SETI@home "clearout"

Post by UBT - Timbo »

Hi all

I just logged into the SETI@home website and wondered if anyone was still posting on their message boards...and they are !!

But I came across this post (from March 2022) which is a bit sad, as it shows the various servers being sent "down to the (Berkeley) university's Excess and Salvage department":

No doubt various parts have been scrapped or re-used in various other departments...but the end of an era for distributed computing enthusiasts/hobbyists.

regards
Tim

Sad news indeed, that's where it all started for me. And many others, I suspect.
