There is going to be a big maintenance starting 2025-08-17 and it will take about 1 - 2 weeks. We'll be doing upgrade of Debian and BOINC server. We are going to make complete backup before that which will take some time.

Good luck, God speed, and may the Force be with you?

Are you going to implement a separate science database along with the working database so we don't have 8 months of old data still in our accounts to load every web page visit?

Last big maintenance was for months...hope that one would be for 2 weeks.
Good luck.

I thought that this Project was retired ??

Good luck. As a person who began working in IT in 1970, I know that Murphy's Law is real, so we must all plan accordingly. Patience is definitely a virtue when it comes to rebuilding and/or upgrading complex systems. Put on your noise-cancelling headphones - you don't need to hear anything but your own thoughts and music. Again, good luck.

Best of luck not to wake the demon Murphy.

I hope you use that opportunity to get rid of the external scripts - and especially those freaking Google ones - on this site.
Thanks in advance!

In October 1969 I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
There was no expiration date.

In https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/host_stats.php, there seems to be (at least when I just checked) a bunch of:

Notice: Undefined variable: v in /home/boincadm/projects/boinc/html/user/host_stats.php on line 94

And:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/boincadm/projects/boinc/html/user/host_stats.php:94) in /home/boincadm/projects/boinc/html/inc/util.inc on line 278

Had to use a third part certificate work-around to get any work and the stats pages linked to in our profiles still can't access the exported data, likely because of the same missing certificates.

Good to hear it I'm not the only one. Could you detail your solution I'd like to give it a whirl.
Is it a certificate file i add or replace to BOINC?

Not my solution as such, you can find the steps here: https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=1153#9137

Trying to add asteroids@home to BOINC:

Unfortunately the job isn't finished as all the required server certificates were not updated.

My Windows systems are receiving and completing tasks is the "certificate" issue only Linux related ?

Bill F

Looks Like, my windows computer works without problem for days. Linux on other hand is empty.
Also stats exports is affected most probably be certyficate issue.
