Red lines started to appear again in the message logs, the first since about midnight CET... it's about the time that North America is waking up ;O

first night in a long time --no problems this AM.

Hahaha. It is just BOINC's self-protection mechanism trying to protest itself from WCG.

The line is subject to interpretation. What with "trying to protest"? What a waste of time it seems, but what I was trying to convey is that once more due the limited successful connectivity, work is getting to the point again of full depletion... simply not getting enough to bridge the outages, since the back-offs keep incrementing [and got other things to do than babysit or hammer update buttons]. As posted before, doing it again... the Linux quad is being switched off in 12 minutes, which is when the last task finishes [then even if switched on again in 9 days time, still in time before the deadline to connect / report]. WCG is not able to employ full time, so I'm not resisting the force majeure, reducing the carbon footprint at the same time. Tomorrow is another day.

I'm not sure whether this question belongs in this thread, but I recall Sekerob saying something about upload problems being counted against a machine, so I believe it does.

Starting yesterday evening, one of my machines is always being assigned a wingman for CFSW (for over 20 consecutive WUs). This is after correctly processing hundreds of WUs on that science, and there are no Errors or Invalids showing in Results Status. Is that likely to be an effect of the server problems? My other machines are still happily doing single validation, except when they get repair jobs.
