6.6 Billion Points...
So we'll beat that next year, right?
Gonna have to do it in one month. Don't know if I can retain attention for two again.Count on it!
I got an appraisal for a solar system, 3 installers said that my house is covered with too much shade from my neighbours. So no solar system for me@Kiska, 30 cents per KWH?! I don't suppose you can afford to buy a solar power system?
Perhaps next year6.6 Billion Points...

Great effort everyone. :beer::beer: on me.
I did, and here it is below:I'm going to say it once again, because I don't think it can be said enough. Thank you once again everyone. It was a fun ride. I only hope we can do this again to see just how much we can each beat our own records.
I'm finally relieved to be able to take my systems offline and do my upgrades. Hopefully with it, I'll be able to expand my Linux guide and make it easier and/or more effective for everyone who wishes to use it as well. On that note, I recall someone was going to develop a guide here as well. I'd be happy to collaborate.
$20k for some solar panels, $5k for AGM batteries, inverters and charging controllers, and $1 or $2k for house renovations to create a battery bank room. I'd say it's a worthwhile investment. I've always wanted to live as off-grid as possible, and that's one of my priorities for when I finally save up the cash to build my own house.
I'll do one better for you guys. I'm in the aviation industry, so if anyone lives in a city flown to my Emirates, I'll buy you all drinks!
First, disable secure boot. The easiest way I found was to delete the keys in key management.
Next, after booting with a linux mint USB or CD, install it. Use an empty disk, or one you don't care if its wiped clean.
Then open a terminal window and do the below commands
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/109052632/python-support_1.0.15_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i python-support_1.0.15_all.deb
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install nvidia-387 (or if it appears on the linix home page drivers list, you can do it from there.
sudo apt-get install nvidia-opencl-icd-387
sudo apt-get install libcuda1-387
sudo apt-get -y install python-gnome2 mesa-common-dev freeglut3-dev nvidia-settings gedit
Install fah client and console using these links:
Folding at home client (background service) https://folding.stanford.edu/releases/public/release/fahclient/debian-testing-64bit/v7.4/fahclient_7.4.4_amd64.deb
Folding at home control panel (user interface) https://folding.stanford.edu/releases/public/release/fahcontrol/debian-testing-64bit/v7.4/fahcontrol_7.4.4-1_all.deb
cd /var/lib/fahclient
sudo wget http://fah-web.stanford.edu/file-releases/public/GPUs.txt
Then fire up fahcontrol and add the GPU client(will show under education in the menu), and maybe also the remote access by adding ,192.168.1.1-192.168.1.255 to the two IP places
sudo service FAHClient stop
sudo service FAHClient start
---I stop here now after having the blank screen problems: ----------
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28 --allow-empty-initial-configuration
cd ~
gedit fancontrols
and add and then save (for 2 video cards)
nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GPUFanControlState=1
nvidia-settings -a [fan:0]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=100
nvidia-settings -a [gpu:1]/GPUFanControlState=1
nvidia-settings -a [fan:1]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=100
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run 'nvidia-settings --help' for usage information
It doesn't have to do with that. nvidia-settings commands work on my other rig which boots with no monitors connected. smi reports each card on the other rig to be running an instance for fahcore and xorg. It works because it was installed with a desktop environment, so the most likely issue is that either I'm missing some package(s), or the packages need to be set up/started.
