Don't ask me how Bolivia has managed it. All I can say is that it is four times the size of the UK with only a sixth of the population. Unfortunately Santa Cruz has about 2 million people who have the attitude that if told by the government to turn left, they would all walk to the right. Today as I type we have a lockdown forced by the opposition political parties who are doing a Trump and claiming (without evidence) that the election was a fraud (because their party did not win). Nothing to do with COVID, just sheer bloody mindedness.

Hi all,

Yep but it almost didn't happen, I posted a few months back about a server I picked up cheaply but couldn't make it quiet so I didn't run it and put it on Ebay, surprisingly no-one wanted it so I kept it and made a plywood box for it. It's been running in my garage for a couple of months now. Don't worry I wont catch you before you hit the billion points (I did look it up though )

It's an Apollo R2600 Gen10, can support up to 224 physical cores but I've only got 1 node in it with 48 cores. I picked up the node for £240, hard to say no when it'll run QL1K ES 8160 processors which are as cheap as chips too. Shame about the noise but it's tame enough now, just wishing I'd taken the plunge and bought more nodes, they're £600-£900 normally I just didn't know enough about them when that deal was available.

250 years that's amazing, shame there's no badge to highlight that.

Well done Mamajuanauk, managed to bag an SCC badge myself on Tuesday - nice birthday present!
Wont be able to catch up on all the badges you guys have but need 1 more 100 to catch you up on those.
