"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)To alleviate the load on the SETI@home servers during Ttuesday's maintenance outages and to give regular users the chance to replenish their work unit caches, the operators of high throughput hosts can set BOINC to temporarily stop polling data servers on this specific day. https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=84048&postid=1986061

" Examining a million stellar environments might sound impractical, but it’s not. While it took three years to add 1,300 to the list of observed systems, the speed of the search is increasing. It won’t take a century or two to add a million more. The actual timescale is closer to a decade. That should buoy readers who hope to be among the first humans to learn whether aliens really exist."Search for space aliens comes up empty, but extraterrestrial life could still be out there | SETI Institute https://seti.org/search-space-aliens-comes-empty-extraterrestrial-life-could-still-be-out-there
"There are no guarantees, and SETI rests upon a hypothesis that’s impossible to falsify. It may be that there is an abundance of inhabited worlds but that 21st century SETI tech — mostly listening for alien radio signals — is incapable of detecting them. But such caveats are no reason to stop trying, any more than we should abandon efforts to find a cure for the common cold just because none has yet been found."
SETI has always butted up against the fact that the universe is very large and mostly empty — and that exploring large chunks of it takes a long time. But there’s both hope and expectation that, as the numbers grow, so too will the chance that one day we’ll find a scratchy signal — one that will change all future history.

A well rounded, humorous and recently updated article : " The WIRED Guide to Aliens" https://www.wired.com/story/wired-guide-aliens/ Extract: " What to Do When ET Phones: There's a protocol from the International cademy of Astronautics (lightly edited):
1. Scream.
2. Try to make sure, using your own equipment, that message from an alien is the most
likely explanation, way ahead of secret spy satellite or hoax courtesy of nearby laser lab.
3. Alert your alien-questing colleagues that you may have beaten them to the biggest
discovery in (non)human history, and kindly ask them to use their own equipment to confirm
it. Request that they redirect their resources to continuing observation.
4. If your colleagues agree you won, send a message out to all the other earthling astronomers
via the International Astronomical Union. Also, please phone the secretary general of the
United Nations (but gloat less).
5. Send WIRED an encrypted tip of your discovery via Signal.
6. Make the data public so scientists can check your work.
7. Work to protect the frequency at which you received the most important message ever,
so that the signal from a new internet of things toothbrush doesn t interfere with page 17 of
the faster-than-light ship schematic.
8. Don t respond to your new ET BFFs until appropriate international consultations have
taken place.
9. Pop the champagne! "

"SETI does share some traits with religion. It is motivated by deep human desires for connection and transcendence. It concerns itself with questions about human origins, about the raw creative power of nature, and about our future in this universe and it does all this at a time when traditional religions have become unpersuasive to many. Why these aspects of SETI should count against it is unclear. Nor is it clear why Congress should find SETI unworthy of funding, given that the government has previously been happy to spend hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on ambitious searches for phenomena whose existence was still in question. The expensive, decades-long missions that found black holes and gravitational waves both commenced when their targets were mere speculative possibilities. That intelligent life can evolve on a planet is not a speculative possibility, as Darwin demonstrated. Indeed, SETI might be the most intriguing scientific project suggested by Darwinism." - Ross AndersenThe Space Station May Soon Smell like Fresh-Baked Cookies - Scientific American https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-space-station-may-soon-smell-like-fresh-baked-cookies/
