Re Nibi going down for a working week:

Here's what I posted when the same thing was mentioned somewhere in the previous version of the Project Status thread...
WCG never mentioned it, and it's now well past the start of that down time and all bits of WCG apart from core BOINC and that discourse server are still up and running, so DIgital Research Alliance Canada's statement seems sound...

Perhaps at some point in the future DRA will adapt their user-facing documentation to replace references to Graham Cloud with references to Nibi Cloud? We'll see...

Now, let's hope that the goings on in the Nibi compute cluster don't spill over onto the cloud structure later in the week -- Dylan seems to be nearing the end of what needs sorting out :-)

Cheers - Al.

Following the existing link on the first page of this thread, I eventually got to this and wanted to share it:


and hovering over the "in 3 days", you can get the following information:
ETA on end time is 2025-09-26 12:00 PM EDT
The balance of that page is as follows:

So, the solution to the problem is not, as most everyone believes, to be within the realm of WCG but with the group that hosts the servers we use(we were migrated to Nibi from a section that they have retired).

And as I perceive their messages, I do not expect WCG to be able to be up and processing WU's NO SOONER THAN THIS FRIDAY, September 26th.

As others have indicated, There is nothing wrong at your end, nor do you need to do anything other than wait...

September 25th email from Igor juris at ai.utoronto.ca Dear Daniel - thank you for your support and patience.
I should have an update later today - and if Dylan does not run into
another challenge - boinc on wcg may be restarting today -

thank you

-- Sent: WCG resume after NIBI overhaul?
Hello could you elaborate on the realistic timetable for world community grid resumption after cloud NIBI overhaul scheduled for completion tomorrow?  I am having to manually pause and resume my backup project, Einstein@home across my farm to keep busy while WCG is down and hate to keep guessing if i should resume it yet again. Remaining steps, timetables?

Thanks for all you do. 

i look forward to the next chapter of community Distributed Computing, perhaps eventually involving more than just Jurisca and Princess Margaret Cancer Center by attracting interest by showing reliability success viability. Perhaps developing DC platform that not only supports the traditional small data sets that requires millions of permutations,  but also larger, more network intensive to open up to more applications that would normally require local compute cluster.  Capability computing versus Capacity computing someone calls it.

The due times have been extended again by four more days.

My oldest tasks are now due on Tuesday 30 September (2025-09-30 04:56:57 UTC).

Yes, that (at the moment) seems to be the only indication that "something/someone's at home". Obviously, I'm seriosuly hoping that this isn't the case. but this continued "radio scilence" doesn't help... The last comment on the Jurisica Lab Operational Status web page, was from the 18th, titled "Forum issues detected". Nothing about when the BOINC servers will be restarted etc.
