Anyone know what animal causes these type of tracks?   LoL My neighbour called me late last night... Said she saw some of these on my shed roof.. Among my answers I suggested...Reindeer?  (you can clearly see the shape of footware in the half circle)

Bloody 30day default  AnyWAY... When I install FAH Client I add an exception in the antivirus for the folders it uses. Are we supposed to do the same for the Boinc Manager?  I ask cause it just suddenly occurred to me, that maybe I should...thoughts? Knowledge? Whatever works for you...lol

I don't seem to need to do that for either. If the AV program is not bothering folding or crunching why bother?

No... FAH it is to be exempted.. This I know or it COULD cause errors in results, that don't show as errors but change the results..alter answers which affects research Kapish? Read it in the Folding forum years ago bill1024 you should be, for folding definitely! https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/installation-guides/windows/requirements/?lng=enLast paragraph on the link above and more strongly worded at the FAH forum We suggest configuring antivirus software to exclude the FAH client directory and especially the Work directory from the antivirus scanning list. This can be done by going into the exclusion list panel that every antivirus should have. The work subdirectory contains semi-random binary data and can confuse overly aggressive heuristic virus scanning.

Interesting, they do suggest and don't say you must. And they say it can and not it always will. IA little too muck OC and a task fails I have a hard time believing it can fail from AV and not throw an error.
But either way I do not run any antivirus in Linux and Linux is all I fold with. Plus I hardly ever fold anymore anyway.
From what I understand any work unit I turn in today will not even be looked at for another 20 to 25 years they are so far ahead not expecting all the hardware thrown at it.
It is student run program at a college and computers go offline on a weekend and stay off until the students come in on Monday. In the Summer, fugitaboutit.
BOINC I use Linux and windows, and with windows just what ever MS gives us for free. Not sure if there even is any settings.
I say don't worry about it in BOINC as do as you see fit in folding. Kapish?

It was more of a question concerning Boinc since it is an expected procedure in folding.... Remember...I Know nothing!

Just had a thought..
I have a few 2060's that I was considering setting up in a computer to do crunching..
When you turn the option to GPU always...is gpu crunching local only? ....or does it affect your global (all machine) web preferences?

If you're referring to the BOINC Manager option under "Activity -> Use GPU always", then this is specific to your locally running BOINC client only.

So I was watching Star Trek Picard Season 3 Episode 4 and he is talking near the end of the episode and he is recalling what he said to a bunch of young Star Fleet Cadets in a bar... You're only ever really as good as those around you.It really touched me because I have been saying the very same thing for years about all of you.. Thank you for helping to make me look good.

I found if I am going to a bar and want to look good, I bring a couple of my ugliest friends with me.  Thanks for joining in Joe, but you look good no matter who you're with.

I been looking at my electric usage and bills, they re up there. Been cutting back over the last year and still they are too much.
I am switching over to a time of use plan where between 2PM to 7PM rates re high, but off hour rates are crazy low.
So I will cut back during peek hours nd add a box or two to off peek to make up for it. Hopefully I can do the same amount of work for less money
The worst of the high peek prices are in June, July, August and September. The rest of the year the high peek rates are the same as the regular prices and the off peek prices are quite low.
The Summer months I cut way back anyway. I'll bump up the A/C temp some in the Summer peek times, cool off the house before 2PM and see how it goes.

Oh my, the hops I have to jump through to get my boxes to sop crunching at 2PM and go to sleep, wake up at 7PM and crunch again and keep crunching with out going to sleep on me again. If BOINC is not installed as a service the computer will go to sleep even though it is crunching. If it is installed as a service it can not use a GPU. So I thought of this, seems no easy answer.
So I have to use BOINC manager and set a schedule to run 7PM to 2PM and change it from run always to run as scheduled.
I will have to make a .bat scritp to put the system to sleep at 2:10PM and a script to awaken it at 7PM now to stop it from going to sleep again I have to set to sleep in 19hr20min and hope the go to sleep scritp will override the sleep in 19hr20min.
I think that should work? Look like it will? Know an easier way? Do share.

Yeah that’s where I am going to schedule the time off. I may be able to leave it set to never sleep and just use the sleep/wake with task scheduler built into windows
A computer uses around 100 watts when idle and if five boxes running that’s 500 watt a hour for 5 hours is 2.5 kw times 5 days a week is 12.5 x 4 weeks is 50kw x12 is 600kw
600kw at .30 is 180$
Sometimes I have dozen or more boxes running. And it adds up

Electric here runs .10c a kw delivery plus anywhere from .06 to .22 for the electric
That adds up really fast

I just started to turn off my host when not running BOINC or Folding, but I wonder if UPS Units use up power?

I would think that they do use some power
They have to change their batteries and they have PCBs in them. Some do some magic to the sine waves to make them constant .
I’m not sure how much they use.
I have two in one room I get a chance I can plug one into the other and see what it does on a load and then take one off and see what the difference is.
