| Project progress |
| An update for the progress on each sub project in yoyo@home:OGR-28is 89% completed (https://stats.distributed.net/projects.php?project_id=28).
It will finish around beginning of 2023 (https://stats.distributed.net/project/ogr_status.php?project_id=28).
Siever & ECM
I see currently no end in further demands for sieving and trial factorizations.
There are many many math projects which have needs for sieving and factorizations.
M-Queens
We are currently in the 2. of 3 parts and have there 70% done. So in total we are at 56%.
We started 2 years ago. So it might take another 2 years to finish it.

| Disk up |
hi,
the new disk is up and running after less than 4 hours later.
This disk is were Boinc save all past and present data (not the DB, that is in another more faster one) and the downside of a Boinc installation is that space in that area will grown day by day.
As the old one last for more than 3 years, we have at least other 3 years of data to process before fulling this one :)

|
| New disk |
hi,
in the next days it is planned to move the Boinc data from actual disk to another big one.
The operation will be long 2 or more hours and during that time the server will be disconnected from network.
So be sure to have the WUs you need or add backup Boinc project to use in the mean time
Thanks

| BOINC client 7.16.20 solves the certificate problem for Windows |
Dear all,
If you are running BOINC on a Windows computer, please update to a new version (7.16.20) of the BOINC client. The previous version stopped working recently because of an expired SSL file that prevented it from communicating with several BOINC projects, with the BOINC server, and with Science United. You can download the new version here: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php
With best wishes,
Team of SiDock@home

| Storage problem |
|
The University's storage system (that we heavily use) is having big performance issues thus everything is painfully slow. I stopped the work generator, which actually was not working because of this. No new tasks will be generated until the assimilator will be able to move the finished results to the proper place. There is nothing else to do but wait until the problem will be solved, no ETA, unfortunately.

| Certificates and project communicating |
Dear folks!
If BOINC on your computer experiencing a problem during project communicating, try to replace file ca-bundle.crt in programs directory of BOINC (C:\Program Files\BOINC\ca-bundle.crt, for example) by this file: https://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/download/ca-bundle.crt and restart whole BOINC processes or reboot computer.
Another threads on forum:
Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates
Wus not uploading
Transient Error
Communication deferred
100% block still crunching
Thank you for participation!

| invalid certificate from BOINC clients |
If you are getting an error in your BOINC client log:
Scheduler request failed: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with give
you must update/replace the ca-bundle.crt from the BOINC client. It looks like the file is outdated. Stop BOINC, replace the file and restart.
I put the file in the download folder for download.

| Validator Outage |
Hey Everyone,
MilkyWay@home is currently experiencing an outage for the Separation Validator. I brought it back up once, and then it crashed again. I am trying to bring it back up. In the meantime, connections to the download/upload servers may stop and start intermittently as I work on the server.
Thanks for your patience, I will keep you updated as things change.

| The lucky ones! |
Whenever Einstein@Home finds a new neutron star, there is always one workunit in which that discovery "stands out" from the noise with the highest statistical significance. The volunteers whose computers processed that workunit receive framed discovery certificates, signed by myself and by the Principal Investigator of the experiment/collaboration that provided the data. Over the past decade, we have sent out more than a hundred of these, and we are now preparing a new batch. If you are interested, here is read more |

| Changing of reporting primes to TOP5000 |
There was a change of the account SRBase from the T5k database admin. The user was changed to a project and I cant report any primes anymore. The CRUS project has now an "Anonymous" user where all the primes will be reported from now. In the description of the CRUS project SRBase is now included.
All other primes from you are not affected and will be reported as usual.
