    Question Most Secure Home Routers

    Plug for the Synology RT2600AC model. I've had it about a year so far and it's been stable and is regularly updated. My experiences with their NAS devices was the same, which is why I gave the routers a shot. So far I've been pleased.

    Oh boy! Time slipped by me again. If it's not too late, count me in. Folding under 'wingding'. I'll get the rig fired up. Thanks!

    Ethereum GPU mining?

    Ok, here goes.... There's a sucker born every minute. ;) Seriously though, do you think that one day there will be a huge awakening when all the people throughout the world have a special moment of realization that all digital coins have no value? It seems to me that as long as there are...

    GUIDE: Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon with Nvidia GPU(s)

    @stefan It appears that somewhere along the way I did indeed lose my localhost whitelist...user error no doubt. I got that edited in and now I'm back to being able to monitor my system using FAHControl. To all in this thread: Thanks for the continued support of my bumbling linux adventure

    GUIDE: Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon with Nvidia GPU(s)

    Both are good. For some reason the FAHControl on the actual folding machine itself is not connecting with the FAHClient. So I'm unable to monitor the client locally or remotely.

    GUIDE: Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon with Nvidia GPU(s)

    Similar problem with monitoring using hfm.net. Started out working fine, but now the FAHControl on my linux box appears to be stuck at "connecting" to the client. So it's not feeding any info to my monitoring computer, but it appears the the FAHClient is still running. Anyone have a fix for a...

    The 12th Annual Folding@Home Holiday Season Race

    Thanks for the stats Peter! @Mark - I've had to reinstall my nvidia drivers on both comps that the Fall Windows update has run on. Highly annoying, especially if you are trying to get some folding done.

    GUIDE: Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon with Nvidia GPU(s)

    @Tony, I retried the steps you mentioned from the guide with no love. @biodoc, restarting the FAHClient after loading to desktop and waiting a few minutes also does not work. Any ideas how a guy gets the CUDA/OpenCL drivers installed? I've just been using this command to download and install...

    GUIDE: Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon with Nvidia GPU(s)

    It looks like the Nvidia drivers are indeed installed. FAH is setup to start automatically at boot. Here's the log:

    GUIDE: Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon with Nvidia GPU(s)

    Bad penny reporting in... So I have tried 6 different drivers now and all of them give me the same result. I've even tried a clean install and followed through the guide again. I install mint 18.2 (18.3 will not work), I follow the guide, then upgrade to 18.3 (I've tried not upgrading as...
