Maybe a temporary solution for the time estimation would be to set rsc_fpops_est for the PythonGPUbeta app to the same value we have in the PythonGPU app?
This approach is wrong.
The rsc_fpops_est should be set accprdingly for the actual batch of workunits, not for the app.
As test batches are much shorter than production batches, they should have a much less rsc_fpops_est value, regardless that the same app processes them.

I've made that observation back in 2017 on my 4th generation CPUs. I'm avare that this haven't changed much throughout the years, so I basically don't run CPU tasks and GPU tasks simultaneously on the same PC, except when I need that much heat output in the winter. Lately I rather reanimate a few older GPUs, instead of crunching on CPUs.

That's interesting.
You can track the change on the "applications" page.

Posted 795 days ago by Profile Retvari Zoltan
the 3080 Ti comes with LHR Malware factory installed.

depends on your use-case and/or goals. if you ONLY contribute to GPUGRID and/or mine Ethereum, then yes the 3080Ti isn't worth the price.
The performance of the GPUGRid app on 3080Ti is *not* limited by the LHR.

I sold off my 8x RTX 2070 cards to some miner for a nice profit, and replaced them all with 5x RTX 3070Ti cards. faster for the same total power use while freeing up CPU resources. Sold off my 7x RTX 2080 cards, and used the proceeds to upgrade several of my 2080Tis to 3080Tis. I now have 3 systems performing the same work with less power use than my previous setup with 4 systems.
This is true for Einstein@home, right?

My Ubuntu 20.04.3 machines updated themselves this morning to v7.18.1 for the 3rd time.
(available version: 7.18.1+dfsg+202202041710~ubuntu20.04.1)

Curious how your Ubuntu release got this newer version. I did a sudo apt update and apt list boinc-client and apt show boinc-client and still come up with older 7.16.6 version.
It's from http://ppa.launchpad.net/costamagnagianfranco/boinc/ubuntu
Sorry for the confusion.

You might as well carry your warnings over to the Windows crowd, which doesn't have much security at all.
Excuse me?
What comparable isolation do you get in Windows from one program to another?
Security descriptors introduced into the NTFS 1.2 file system released in 1996 with Windows NT 4.0. The access control lists in NTFS are more complex in some aspects than in Linux. All modern Windows use NTFS by default.
User Account Control is introduced in 2007 with Windows Vista (=apps doesn't run as administrator even if the user has administrative privileges until the user elevates it through an annoying popup)
Or what security are you talking about? Port security from external sources?
Windows firewall is introced with Windows XP SP2 in 2004.

This is my last post in this thread about (undermining) filesystem security.

I am on an isolated network behind a firewall/router. No problem at all.
That qualifies as famous last words.

It has lasted for many years.

EDIT: They are all dedicated crunching machines. I have only BOINC and Folding on them. If they are a problem, I should pull out now.
In your scenario, it's not a problem.
It's dangerous to suggest that lazy solution to everyone, as their computers could be in a very different scenario.

I see that the BOINC PPA distribution has been updated yet again - still v7.18.1, but a new build timed at 17:10 yesterday, 4 February.

Could somebody please check whether the Ubuntu LTS repo has been updated as well? Maybe somebody read my complaint to boinc_alpha after all. Still no replies.
