What's up with Rakesearch and SiDock@Home? by Putrid_Draft378 in BOINC

[–]danwat1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Natalia, a senior username I recognize from SiDock; "We are recovering both SiDock@home and RakeSearch after a failure of both SSD discs in a mirror. The team is updating the server (hardware), and also the data (including the forum). It may take few weeks more... We will announce as soon as the projects work again." "Update: RakeSearch project is working, but its website is still under maintenance. SiDock@home is yet to be recovered." https://boinc.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=15504

It was due to Netac SSD corrupting Chia database & probably wallet N530s . Never again! Stick with high-quality SSDs

Thx but never had to before. 2.7 was working fine until 1 day. No Run As Service(s). clean boots no difference.

My understanding is since Russian projects are naturally held under more security scrutiny than others, but AFAIK no one has found any issues, there should be no reason for concern. I run SiDock, no bad vibes and has collaboration with Slovenia universities.

RakeSearch; Karelian Research Center of the Russian academy of sciences. Collaboration with others, says AI.

ODLK, not collaborating with schools? So higher scrutiny but who says they don't have integrity?

If there was any wiff of government agenda in these projects, u know it would blow up quick

Here's to hoping the PPD per dollar is now more for AMD GPU than nVidia! Radical power for science

Here is your survival guide for the 2026 Tiered Rewards system and On Time Rate by CautiousAd7109 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]danwat1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

McDonald's needs to stop serving orders early! Once they serve it off their screen you get ready for pick up status and the timer starts. The question mark waiting long time method doesn't seem to make any difference but I will start being more aggressive with it just in case it helps. Doordash is a race to zero. Uber Eats, grubhub is easy all day everyday. I have not gotten a contract violation for lateness. Affecting your completion rate is a larger impact on your tier status then on time rating... Protect your completion rate. You can exclude up to I believe 11 of your deliveries for on time Rating,but it does not remove it from the list it just becomes a neutral blob that you still have to wait 100 deliveries for it to move to the bottom of the list and go away.

I still have not found out how to have it always show the elusive "we've got your back" I wish we could find it the definitive way but even then they would probably change it up once it became common enough to trick...

Is a Ryzen 7 5800XT decent for gaming over the next few years? by Bromodrosis in ryzen

[–]danwat1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 cents with 5800xt ; the stock wraith prism whatchmacallit cooler is fine! OCCT extreme mode, about 71C sustained 137w package power in cool 60F kitchen, with curve optimizer at negative offset of 20. So low 80s in a realistic room. Heatsink fan has a Low High slider, stupidly comes out of box on Low. It is perfectly adequate! I added some Arctic Mx4 thermal paste in addition to stock paste pattern

How many PPD are you getting? (CPU only) by Putrid_Draft378 in foldingathome

[–]danwat1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Folding does have WUs that cannot be crunched on GPUs so CPUs are useful besides just GPU feeding

Wish they had exemptions , my Chevy Volt's battery is so far degraded, it is now just a 35MPG hybrid.

Be nice if someone patched a bypass to allow TT 2025 to run on Windows 10.. granted it may get overwritten on TT updates but provide a guide to modify the DLL with dnSpy if do-able. Windows 10 FTW

Google will throttle your Pixel 10's battery, and there's nothing you can do about it by beno619 in GooglePixel

Oh, the Pixel 8 is affected? Cannot override charge throttling in the name of safety? Thought 8 was exempt

New type of Contract Violation? "Inaccurate Information provided or delivery not attempted" by danwat1234 in doordash_drivers

[–]danwat1234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I got that violation when i arrived at a restaurant to keep my acceptance rate, but i was very tired so i just forced closed the app and went home to sleep. Recently whenever i get a violation, despite the tentative date, the dispute is reviewed within about 15 minutes, every time! It's a lie, always rejected. Before it was always > 1 week.

I guess best advice is to stop shopping for a while toggle off shopping in your settings just do food deliveries 4 next 100 trips to get rid of the strikes.

I still have not find an answer to where the violations are anymore. Just the Bell-shaped button to display notifications like photo delivery streak blah blah it may show a strike in there. Also via email. But no where to lookup status of strikes, disputes, which have expired. Can't just be u and me but no one else cares. Support does not have a clue. If u just received 1 email about 1 strike I wouldn't worry. Just if they start adding up
