That'd be s shame if it dies, I think its so much better than BOINCStats. I preferred the stats3 version of Free-DC.

Think a power outage took out his webserver and he doesn't want to mess with it anymore. Skillz maybe going to help out
Does anyone know what kind of computing power this service requires ? Not disk, but I may be able to donate hardware. I have a couple of servers not running that might be enough power to run this. Like a 64 core Rome ES.

Yep, that's pretty much where we stand, just waiting for him to get the goods and bring the site back up, then we'll git er up and running
So he has the hardware that he needs ?

Thanks a bunch, and yes he has all the hardware needed. Ya, I fold for overclockers.com. I generally start in the fall and go till Feb, when I participate in Tour de Prime and stay there until it gets to warm to dump all that heat out the house.

Just a note for the future. If he ever needs new hardware and can't afford it, please come here and state his needs. ( or PM me, the ICON to the right of my name upper right)) Right now I have several servers (I mean REAL server hardware) that I don't have the available power to run, and I won't sell on ebay anymore, so its piles up. Like a 7742, and dual 7763's and dual 7V12's (fast 7742s). I have converted to Zen 4 and Zen 5, so Zen 2 and Zen 3 are not running.

Noted and appreciated I guess I'm in the right crowd as I have a rack full of old Dells. They're so old it's not worth the power to bring them online, but I dun wanna sell them either. I don't like selling my old stuff, as when money is exchanged there can be...expectations (which I don't disagree with) so I just give stuff away. That way, if it blows up 10 minutes after start-up, it's not a huge thing.

Heya Holdolin! Welcome, friend!

@Markfw : Your offers are very generous. It seems the problem will be solved soon, with the current hardware (which is adequate for the task). But..... with a new administrator/operator. Bok/Phil, we can't thank you enough for the many many many years you have run Free-DC!!!!! The entire BOINC community salutes you, Sir!!!

I too use the Free-DC stats every day, I'm glad they will be back up 'soon'!!
And I am at 1.6 Trillion credits and #4 in the World and STILL can't buy a cup of coffee with any of them!!

Long time since I logged in here

Yes, I'm getting too old to mess with hardware. Today I drove over to meet Skillz and gave him the DB server (2x hexcore xeons, with 128Gb Ram and 5 nvme drives plus SSD's. As well as the webserver.
I could not get the webserver to power on at all, turns out it was the PSU, he got it working and after I left he texted that he got the DB server up and running too, so it's closer.
Just working on remote connectivity so I can patch a few things up and document what is needed to run it.

So many many thanks to Skillz !!!!!

Bok
