I always enjoy coming back to those astronomy links @ Misfit thanks for that.

I discovered today a fascinating finding life based on anti matter than matter.
There are so many things that exist that we cannot see, hear or touch like dark matter.
I wonder if they are related or linked somehow.
And it seems it has been there all the time in form of light invisible to us.It shows not everything we see and can touch is all that there is.

I discovered the cause.
Its a condition called sagging.
Being so damn heavy this monolithic GPU unit doesn't bode well in a standard pc tower.
It does have a metal backplate but that doesn't stop stress on the PCIE slot connector.
One slight slip and it malfunctions.
Now I have it running just by repositioning the card on the PCIE slot and tightening up the mounting bracket screw.
It really needs a gpu mounting bracket base I tried to get one it came damaged.
Guess I need to try again. .


If you have the room lay the pc down on it's side until you get one. Can you make one or use a zip tie?
https://graphicscardhub.com/gpu-brace-support/ I'm assuming that's what you mean


you are spot on. Yes thats what I need. I had a look around and yeah its either a bracket or a pc case than tower that I need.
I actually put a ruler there for now :)

Allowing your computers to be visible at the project does open them up to any hacking. It only shows what they are running when your host contacts the project at each scheduler connection and your current tasks. Simply provide the URL link to the errored work after changing your project preferences for your computers to be visible. That setting has no bearing on your physical computers in your network. Whatever prevention you have in place for your network is not compromised.


I appreciate the advice and I have successfully run tasks since so I am waiting to see errors again that will prompt me to unhide my computer. I did a lot of work to it last night so my morale is high this morning.
Nice and snappy too.

Can someone please tell me what logging option check boxes to set on BOINC to log the issue
And where to obtain the error details to post if theres anything additional i need to do.
I am not showing my pc.
News will tell you Australia is suffering a hacking episode.
COVID19 has news media trying to provoke a cold war.
It is a good computer. A properly built and maintained system by a very experienced operator. If I was inexperienced or dumb then I would show it off.
I have just refreshed my PC with desktop software than server software and new passwords as a precaustion and enhanced my router security.
My drivers are not even a month old.
There shouldn't be an issue running.
When someone can please satisfy my queries I can log the work units and post any futrther errors.
I cannot crunch any further until I can report problems properly.

Isn't it fantastic need to find out if it was at my end or the milkyway@home end.
I stopped work and cancelled; let the errors transmit.
Has anyone else ran into this? in current GPU work units?

incomparable GPU, maybe settings to use GPU always might help.
If one can live with Linux it may help overcome MAC software limitations.

The last 4 years have been brutal to science budgets in the US. In 2018 alone, the budget for NASA was cut by over $19 billion so money and grants for Milkyway public outreach most likely took a hit in funding. In 2017, the NASA budget was also cut, but not by as much. Here is a quote from an article I found.

"Out of all the federal agencies that received budget plans from President Donald Trump yesterday, NASA fared pretty well. The space agency is only facing a 0.8 percent cut in its overall budget — a relatively mild change compared to the Environmental Protection Agency, which could see its funding slashed by 31 percent. But packed within NASA’s small budget decrease are some pretty sizable cuts. A few major upcoming missions are canceled, and NASA’s entire education program, which is responsible for outreach and grants, is eliminated. The budget request also proposes wasting technologies already in space."



BOINC has a crypto crunching fundraiser to help scientific projects

My S9100 Firepro won't go over 60 oC in summer because it has a massive noisy fan attached.
SUNON MagLev KDE1209PTVX 90mm / 80mm x 25mm CPU Round Cooling Fan 12V 7.0W 4Pin
Due to the heat output I cannot compromise on heat ventilation SUNON is server class 24/7 operation grade and I haven't had a 7 watt cooling fan before when I first turned it on it sounded like it was taking off lol.
It draws too much power to be powered by my motherboard so I use a Molex adapter cable.
I attached it to the end opposite the mounting bracket near the opening where the stock fan is supposed to go but cut the plastic with a hole saw and screwed it into the plastic cover. Where its proper fan is supposed to go, and where the screws hold the plastic cover, I sealed with electrical tape to keep a wind flow that exhausts over the PC PSU fan effectively drawing in and exhausting out of the PC Tower otherwise it can get just as hot as the GPU in no time.
I have a more suitable PC tower I am planning to build with 2 Firepro's that won't rely on the PSU fan to vent out.
An old Cooler Master Stacker :)

I don't know about that but if the propagation of reality is limited by the speed of light I want to fire the gy that rought the porogram for this matrics.


That creator ... the God .... works in mysterious ways.
Wouldn't it be scary if the speed of light is actually modified of its true relativity due to black hole activity.
Like being shot from a supremely powerful particle accelerator.
Looking at the descriptions of emissions from black holes I realise they are actually something that escaped it.
I wonder if that was photons being refined to achieve a wavelength that allowed them to escape.
I was thinking to myself if that is a plausible theory the big bang could had been the last black hole to explode from a prior dimension in a process of refinement.

it says 0/962 CPU usage on the work units but i'm not sure what the decimals mean; it all works solid so its ok for me.

I enjoyed those videos especially the ones on the Telescope operation to view the crab nebula.
Wouldn't have ever known how to do such things thanks very much.

I just checked up on PC utilisation and discovered on the ATI / AMD GPU runs I am crunching it shows between 21 and 46% CPU activity each run.
I'd post a screenshot but i cannot attach them.

The S9100 Pro accelerator with a dummy HDMI connected to it runs in w8100 mode for desktop compatibility and does a fantastic job in crunching.
Although its product line is finished units floating around dirt cheap because its not really useful for anything than servers and even then not profitable for crypto but its a fine sweet spot for number crunching.
Other firepro's are out there that are cheap too.
I just might get some more in future grab them before I do people!

Hi friends.
I don't know if this could be answered.
I was just wondering given we live in a Galaxy constantly falling for a supermassive black hole in accordance to Newtons laws, given being in the nucleus of a galaxy which black holes can bend space time, would it be possible the experience of time itself is somewhat a different measure of scale outside the galaxy that there is nothing to influence space time travel such as gravity or dark energy.
I would quickly assume it would seem similar but perhaps more accelerated that there isn't a spiral of energy such as a galaxy to influence it.
