    !TIL: When you need to run an OpenVPN server on port 443, you need to use TCP instead of the usual UDP. With 443/udp the server will start, but the port will not be opened, with no error message.

    #TIL: SETI@Home is "going into hibernation" ... long ago, I had BOINC running on a couple of computers, attached to SETI@Home and some other projects.

    "SETI@home hibernation
    On March 31, the volunteer computing part of SETI@home will stop distributing work and will go into hibernation.

    We're doing this for two reasons:

    1) Scientifically, we're at the point of diminishing returns; basically, we've analyzed all the data we need for now.

    2) It's a lot of work for us to manage the distributed processing of data. We need to focus on completing the back-end analysis of the results we already have, and writing this up in a scientific journal paper.

    However, SETI@home is not disappearing. The web site and the message boards will continue to operate. We hope that other UC Berkeley astronomers will find uses for the huge computing capabilities of SETI@home for SETI or related areas like cosmology and pulsar research. If this happens, SETI@home will start distributing work again. We'll keep you posted about this.

    If you're currently running SETI@home on your computer, we encourage you to attach to other BOINC-based projects as well. Or use Science United and sign up to do astronomy. You can stay attached to SETI@home, of course, but you won't get any jobs until we find new applications.

    We're extremely grateful to all of our volunteers for supporting us in many ways during the past 20 years. Without you there would be no SETI@home. We're excited to finish up our original science project, and we look forward to what comes next.
