Huh? A /. member flushing through OUR proxy?!? Yeah! It's good news!

Welcome

Welcome!!!
And did you say why you changed teams? I was just kinda curious.....

Now is the time too ask the question that has been bothering me (and several other OGR members):

How were you able to get so many OGR-24 stubs?

 

[SyZ]

I changed teams because I was bored and looking around on teamanandtech's site, and saw all the stats, forums, etc ... and then I looked at the wonderfulness that is slashdot (a "Join our team please" and that's about it) ... and figured I'd take the community that is anandtech over a bunch of geeks with big server clusters to crack with. (not that I'm not a geek with a cluster .. but you know .. hehe )

Getting OGR24 stubs is just a matter of looking around for proxies loaded with them. There are a whole bunch stubs out there, not to mention those on the dnet proxies. Up until a few days ago, proxy1.red.wa.us.proxy.distributed.net was serving nothing but 24 stubs, and NOBODY uses it and it's not part of the RR really .. so the stubs just sat in a buffer waiting for someone to pull them.

Just as an example, today at around 22:00 I pulled almost 1000 OGR24 stubs from iodbbs proxy (200 in it's buffer, the rest were from the main proxy I would imagine) .. that will take a day or two to smash through .. so I reset the input buffers to 50 (with 900 in the buffer already) so the buffer doesn't get polluted with 25's while I'm not looking .. and then when it gets to around 100 I wander through the dnet and anandtech proxies to see what server will send me more.

This is the reason I abandoned Team Slashdot as well. There really is NO communication between the team members that I know of. It was boring, no internal competitions or anything like that. The only chance we even got to boast about our cracking speed and such was on the very rare post about d.n.

Well shoot, I'm sorry for doubting and being suspicious.
I guess the DPC trolling in the bragging thread has me on the defensive. :|

Go ahead and kiss him all you want BoberFett. :Q

 

[Viztech]

Welcome SyZ!

I see that you selected our spiffy Tuxedo icon. I really don't know why you can't get along fine with Kilowatt, our blindfolded Klinux developer. He's really a Linux guru in disguise. Someday he's going to take off that blindfold and discover that Tux icon. Then again, he might just be waiting on the &quot;Tux of Borg&quot;

[Russ]

SyZ,

Be sure and tell all of your Slashdot RC5 buddies how great we are.

Russ, NCNE

Old sayin' goes, &quot;If ya can't beat em, JOIN EM!&quot;

 

[PeterN]

We welcome you, glad to have you on board!!

BTW You said you didn't look at your RC5 stats for a while. It looks impressive, especially taken into consideration, that you are concentrating on the OGR project.

WTG and keep it up.

 

[LeBlatt]

A nice addition, indeed.

Now OGR24 should remain ours, and 25 will fall under 1 month if we keep the rate.

 

[PeterN]

Hi LeBlatt,

Are you going to update the racers page?
The last time it was updated was 23/10.

Also can you change my name into Feds, Auxilary Fleet?

Thnx,
Cmd. PeterN

 

[jinsonxu]

Wow! Welcome to out DC team, SyZ!

How bout joining our RC5 team too while you're at it?

 

[PeterN]

He Jinx,

The moment he joined the TA-OGR team, his blocks for RC5 are automatically count for TA also.
The team joining at DNet works that way, gladly.

Peter.
