server outage / db crash again
The windows update has automatically restarted the PC in the night (was disabled), the database crashed. My 2 big backups of the VM are also corrupt including the last backups of the database. Unfortunately mysqdumper cannot import the correct numbers of tables so I used phpmyadmin with success, the last backup was from 13th so we have lost 4 days (not the reported work). I had no hope to reactivate the project but I did.

Pls stop all your old WUs. I will give credit for all the lost work. If you have registered in the last 4 days and your account is not recognized pls reregister.

I must remove all the current work and recheck all bases which results are missing. Also the TF work need to be resetup (not all I think).

Pls abort all GPU72 WUs
The cleanup from the testserver removed all current work in progress WUs due the access to the real database. Pls stop all the work. 19 Apr 2020, 15:27:49 UTC · Comment

mfakto linux app - update
We have a working mfakto linux app now including a new wrapper. Thx to DeleteNull to made this possible. Unfortunately the new wrapper doesnt understand checkpointing yet. We are working on it. For these longrunners its not recommended to run it except you have a fast GPU and 24/7. 13 Apr 2020, 19:51:12 UTC · Comment

I have removed the notification option "In a single daily email" in community preferences due a bug (email flooding every 5min). Let me know if you are getting any errors. 12 Apr 2020, 15:46:16 UTC · Comment
