Excellent.
New Year celebrations starting at mid-day on Hogmanay and going on for a whole week.
Just like real life.

One good thing about nightshift from home is spending the night watching the NFL. Mind you Sunday night football is worth it just for the intro with Carrie Underwood

@davidbam Can I ask that all my remaining rental credit be put on this once we enter bunker territory ? For once I'd like to make a good showing as a last hurrah for the year. Cheers.

Not a problem although it'll actually be a first hurrah for 2022 as we don't need any NFS on FB2021

actually three systems have been on it since 26th Dec - I'll add some more when taking fresh bunkers as I don't mind who earns the credits (and it'll make sure you are getting value)

Thanks. I've added a stats table to post 1 to track the competition.

Well that's put a bit of a downer on my party. I was running the 14e and 15e apps for WuProp hours, didn't realise I was still on them, and that's them only now within bunker range. Didn't think to check that the 16e one were in bunker range days ago What a complete wally.

@davidbam Well I'm about to make a Christmas donation to TSBT cause to help get me some more resources on NFS at your discretion and a decent GPU for a bunker drop on PrimeGrid at the start of the next FB challenge as I'd like to get my total for that above 1 Billion. WuProp on the account always appreciated as I'm a sucker for hours accumulated and pointless shiny stars ...... mmmmmm shiny
Glad you did the dirty on cosmology, absolutely hate going near that project as it's never played well with me. I thank you

I checked the PG too - disregard the GPUs reported on the 3 attached machines, you really have a RTX 2070 Super, RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti. These will all drop in first few days of 2022

Stats on post #1 work. Changed date to proper start time now.
Is there a grace period for uploading tasks to NFS ? otherwise I will have to dump 2 systems pretty much after midnight. I have quite a few tasks on those 2 that expire prior to 1am.

re the grace period: maybe check the deadlines given on the NFS site? Some projects give a little longer than what WU would suggest.
I think you'll be safe to drop pretty sharply after midnight on the basis that Seb must take ending counts for FB2021 NFS marathon and I assume they become start counts for 2022 one. Mod Python, you say? Whatever is Mod Python?

#24 Re: 31/12 - 7/01 Hogmanay Hootenanny 2022 - NFS
You think some other teams are waiting until midnight ?
Remember the Hogmanay Hootenanny is on UTC, FB runs on CET, so we should be able to start dumping after 11pm UK time for it to count for FB 2022.
Gives a bit more wiggle room to see if the FB 2022 competition goes live at the correct time.
EDIT
Actually that's completely wrong. FB reports time as CET for updates but it claims 2 hours 50 mins to run, so FB is working on UTC same as the Hogmanay competition.

The last FB update was at 19:31 (CET) ('roon aboot tea-time) and there won't be another this year.
I suspect any uploaded NFS from then on will count for FB2022.
But just in case I'll wait until the bells. (Other than the minor unintentional dribble I've already let loose).

Looks like the new FB website is live. I guess it's bunker drop time and hope it updates correctly.

and if the server wasn't in enough distress, wait until that load starts flowing
to be fair, the BAM server isn't doing much better.

Going by stats on post one I'm afraid you are no longer the talk of the town @Megacruncher , seems @PecosRiverM did a bit of carpet bombing as well. Bam server totally borked now and nothing on FB at all.
