Nostalgia tahun 2000an gabung SETI@home. Saking bangganya sampai contribution certificate nya di-print, dibingkai, dan dipajang di tembok.

Sekarang jadinya pengen coba iseng-iseng ikutan boinc.

Kennt ihr noch SETI@home? Das war in den 90ern (?!) recht populär - zumindest unter den Nerds wie ich 🤓

Man konnte sich da eine Software herunterladen und dann mit seinem eigenen Computer zu Hause mithelfen, in astronomischen Daten nach außerirdischem Leben zu suchen.

Das Projekt läuft mittlerweile nicht mehr, aber es gibt einen Nachfolger, der sich auch nicht mehr nur auf astronomische Berechnungen beschränkt: Science United

Science United lets you supply computing power to science research projects in a wide range of areas

A friendly reminder: if you have some computing power to spare (e.g. while you sleep), consider contributing to https://scienceunited.org.

It can run in a #Docker container or in a #VirtualMachine on your overpowered #AppleSilicon.

I like the idea that we can all actively contribute to global challenges.

I have started using #BOINC with #ScienceUnited to use the spare computing resources on my #MacMini #server. Science United seems great as they don't require users to specify projects — instead you choose fields to support. This makes sure that it's not only massive projects that have access to volunteer computing.
