“ Men and Women wanted for a hazardous distributed computing Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Low wages, bitter false positives, long hours of data crunching, overheating CPU's and GPUs. Safe return doubtful without caffeinated beverages. Honour and recognition in event of technosignal detection.” (adapted from the apocryphal newspaper ad made by famed explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton)SETI@home is down? A check list https://setiathomeirclinks.blogspot.com/2019/04/is-setihome-down.html
"The difference between seing nothing but a pebble and reading the history of the Cosmos inscribed inside it is Science." - Ann Druyan https://www.instagram.com/p/BvzENmghUZA/
"Get your circle of people involved. It isn't all about the fastest server farm (though those are important), it is about reaching people and making them a part of something bigger even if they only have a crappy slow machine at home. It is part a public relations outreach as we make people feel a part of something that they will then maybe financially donate to, and/or elect science friendly politicians who will help. I can't wait for my new seti shirt to get here, and remind people that this project is still around after 20 years and hopefully get more people in the tent." - Unixchick https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=83777&postid=1990998On the initial 144 Tees produced, some are still looking for good homes: B/W, M L XL or 2XL https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=84069 - check availability with Uli while making your request. $13USD/tee (at cost) + shipping (country dependent)
SETI@home Progress report (David Anderson, Project administrator, developer & scientist) Posted: 26 Apr 2019, 19:40:53 UTC - Birdie signal generation - Introduction of "time entropy", a measure of how separated in time the multiplet's signals are - Through machine-learning, making our multiplet scoring algorithm better at finding birdie multiplets (and hence better at finding ET - bug fixes and enhancements https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=84154&postid=1991588
[SETI@home humor] Richard's Universal Solution: "I also had problems accessing this website, with - apparently - the Cloudflare service failing to get me a secure connection and giving me a 'forbidden' plain http connection instead. So I went out to the pub, and it was fine when I got back."
Free-DC: Thanks all for the great response to donations. Happy to say that the total was just over $2700, so I have more than enough for the next 18months or more. After reference from one of the users I'm also looking very closely into a dedicated server (or 2) at a local datacenter. Waiting on some responses on specs. I'd be able to pay for the full year outright easily. More to come https://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php 2019.04.28
