Got a question
Ive asked it before but, how do I view the web panel for FAH when using it on Ubuntu Server?
hushed bobcat
if i recall
there is a config file you have to modify to set up remote access
i think its in /etc
set stuff like allowed IPs (or an entire subnet)
password
uhh
i know their is more but it escapes me
slim mortar
@hushed bobcat Youre the same guy that responded to me before
Only stuff in config
hushed bobcat
I think you have to add the lines
If I recall I set it up once in the gui and just copied it over to new installs
hushed bobcat
@slim mortar i just looked in my config folder on my windows folding client and they have a sample config
bottom 2 are granting remote FAHControl and Remote Web Access
pretty sure you need both?
slim mortar
This might only be for windows
hushed bobcat
im pretty sure the config parameters are the same
slim mortar
I'll try
FAH is not very clear on this and if they really wanna expand on this, they need to give more information
Hold on
Thats a bit weird,
The whole config file is showing up now
Maybe I looked at a different config file
hushed bobcat
maybe you found the example config?
slim mortar
Not sure
hushed bobcat
there is also a folder called config
slim mortar
This time I didnt start FAH automatically
hushed bobcat
with a bunch of configs with numbers attached
slim mortar
I killed FAH after I had installed it
But now that I didnt automatically start it, I guess this is why
Works
hushed bobcat
nice
slim mortar
Nice
hushed bobcat
no team 😦
slim mortar
I like how I blurred my name out last time but now I forgot to
I dont really care
Yeah no team
Fine, Ill join 223518
Are you proud of me
placid goblet
You have to fold more to send points to LTT
slim mortar
Really? Didn't know
placid goblet
They don't transfer
hushed bobcat
hushed bobcat
also Dom you should look into the Dark web control
placid goblet
So really slow, but still
hushed bobcat

X to doubt
hushed bobcat
well maybe first reported to Folding Lar Systems
slim mortar
Probably
hushed bobcat
that data only gets sent if you use the chrome extension
hushed bobcat
do you have it?
slim mortar
Well I am never gonna show
I am using an Ubuntu Server so I dont think I can get a chrome extension
hushed bobcat
you just need it on the web
so however you are accessing the remote web control
just do that but on chrome with the extension
kinda sucks it has to be up all the time though, otherwise it cant send the results data
hushed bobcat
hmm
slim mortar
Ive also been folding on an old pc these past few weeks so I got the extension on there
hushed bobcat
dual core pentium
hushed bobcat
well usage is just going to be based on the number of threads
since you have 2 threads assigned and a dual core Pentium its going to use everything it can
though light might lower the priority in windows?
also you should probably put the old pc on the team too
hushed bobcat
well i always go full
light just disables GPU and only runs while not active i think
so medium or full
and if you need to do something intensive on the pc i just manually pause or finish
slim mortar
light just disables GPU and only runs while not active i think
Theres no GPU and its ran separately from my main pc

Heh. I’m running folding@home on my 2015 Macbook Air and it has sustained 100-103 degree temps consistently for the last 24 hours lmao

hushed bobcat
Doesn't the Air use the chassis to dissipate heat?
I don't think it even has a fan
I could be thinking about something else though
primal haven
Doesn't the Air use the chassis to dissipate heat?
yes and no
only the most recent M1 model has no fan
However, earlier models have a single fan with a single heatpipe running to a tiny radiator in front of the blower fan

Hi, I have a few boinc-related questions.
First, is there an LTT team like there is for folding, and how do I join it?
Secondly, why can’t I join the World Community Grid project?
(just fyi the Macbook above isn’t my only folding/BOINC PC, and it is one of the least powerful I have. My main, and also home-use/gaming PC is a 12700KF/16GB DDR5/3070 overclocked)
humble rover
@primal haven LTT has teams for most of the active projects (or whatever we've done during the boinc event) but as these are project specific you'll have to search linustechtips_team or something similar. WCG is currently doing a server migration so no work has been distributed since end of feb and likely won't be back online until the end of the month.
primal haven
Plus I have some office PCs on 4th and 6th gen quad-core i5 systems

oh neat, I thought I heard something about a server migration. Thanks so much for clearing that up 🙂
I gave one system to my sister, because she needed a more powerful computer and it was her birthday New Years, but I’m in the process of setting up a formidable folding array lol
Every halfway decent PC I find in ewaste goes into the Wall of Towers lmao, most I find are HP Elitedesks or similar.
unfortunately the wall of towers is only at 4 members 😦

Good on the WCG team for posting more frequent news, has been quite interesting to catch up on
But then theres this 😔
All compounds ordered thus far are being tested, and internally we are happy with the data we're receiving and excitedly planning next steps. However, our major collaborator for purchasing compounds is Enamine, based in Kyiv (https://enamine.net/). Current geopolitical events have obviously impacted their ability to provide compounds. We hope for their safety throughout the conflict, and encourage you to check out their twitter (@EnamineLtd) if you're interested.

shouldn't be, also i would consider turning off CPU folding @opal nest
hushed bobcat
also it works on my 1650 which is a suprise
gtx 1650?
if so what CPU are you folding on?
delicate mica
I was folding on 5950X @ 4.6 GHz all core and it only yields like 500k PPD
hushed bobcat
only? I had 2 8 core 16 thread Xeons going and it was like 220-250k PPD

does anyone use Science united or another account manager with BOINC?

Version 2.0 has just hit the Chrome Extension Store and is PUBLIC!
NEW - Timer (Time of Use) shifting allows you to set a time to start folding and finish folding so you can fold at off peak power usage times or to manage seasonal heat.

I had issues with boinc and folding in the past where it wouldn't turn my screen back on sometimes. It lead me to never fold again. anybody else have this issue? and is it gone now
I'd like to fold again with my cpu

Can't say I've had that specific issue, most of the time its related to the built in screensavers or some other resource allocation. Would help if we knew what hardware you're contributing

Oops looks like the team forgor to sign up for boinc pentathlon this year 😂 I'll probably still continue SiDock for the time being until WCG is back up, but if anyone wants to follow along with the event (the rest announced later):

I can't wait until I have a test rig new enough to GPU fold again, BOINC is so weird

While we continue working hard to restart WCG as soon as possible, we want to provide an update on the current status. We are currently facing unexpected issues with the load balancer - a small but critical component that ensures science servers will cope with increased workloads. If we do not resolve this in time, it would prevent us from restarting on May 9th. We will provide an update on the result of our efforts to resolve the issue Sunday evening.
Summer folding sprint soon

Aha should mention its in CAD, but on paper it looks only moderately faster than a 1080? dunno if its worth the hassle but the cards from the titan xp era are neat to own
I have a vega 64 and waterblock sitting in storage I might play around with
hushed bobcat
Quadros are usually a bit more power efficient than GeForce cards though right?
Also they are made to run 100% 24/7
humble rover
I suppose so yeah more efficient but less draw/clk speed overall
hushed bobcat
but for folding that doesnt really matter though?

welcome to the team
personally i dont like folding on Laptops, 99% of the time they just aren't made for sustained high load
polar shell
true, but i have a fairly high performance cooling solution, and gpu, so i figured why not while i sleep perhaps
shoould be fine if temps stay good right?

The revised date for launch will be May 24th, 2022, after Victoria day.
Finally, we were able to test BOINC client connections to our servers from newly created/registered accounts. While we were able to contact the BOINC scheduler and check for available workunits, we are now diagnosing a failure to validate the project key that occured in some cases.
On the server side, we were able to verify the flow of data from our research partners into the workunit management layer in our stack. Thus, this part is fully validated, and will proceed smoothly upon restart. We continue to assess readiness of the workunit management stack for launch together with the website.
Thank you

what is folding and boinc, just a quick rundown
polar shell
what is folding and boinc, just a quick rundown
They're programs that use your computer's cpu or gpu for research
Ik folding utilizes it for prion folding research, which helps scientists understand how various diseases work to help develop a cure
I assume boinc is similar
prisma saddle
BOINC is really just a client that can be used for a lot of different project. The BOINC client itself just provides the functionality to communicate to subscribed projects, download workunits and make sure to execute these in a secure manner
Folding@Home uses their own client that is not based on BOINC
keen field
Basically it runs simulations of atoms which make up proteins which do things
:D
Kinda late to the party I guess but yeah

While I wish WCG downtime was vacation time for all of us in the lab, in reality it's been crunch time as we try to work through all of the models you all have generated and gear up toward the reopening of the firehose of data that is the WCG.
...
All of this is to say, while we know volunteers have been itching to get started again, from the perspective of the science this is perfectly timed, and we're excited to catch the next wave of data you send our way.

Latest news about the status of World Community Grid (from the official forum of the project):
Hi everyone,
Since many of you have been asking for minor updates to stay informed about the current state of WCG, here is what the team has been working on.
Recent efforts to restart have been unsuccessful. You may have noticed in your BOINC client some messages from the scheduler, which was a byproduct of the successful steps in the restart procedure. However, we have been unable to queue workunits packaged for distribution to clients into the primary scheduler node and are working to resolve what is hopefully the final blocking issue to workunit distribution. We have identified as a result of this issue an opportunity to create a more efficient queue to allocate and distribute work among volunteer devices, which we will release in a future update. but it has been taking time to implement.
Happy Independence Day to all of the American crunchers!
