Bearnol needs to get even geekier as this server seems to be unavailable with annoying regularity

There seems to be a new spell of unavailableness at the Wanless server
And not just a spell: it's curtains. Bearnol has retired, his server is crashed.Dirk Broer wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 5:50 amThere seems to be a new spell of unavailableness at the Wanless server
andHi Dirk,
Thanks very much for your concern. Actually I’m fine thanks - hope you are too - though project is no more
Regards,
James
You’re right, the server has crashed - probably beyond repair - and although I have replacement servers available (and even a very recent backup), I think the time has come really to move on, much as I’ve enjoyed my time with BOINC…
There are other factors of P2203 already known, and theoretically we could/could have found them, as well as possibly even some new one(s), but I have been gradually coming to realise that my algo would really only work significantly better on larger numbers, and given that I’m close to retirement anyway I didn’t quite have the energy to change the setup on the server to target a larger M+2 — maybe I’ve just grown too attached to P2203 over the years :)
