said it was 10

[fierce steppe]

10g

[odd barn]

Okay that makes sense

[dreamy hazel]

you can search for mentions of your name, felaneous

this is discord

[fierce steppe]

this is patrick

[wheat lynx]

roger that

[paper locust]

my system is way under-cooled.

[silver wing]

10G to VANIX, 5.5G transit/international

[odd barn]

That's really not bad

[wheat lynx]

not bad meaning great

[fierce steppe]

But they did mention they are likely going to deploy the server off-site

[dreamy hazel]

not terrible at least

for a company connection

[odd barn]

Well I'll put it into retrospect. A lot of internet providers running FTTH to businesses / homes are cheaping out on hardware

[silver wing]

But the difference is the direct path to VANIX, that makes all the difference compared to a regular business plan from an ISP

[wheat lynx]

offsite to prevent an IP leak of sorts

[fierce steppe]

Well at least it's not FTTN 😢

[odd barn]

At least in Canada they're screwing around with it unless you have a business connection

[coarse citrus]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/691788185986007051/691966385412243516/unknown.png yeah my rig gets pretty toasty doing just gpu folding

60C cpu 45c gpu

[wheat lynx]

water?

[small current]

Do you think I should oc my gpi

Gpu

[coarse citrus]

yeah full custom loop

[small current]

It's is around 70 when folding

I think I should oc

[dreamy hazel]

on air, my gpu hits 72°C and my cpu hits 82°C

[paper locust]

my CPU is suspect

[silver wing]

Most country's ISP suck, it;s just a matter of how much lol

[wheat lynx]

nah @small current

[odd barn]

Lead, you live in Canada or elsewhere?

[fierce steppe]

tbh I actually like my ISP

[silver wing]

NZ

[small current]

K

[fierce steppe]

It's the NBN that sucks lol

[odd barn]

Gotcha

[silver wing]

Aus is competing for worst place lol

[wheat lynx]

Mediacom i almost my only option, thank goodness it isn't absolutely terrible

[paper locust]

161 C 🔥

[thick holly]

This channel goes by so fast 0.o

[fierce steppe]

Aus is competing for worst place lol
@silver wing Nah, it's okay mate. 5G will fix everything.... /s

[odd barn]

I don't know if this is standard practice anywhere but I'll share with you what one provider is doing

[dreamy hazel]

without unitymedia I would be stuck with Telekom 16mbit/s and vectoring

[odd barn]

AFAIK, GPON is used in FTTH in Ontario which splits 1 main fiber to up to 32 houses, sharing 2.5Gb/s of downstream bandwidth. Wouldn't this cause a huge bottleneck if everyone is downloading simultaneously? - This is for a company called Bell

[fierce steppe]

That's common

[silver wing]

@odd barn is it RFC 2549?

[dreamy hazel]

yep, sadly

[thick holly]

I will ask in the forum

[coarse citrus]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/550510187824414740/689608717280346263/image1.jpg heres my loop and my rig hits 80c cpu and 45c gpu folding full bore

with OC

[odd barn]

Unfortunately I don't have that information

[wheat lynx]

maybe, but having fiber is something of a luxury compared to what most is

[silver wing]

@odd barn GPON is standard and is actually the best way to deliver fast internet

FTTH GPON is used here to and is excellent service and speed

[wheat lynx]

Who else is coaxial gang?

[dire linden]

in gpon normal thread is split among 48 others

[silver wing]

coax sucks

[knotty pike]

Fibre is expensive over here still

[raven whale]

am i wasting effort for folding without a passkey? im still waiting for the email and i already finish like 4 of them and it still say 0 points earned

[dire linden]

or so

[odd barn]

Gotcha

[dire linden]

but it's not the best

[wheat lynx]

Should i get DSL?

[knotty pike]

I am on LTE

[rich depot]

COAX isnt so bad in implemented right tbf

if*

[wheat lynx]

doubt you could get fiber if you wanted to, other than a stupid high installation price

[odd barn]

There are quite a few people here complaining after getting fiber saying their 1Gbps connection is only averaging 180Mbps and I'm like that sounds like a really big bottleneck, but we don't know how many people are sharing the same network with them

[wheat lynx]

56Mb down is fine

[fierce steppe]

am i wasting effort for folding without a passkey? im still waiting for the email and i already finish like 4 of them and it still say 0 points earned
@raven whale Whats your folding username?
Stats are taking a while to update at the moment.

Check your spam folder for your key and if its been >24 hours try requesting it again

[odd barn]

We're getting Fiber ran to the home for free

[rich depot]

Unfortunately most don't implement it very well

[odd barn]

We just have to pay the setup fee which is like $149

[wheat lynx]

and you need 10 wu's for the passkey to give boost, so do it in the meantime

[odd barn]

All the trenching and construction is paid for by the ISP

[dire linden]

gpon works when there isnt too big workload, as you can get 1/1 gbit connection but it's shared among 48 users after the box, let's say under the apartment building.

[raven whale]

@fierce steppe 4RealGeek

[silver wing]

GPON only sucks when you over provision the cabinet trunk

[odd barn]

Lead, that's exactly what's happening

[silver wing]

and that's true for all connection types

[rich depot]

@silver wing Which is true for any connection type tbf

[dire linden]

when there's too much usage like now u wont reach the speeds

[silver wing]

actually not a GPON thing

[odd barn]

Sadly, I'm on coax because that's the only way I can get a good speed

[rich depot]

I get 350Mbit over CAX and it works fine

[odd barn]

They didn't do pair bonding for DSL at my house, but they did for the rest of the street

[wheat lynx]

the nearest fiber i beleive is 6o miles away at the Des Moines junction

[silver wing]

We're upgrading to 10GPON soon 🙂

[odd barn]

noice

We're still in our infancy with 1/2.5 looks like

OH, it gets better

The modems they send to be used, their ethernet ports only support 1.0Gbps, but they offer a 1.5Gbps plan

[dire linden]

i'm luckz enough my apartment doesnt use gpon, so my cable isn't shared with 46 others 😛 altho i got 300/100 speeds, i'm not made out of money xD

[odd barn]

and people are wondering why they're not getting those speeds

[silver wing]

The other 0.5 is on the wifi 😉

[fierce steppe]

@fierce steppe 4RealGeek
@raven whale I can see you credited with 1 WU so far for 9,405 points.
It is taking a long time to update stats though so it might be a bit behind what you've earned.
https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/4RealGeek

[odd barn]

lmao

Thankfully there are people who found the VLAN's for internet and all that, so a lot of them who can take advantage of this are just VLAN tagging and using their own consumer / prosumer hardware

[dire linden]

i worked in tech suppport at my isp and set my own internet and static ip 😄 who else? xD

[raven whale]

@fierce steppe ty

[fierce steppe]

The modems they send to be used, their ethernet ports only support 1.0Gbps, but they offer a 1.5Gbps plan
@odd barn At least it supports gigabit... I've seen ISPs offer routers with only 100mbps ethernet ports

[odd barn]

Yikes

[dreamy hazel]

oof

[silver wing]

Or 1Gbps ports with 500Mbps switching and NAT capability

[fierce steppe]

They would be like the "Free, included with your plan when you sign up for 24 months" sort of wifi routers though.

[dreamy hazel]

yeah, common to just purchase an own router/modem/switch i suppose

[odd barn]

If I do get FTTH, definitely switching all my gear to ubiquiti

[dire linden]

yeah we also had old routers with 100mpbs, and complaints, but field technicians should know to install proper ones haha ... human error

just got this on my gpu wu, dont know why
gpu is geforce 820m no oc, the only thing i changed is set cuda_index to 0

[silver wing]

mikrotik hEX would be a better choice

[odd barn]

I'll keep that in mind

a lot of people have mentioned mikrotok

[silver wing]

ubnt ERLite is kinda meh for advance configs

[odd barn]

The model that was recommended to me to work with this bypass was a Mikrotik Cloud Router Switch

CRS125-24G-1S-2HnD-IN That was the model

[dreamy hazel]

i find it annoying that the router i got is so "end-user friendly" that I can't adjust stuff like the DNS server...

[wheat lynx]

ouch

[dreamy hazel]

interface doesn't look like it's older than windows xp though, i guess that's their selling point - still annoying

[odd barn]

Aight I gotta go pick up some stuff, will ttyl

[green monolith]

my poor Dell R720 drawing 602 watts folding

[wheat lynx]

600 watts, that's a bit

[green monolith]

GTX 1660Ti also used

[silver wing]

would be nice to use as little as 600W

[green monolith]

well if i put my other servers online, i'd blow breakers

[wheat lynx]

mine pulls under 200w, with 550k PPD

[silver wing]

just put in a 290X, you'll pass 600W easy 🙂

[fierce steppe]

295X2

[silver wing]

or like me have 2

[wheat lynx]

ouch

[silver wing]

800W ftw

[wheat lynx]

what the current climate in NZ?

[silver wing]

autumn

so roll dice

[wheat lynx]

sounds like Iowa all year

[green monolith]

@silver wing sent you a DM

[wheat lynx]

its been 60f for weeks but it snowed 2 days ago

[gusty path]

34 attempts 0 WU for my poor 1080

[wheat lynx]

you reset after an hour?

[gusty path]

Just got to the PC with it

So I just reset it

[wheat lynx]

ouch

[gusty path]

did 2 more attemps and nothing

Poor thing

Sitting idle with no work for months now

[wheat lynx]

1 of my cpu's has sat dry for 12 hrs now, but the gpu and other machine have ahd work

[gusty path]

CPU and GPU 1 of this rig has not gotten any WU's since I started the program

[silver wing]

What do we want? WUs. When do we want them? Now.
