I had the same message as Yeti, showing that certificate expired at 17:12 pm on 12 01 2024, although I don't remember an additional "r". Something happened but now it is as you wrote Tim.
Keep going Tim, thanks for your effort and... remember you have 5 weeks only to stock up on gold, frankincense and myrrh! :D

Cool down boy, this is just boinc / hobby.

I have no problem with that. But I thought the sprint was a competition/race. If it's just a hobby then you can skip the sprints in the future. ;-)

Hi

Pardon? What are you talking about?

According to my browser, it says this:
Common Name (CN) www.formula-boinc.org
Organization (O) <Not Part Of Certificate>
Organizational Unit (OU) <Not Part Of Certificate>
Common Name (CN) E6
Organization (O) Let's Encrypt
Organizational Unit (OU) <Not Part Of Certificate>
Issued On Saturday, November 2, 2024 at 4:48:29 AM
Expires On Friday, January 31, 2025 at 4:48:28 AM
Maybe you should look at: https://www.formula-boinc.org as I do not know anything about the formular-boinc.org domain name...

regards
Tim

Weird, I was getting the certificate error before as well and had to accept http for every page I browsed in FB. Stupidly I didn't check the certificate. I was accessing through surfshark VPN which might have introduced a problem? If it happens again I'll see what's going on but it is fine now.

Certificate has been renewed "lundi 2 décembre 2024 à 07:41:43" :)

+ Asteroid website is back, I do see credits in l'AF stats yesterday but none for today, and I'm not sure if the FB stats were correctly impacted ?

Hi

I just checked here and if you scroll down to the "Status" section (on the right side) it looks like the website has been offline more than online during the last 12 hours.

https://grafana.kiska.pw/d/boinc/boinc? ... 12h&to=now

I would assume that the stats collection function (for each Sprint) is only tabulated during the hours that the Sprint is running. So, the Marathon stats will be updated as and when the Asteroids website is running again, but the Sprint credits in each league table may be affected.

But given that this is the same for everyone, the only people who may be affected by this are those who bunker completed tasks. But anyone who does this must be aware that they may not be validated or receive credit by the time the Sprint ends, if there is an issue with the project website.

Tim

Yes indeed. One has to look at any problem with some degree of humour...life is too short to be taking everything seriously ALL the time :lol:

When I opened the forum, I got a warning from my browser, that the certificat had expired / was no longer valid. It had expired 20 minutes before my forum-post

I see that it has been fixed already but you should inform Sebastian, he must know it.

Hi Tim,

I suppose the stats update is processed per user and per team, so it wasn't equal enough, to be honest.

For example, I have lost some places because my stats wasn't updated since saturday and some users were lucky to be updated on Sunday night. That's how it works in case of project issues.

I don't know if we can propose an additional coding for Sebastian. That could be an emergency script that catch up the stats based on 'Time reported' value for uploaded tasks. But that should be designed carefully, it's too much to think of, I understand ;)

Otherwise we could cut off a 'bad day' and make a sprint even shorter.

This time our race was red-flagged and the track authorities refused to continue it. My car had a transponder issue, that happens :D

Hi

As I recall, there are at least two sets of stats available as XML files.

One is for users and the other is for teams.

They could be updated (by the project) at different times and they could be accessed (and downloaded) at different times.

So, they can only be valid at the time when they were imported into the FB tabulation scripts (and assuming they have higher credit values than the previous downloaded stats).

Any issues therefore at any point in the chain, such as a server issue with the project, a power outage anywhere on the internet, or any data loss or disconnection can cause the FB League tables to be "stuck" at the previous update.

And as the FB Leagues are compiled and displayed based on whatever data has been made available, so there is always a chance that a problem earlier on in the chain can cause issues with the FB website and its ability to display the most recent stats.

As mentioned, if there is a problem with the project (either being offline or the stats are not exported correctly or on time) so there's NOTHING for FB to display EXCEPT the previous stats that were collected successfully. So, no extra coding can magically make stats appear, if the project does not update them.

However, the one thing I did ask Sebastien to include (but which hasn't happened) is for the Sprint League tables to show the time of when the last data set was correctly downloaded. So, at least members would know that at least a few hours of stats had been collected previously.

We therefore have to 100% rely on the projects and their power suppliers and their internet connections to be working 24/7 during the Sprints. If not then the chain breaks and we can do nothing to make this any better.

regards
Tim
