staff blogs

distributed.net staff keep (relatively) up-to-date logs of their activities in .plan files. These were traditionally available via finger, but we've put them on the web for easier consumption.

Stats down again

Filed under: stats @ 22:22 +00:00

One of the three power supplies in our stats server has failed again, causing it to be unstable while operating on the remaining units.  We’re in the process of trying to get the failed unit replaced, but it may take a few days.

Until then, all results sent by dnetc clients will be saved by our keyservers and will be reflected once the stats server is brought back online.  Thanks for your support!

Stats back online

Filed under: stats @ 20:24 +00:00

The Stats server is now back online and has caught up on processing.  It just needed a power-cycling.

Stats temporarily unavailable

Filed under: stats @ 03:40 +00:00

Unfortunately, we’re having some problems with our stats server, but we’re hoping to have the issue fixed soon.  All work submitted by clients is being stored and will be reflected once our stats server is back online.  More details will be provided once they’re available.  Thanks for your patience!  ]:8)

Hi All,

Stats is back online and caught up. The dns record for stats.distributed.net
has been updated and will take effect within the next few hours.

At present, stats is operating in a read-only mode while we perform some
consistency checks. This means that any changes to teams, participant
information, etc is currently unavailable.

Thanks for your co-operation and patience. Moo! ]:8)

Our stats system is down while we attend to some unscheduled maintenance. We
hope to have it back online shortly.

Thanks for your patience and continued support! ]:8)

Stats will be a little delayed today and will likely be a little low
because we are currently processing some backlog that occurred today
due to a system outage. Tomorrow’s stats should have the delayed
results. Moo! ]:8)

Hi All,

Some of you may have received an email from stats indicating your password was
retrieved by googlebot:

you (or “crawl-66-249-68-177.googlebot.com” [66.249.68.177]) recently
requested the password for your distributed.net stats account.

This was a side effect of the temporary placeholder page put in place whilst
fritz (statsbox) was offline. Your password has not been disclosed to anyone
but you.

For now, I’ve blocked googlebot from accessing stats, until our robots.txt file
takes effect again.

Moo! ]:8)

Statsbox is back online. We used some of the downtime to thoroughly
upgrade the OS, software payload, RAID firmware, and add some more
RAM. Thanks for your patience!

It looks like fritz (statsbox) is experiencing some residual issues following
the problems within our provider earlier.

We’re working to resolve this as soon as possible. All work submitted will be
credited when stats is brought back online.

Thanks for your co-operation and patience. Moo! ]:8)

There are currently some network connectivity issues to the ISP where
our stats server is hosted. Until our provider’s connectivity is
restored to normal operations, the accessibility of our statistics
server may be impacted. Thanks for your patience! ]:8)
