Stat's Export
(Message 2920)
Posted 20 Apr 2025 by Dark Angel Post: Not holding out much hope the stats reporting will be fixed when they can't even stop the server from dumping phantom work units into my account. There's nearly four thousand units listed on my account that were never sent to me but which have somehow timed out no response. What a load of BS! Units like this one: https://denis.usj.es/denisathome/result.php?resultid=59231239 NEVER EXISTED. They were never processed because THEY WERE NEVER SENT |

Posted 19 Apr 2025 by Dark Angel Post: Well since now that one stats site that WAS working has stopped updating, it does kind of matter. At the time I posted that, it was NOT working "fine" and had not updated in several days. |

Posted 16 Apr 2025 by Dark Angel Post: Well since now that one stats site that WAS working has stopped updating, it does kind of matter. It's been several days now. That smells more like settings were rolled back to minimise traffic and somehow cut costs. |

Posted 16 Apr 2025 by Dark Angel Post: There's more than just 3 stats sites, there are also competition sites like Formula Boinc and Boinc GamesWell, that doesn't matter. But only 1 out of 3 is bad, as Meatloaf... ;-) Well since now that one stats site that WAS working has stopped updating, it does kind of matter. |

Posted 15 Apr 2025 by Dark Angel Post: Well, yes, but there has to be an up to date XML file in that very location. And more than one stats site isn't able to retrieve that data. A lot of posts seem to suggest that there is a problem with the access to that location, just strange that one of the 3 stats sites seems to be able to get this. It should be possible between those 3 different parties to find out what needs to be fixed... :( There's more than just 3 stats sites, there are also competition sites like Formula Boinc and Boinc Games |

University network maintenance // Mantenimiento en la red de la universidad
(Message 2829)
Posted 12 Apr 2025 by Dark Angel Post: The things done during this network maintenance are still interfering with proper operation of the Boinc system. Someone clearly decided things were "not sufficiently secure" without thinking to ask why things were there way they were and deciding they knew better. |

Unable to add project to Debian system.
(Message 2801)
Posted 8 Apr 2025 by Dark Angel Post: The children running the network security at the university locked everything down some time in February and as a result thousands of people can no longer connect to the project and neither can the multiple stats accumulator pages. Had they bothered to look at the traffic logs or step outside their student accommodation and ASK the people within the university that are affected this wouldn't have happened. |

Task in progress number wrong
(Message 2746)
Posted 4 Apr 2025 by Dark Angel Post: and now all those phantom tasks have passed their return dates I have over two thousand errored tasks. Tasks I was never sent. Tasks that now, because they timed out without being processed, are preventing me from getting more work on my main machine in particular. |

Posted 31 Mar 2025 by Dark Angel Post: The page for my main desktop current states that I have 2013 tanks in progress. https://denis.usj.es/denisathome/results.php?hostid=255042 In fact it has none. Not even a single one. My headless machine is listed as having 1291 tasks in progress. https://denis.usj.es/denisathome/results.php?hostid=247497 It has a total of 35. Something is very wrong with the server accounting system. |

Posted 30 Mar 2025 by Dark Angel Post: Ok, full system upgrade on my desktop, jumped through multiple hoops getting the client recompiled (still Boinc v8.1.0) and finally it's connecting. Most people are not going to be able to do this, the fix really needs to come from the server end. |

Posted 29 Mar 2025 by Dark Angel Post: Running a Windows 10 VM I can attach and get work, but that means that I can give 3 cores to the project instead of 36. Across all users that means there are thousands of cpu cores that aren't able to get work. Very disappointed this issue hasn't been dealt with weeks ago. |

Posted 27 Mar 2025 by Dark Angel Post: Since this issue affects all of my machines, they are running different BOINC versions including one compiled from the latest source, and they all have no trouble connecting to any other project, it's something specific to Denis. Since it primarily affects Linux machines it points to a configuration issue by an overly zealous security administrator that can only be fixed at the university's end. I've been pretty enthusiastic about running this project for family reasons until now, but until this is fixed there's nothing I can contribute. |

Posted 21 Mar 2025 by Dark Angel Post: I just attempted to post the contents of my get_project_config.xml file as generated by this project compared to another one and Cloudflare blocked me. This suggests that the problem is with Cloudflare interfering with communication between the BOINC client and server. |
