Gerasim server seems to have crashed. Old back-up restored, the crash was in a RAID-0 array............

I've switched my windows CPU systems onto here, since I see a few of us on it. My Linux CPU is now back on Wanless fot the marathon points, whilst all GPU's remain on Primegrid.

@Miklos M Up to you. Yoyo is better for the team FB marathon wise. Garasim is windows only , very short tasks and poor pay for the effort, plus we have no chance of improving or loosing our 18 points on FB. I've switched my Windows CPU's to it purely for the WUProp times and because I'm chasing some personal goals on FreeDC stats.

Thank you Alez, Yoyo it shall remain.

I keep my son's desktop on gerasim most of the time. If I had it on Yoyo it would get hot and noisy and slow down his gaming and he'd turn off boinc. It was also enough to keep us moving ahead of P3DN. This challenge might give them ideas although our lead is 12M so they're going to have to devote a lot of effort for what would be a net gain of just 6 FB points.

Especially as we are not far from flipping them on Wanless for another 6 point loss for them.

Yup, not a bad result given our effort.
As regards the FB marathon situation, TSBT remain in 2nd place 11.7M ahead of P3DN.
I'll keep Duncan's PC on it it, just so that they have a moving target to aim for, but there is no indication that anyone is planning to usurp our rightful second place!

To overcome that deficit would be a serious effort, probably far more effort that the points gained would be expected by any sensible team. I think Gerasim is in the bag for this year.

Sad person
I just looked at the piss poor pay from the project and thought, nah, too much effort
I sort of did the science, just in a lazy , non-empirical way
