1) Message boards : Number crunching : Change in credits? (Message 7132) Posted 17 Jan 2021 by UBT - Timbo Post: Hi It's good to see that ODLK is back online. But BOINCstats is showing a REDUCTION in total credits for International, United Kingdom and Spain teams. Any reason why this has happened? https://classic.boincstats.com/en/stats/177/country/list/ Country Change in credits this week International -934,087 United Kingdom -726,194 Spain -448,710 NO other "countries" seem to have lost credits... regards Tim PS: When posting this to the forum, I see some website errors: "Deprecated: Function get_magic_quotes_gpc() is deprecated in /home/boinc/projects/odlk/html/inc/util.inc on line 663"
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Проект TBEG недоступен (Message 5320) Posted 26 Feb 2020 by UBT - Timbo Post: Hi Tomas Many thanks for the swift reply. I will pass on the info to our Team so that the current members involved with your project (just 4 including myself) are aware of the situation. I can't do anything to help inform the other 333 active members who have joined the project though :-( re: Server "fix". Good luck getting the server fixed. If it is local to you, then it could be very simple to get working again, if it just needs a new HDD...as I am sure that not only do you have DB backups but also OS backups as well (which will allow the original project messageboard, teams and members databases to be restored to a new HDD). If it were me, my plan, would be to test the server itself is OK, by running some basic tests from a USB memory stick or from a simple Linux installer from a CDROM/DVDROM (but removing the original HDD first !!). Once I knew the server was OK, then install a new HDD and restore the OS backup. If I ever suspect a HDD problem, it is cheaper in the long run to just get a new (and probably larger) HDD...trying to save a few dollars on the old HD doesn't make sense if it fails again later on. Just my 2c !! regards Tim

Now the tricky question: When do you think the project will be online again? I am sure that many (including me) have completed tasks that are now just sitting on their computers waiting to be uploaded...maybe you can make a new (temporary) server available and just allow everyone to upload their tasks ? (But not to download new tasks). And perhaps, you can send out a message via BOINC Manager to let people know what is going on? regards Tim
4) Message boards : Number crunching : ODLK has been chosen for FB Sprint Event (Message 4422) Posted 30 Aug 2019 by UBT - Timbo Post: Hi Maybe without an "official" Sprint, some crunchers are guessing at which project might be chosen and switching over to anyone of a number of projects that haven't been chosen so far this year. So this list includes: Acoustics@home Asteroids@home BURP Citizen Science Grid Climate Prediction Collatz Conjecture Cosmology@home DENIS@Home DHEP Enigma@home LHC@home 1.0 ODLK ODLK1 (aka latinsquares) Rosetta@home TN-Grid Universe@Home VGTU@home Wanless Mersenne +2 Yafu Yoyo@home (And some of these projects do not have any work or have closed...so that leaves fewer active projects to select from). So, maybe this is the reason for the increase? regards Tim Founder, UK BOINC Team
