rdfrkian<p>I found it cool they used the <a href="https://social.tulsa.ok.us/tags/BOINC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BOINC</span></a> system of distributed computing to find their solution. I would have gladly participated in the endeavor.</p>

Emil Jacobs - Collectifission<p>So, I blame <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fedi.stfn.pl/@stfn" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>stfn</span></a></span> but I reinstalled <a href="https://greennuclear.online/tags/BOINC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BOINC</span></a> again and besides Rosetta@home I now also run Asteroids@home.</p><p>So, are there any Mastodon teams?

stfn<p>Time to do some more <a href="https://fedi.stfn.pl/tags/boinc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BOINC</span></a> crunching.</p><p>Any fellow BOINC people out there? How are you doing?</p>
David Schultz<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@AenBleidd" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>AenBleidd</span></a></span> Hey, I don't know if I'm the first to propose this, but:</p><p>There should be a module to automatically turn <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BOINC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BOINC</span></a> on and off depending on the current supply situation of (green) electricity in one's local grid, e.g. by querying for current local KWh price.</p><p>Effects: 1. Fewer CO₂ emissions, 2. Fewer costs for people with smart meters, 3. Old hardware stays cost-effective longer, 4. At scale, more renewables can be added to the grid without wasting their capacity during peaks.</p><p>Cheers</p>
