Folding@Home
Why exactly is Folding@Home doing their own thing releasing their own client and omitting integration with a renowned platform like BOINC?
I'm sitting here baffled by the immense influx of new grid computing participants (apparantly there's been a "call to arms" by graphics card manufacturer Nvidia) with huge gaming pc power that managed to saturate all available work units of Folding@Home within a couple of days.
Now I'm seeing quite a few end users bemoan the lack of work units. Am I wrong to think that if Folding@Home were run off of BOINC there would be at least a chance end users would participate in other Projects?
Don't get me wrong, I greatly applaud the gamer community for getting done what 8 supercomputers could not in this timeframe. We really need this.
However, I'm very skeptical of Folding@Home's modus operandi here.

Stitched together an online #map service for #Austria based on #OpenStreetMap components. It's pretty early but should be fully usable for (car) routing at https://map.cyano.at
Finding a place (or two when plotting a route) still goes outside to a Nominatim server at OSM but I'm hoping to host that one myself too so every bit of data stays on-site.

Mir geht's leidlich, nicht so ganz gut, will aber nicht drüber gross reden.
Und Du? Bist Du noch in Krems? s' war doch Krems, oder...
Ja, alles Liebe in diesen irren Zeiten.

Ich bin zwischenzeitlich nach St. Pölten gezogen und hab mich hier ganz gut eingelebt - Verbindung nach Wien der Arbeit wegen ist auch bombastisch besser als von Krems aus. Die Railjets sind schon sauschnell und komfortabel.
