(Message 96249) Posted 7 May 2020 by Boulybud Post: I have a question for you, according to you, with a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB that works with 3 tasks, what would be the best settings for spot storage? Raspberry Pi no OC which runs 24/7 Here are the settings I put : Other Store at least 0.50 days of work Store up to an additional 0.10 days of work
2) Message boards : News : Switch to using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) (Message 95969) Posted 4 May 2020 by Boulybud Post: This switch is optional and can be done at your convenience. It is not required to detach and reattach. The project will still serve via http. If you want to use SSL, you can switch. If you don't care, you can skip it and just ignore the client message, "This project is using an old URL..." I've contacted BOINC and hopefully they will update the project url from the list of projects show on the client for new users so for new users, this will be transparent since they will attach using the https url. That's good news! It is best to use an SSL connection even if the data that is passing is not necessarily at risk (may be the login credentials to the Rosetta account)

It's the simplest method. There is still the statistics file, which is not specified. As far as I was concerned, having no interest for statistics I made the simplest method and obviously he kept me the statistics on BoincTasks This needs to be automatic. 90% of users will never see this thread. They will never know anything has to be done. Eventually when the old address stops working, they'll assume there's no work available and go to another project. Boinc needs to change the address itself with no user intervention. I also agree with you, this kind of manipulation can scare away some numbers of average users who are just there to participate it is absolutely necessary that Boinc try as far as possible to bring updates in a transparent way for the user even if it is true that this manipulation is not very complicated either. In any case, I really enjoy participating in Rosetta, that allowed me to start Linux with Raspbian and design a case with a 3D printer to cool my Raspberry Pi 4 as best as possible. This is a real project to do in a school for a class in order to learn how to design a useful project in computer science. PS: Sorry for my english, y use a translator

5) Message boards : News : Switch to using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) (Message 95903) Posted 3 May 2020 by Boulybud Post: Hi Boulybud I don’t understand your suggestion “I'm not sure you'll spend all your files settings in HTTPS with this method”. Could you explain me better? About modifying the statistics_boinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta.xml file, I think it’s a good idea to change it but I’d like to share my today experience. I didn’t change the statistics xml file and, after the restart: ) I lost the Rosetta historical graph in the Boinc Manager GUI Statistics Tab ) I found “https” written in statistics xml file I’d like to share also the following steps I did in my first experience: STEP 0 – Reset Projet STEP 4 – After downloading project files, execute a second restart Sorry, I use a translator :( In doing so, I thought that with your method, it was not going to change the other rosetta files with the right URL in HTTPS But obviously, in your case, he spotted that the URL contained in the file "statistics_boinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta.xml" was not the right one so he rewrote the file with the right URL in HTTPS (which probably explains why you lost your graphics) My question was rather, isn't it safer to delete/add the project after changing the master URL in "all_projects_list.xml" so that they change the entire associated rosetta files by recreating them?
6) Message boards : News : Switch to using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) (Message 95871) Posted 2 May 2020 by Boulybud Post: I have just done the following steps in my 2 Linux Laptops managed by BAM. Step 1 - Modify the file account_boinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta.xml <master_url>https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/</master_url> Step 2 - Modify the file all_projects_list.xml <url>https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/</url> <web_url>https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/</web_url> Step 3 - Restart boinc manager systemctl restart boinc-client.service I didn't need to remove the projet and attach it again. Have you thought about also changing the URL in the statistical file? /var/lib/boinc/statistics_boinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta.xml <master_url>https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/</master_url> Your solution actually looks very simple, however, I'm not sure you'll spend all your files settings in HTTPS with this method. What do you think?

So I fired Ubuntu to put Raspbian on it and take the opportunity to check the firmware eeprom. I managed to gain a few °C with Raspbian, after an hour, it turns around 38°C without overcloock, I have more than to wait to see if it is more stable than with Ubuntu. EDIT : eeprom chip had been updated before Raspbian was installed

(Message 95586) Posted 30 Apr 2020 by Boulybud Post: Still a crash that night at 4:00 AM I do not understand, it worked all day yesterday without a problem, and the Raspberry Pi starts to plant in the night. I'll try to put /etc/boinc/cc_config.txt <options> <ncpus>3</ncpus> </options> To see

(Message 95571) Posted 29 Apr 2020 by Boulybud Post: For information, it is very well cooled, I make a case thanks to a 3D printer to which I added a fan 5V for ventirad manufactured by Noctua. my CPU does not exceed 41 degrees Celsius in full charge and all the components of the motherboard are cooled.

(Message 95570) Posted 29 Apr 2020 by Boulybud Post: (2025 caused the random hangs - the OS wouldn't crash, but it would get "stuck" for 20 seconds, then recover, then get stuck again). I myself have encountered this problem... Besides to some extent, I still meet it yet my Raspberry Pi is not overcloocked. I'm having weird problems, my Raspberry Pi runs for several hours, sometimes 10 hours without any problems and one morning I wake up and I can no longer access it. Today for example, it runs since 9:00 AM and until now 23:53 PM it has not planted and realized a lot of stain but I'm afraid that as yesterday they end up planted in the night. Similarly, when the Raspberry Pi is relaunched many times, I also noticed that the stains ended up aborting PS: Sorry for my english, is translated.

(Message 95464) Posted 28 Apr 2020 by Boulybud Post: Hello Engame124, Thank you for your return, it's very disturbing. Have you done temperature readings in your different scenarios? I'm curious if disabling HDMI, BT, WIFI has an impact on the temperature CPU ? Thank you.
