Re: Feed Bot Issues

Is it normal that the bot pulls the feeds much more frequently than configured at "Interval for automatic processing feeds (seconds)"? The Maintenance/ Admin log shows that it happens much more often, and at varying periods.

Re: [WCG] Approximately 300 million small molecules run for OpenPandemics - COVID-19 as part of system test

This news item is a recap of the April/May opng stress test. What did we learn from the recent stress test? The stress test was a great exercise to uncover bottlenecks in our workflow. Because of the almost unbelievable magnitude of results returned—the equivalent of about 3/4 of the number of CPU r...

This game sux. I disabled Collatz now, as the site times out today and thus kills the feed bot. Need to remember to periodically check for when Collatz returns.

Re: Feed Bot Issues

I thought, the "timeout" column for each URL addresses that, but apparently not. I had been wondering about that too. Though if a simple timeout causes the bot to quit entirely, then we should apparently increase the timeout threshold in order to decrease the likelihood of timeouts. It is...

If it does, perhaps there are VRM temperature sensors in it too. (Asus's support material for this board looks like only CPU temperatures are monitored though, not any other board temperatures.)

Re: Nasty Linux systemd root level security bug revealed and patched

Debian 10 hosts should have polkit 0.105-25 installed. Debian introduced the upstream bug via a backport into 0.105-26. That's why only unstable and testing were affected. (They are now fixed with polkit 0.105-31. Which you don't need if you have 0.105-25 or older.)

Re: Rosetta python project 1.02 (vbox64) application

Did you have "Disk: Leave at least […] GB free" defined in the computing preferences?

If so, then the client must have had too little information, or/and too late, about the actual disk space requirements.

Re: Does Ram Latency make any Difference for any projects?

Short answer: Maybe…?

The Threadripper platform –so far– is not the best choice in terms of power efficiency AFAICT.

Re: Weird issue with hard drive

Another idea to test would be to downgrade the port to SATA-2 (3 Gb/s, 300 MB/s), *if* this is possible in the driver or in the BIOS.

If you consider Raspberry Pi 4 for experiments in power efficiency, keep in mind that its processor is on a 28 nm node.
