      @musicman Mastodon instance hackers.town has a team for f@h that is probably about to break into the top 1,000 after just 2-3 weeks.
      
      There’s also Rosetta@Home for those running BOINC (SETI@Home and similar efforts).

         SETI stopped, I thought. Did they bring it back for covid?

            @musicman No. SETI@Home is "paused", but people that ran it will have #BOINC installed (it is one of many projects that use BOINC), so someone wanting to participate in Rosetta@Home could just add that project in BOINC while they await the revival of SETI. (The B is Berkeley and I think the NC is Network Computing; beyond that, I don't know.)

               marginally relevant to this thread, but we decided in standup today to figure out if there was anything we could do. We've got an #OpenVPN article coming out to help companies struggling with remote work, but it is hard to image the business case for doing something with Folding@Home or BOINC.
               
               I guess I get to play biologist in the meeting. I quite the microbiology lab in 2006, lol.

      Also: "I saw an interesting article this morning on Tom's Hardware stating that, the Folding@Home network is now pushing out 470 PetaFLOPS of raw compute power! That is more powerful than the world's top seven supercomputers, combined! " -- https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/
