Hi,
I probably mentioned a while back at a meeting that my laptop had a
problem where sometimes (seemingly unpredictably) one CPU core would be
locked at 100% by Xorg after booting up.
Eventually, I realised that changing my display manager from LightDM to

Hi all,
At least some of you know that I sell a GPL software product for a small
fee.
However, I'm thinking of charging more for business use. Does anyone

So it seems that while I'm computing for Folding@Home, I'm not on the

Are people interested in getting this going?
I could make us a poll to sort out how we're doing it. I like the idea
of subgroups - I think it'd be difficult otherwise cos we often have
subgroups having mini-conversations. That way we could also switch
between conversations at will.

Terry,
Work done is more of a measure of the computational difficulty of the
tasks you completed, not the number of tasks - some tasks are
shorter/simpler than others :)

Shutting down isn't a problem - it saves checkpoints and you can set how
often (by default you'll lose no more than 15 mins work). Presumably you
get extra security in a container? I'm just running it as installed by
the deb files.

Hi Tim,
Good idea. I'm already running Folding in the background on my desktop,
but I may be able to run rosetta on my Pi 3 with is on all the time
anyway. Hopefully it will run on arm.
Has anyone had luck getting GPU computing to work with Folding on AMD
GPUs? I've had no luck at all so far, but
I think a remote meetup would be nice. We could also use something like
Discord potentially. WhatsApp requires that they have your phone number
I believe - I won't be using that.

Ah, I see, that does appear to be a 3.5 inch model. Won't fit in my

I don't know if anyone here is into hobbyist drones or anything like
that, but I thought it might be a good place to ask.
I'm looking at building a raspberry pi based drone using a MultiWii
(http://www.multiwii.com) as the flight controller. I was wondering if
anyone knows where I can buy one?

I always used to use Nemo and Caja, but they are slow (1 connection at a
time only), and often don't let you retry if the network times out or
another error occurs... so you have to manually hunt out the files that
weren't copied/moved etc. So now I use FileZilla as recommended by Terry :D
