Hello,

Just wanted to drop a quick message that even though I have been AWOL/MIA for a while, I'm currently back to lurking on [H].

Haven't folded in a while (8+ years...) mostly on account of the astronomical electricity prices here in Germany (did some moving). If I ever move to a country with less nutty kWh prices, I would very much like to dive back into the fold, if you catch my drift :)
 
Welcome back. It's ok top lurk around our DC forum ;)

I'm in California where the electricity cost is one of the highest in US but still lower than Germany/Europe in general. I'm using less of my old xeon rigs which is power hungry and move over to AMD. There are some of us doing DC using pi and/or phone. These are very efficient devices.
 
I'm doing a lot of software development on RPi boards and kin due to a project I'm running (NymphCast), so if those are efficient platforms, I could maybe run those as DC rigs when they're not being used for testing or compiling. That'd be interesting :)
 
Welcome back. Lurk all you want. We'll make more. For high electricity rates, I recommend waiting for just challenges to help offset the costs. Plus utilizing the heat from the rigs to subsidize heating the home.

Glad to see another Old Timer back here!

Just a couple of posts down is the raspberry pi thread… or use this handy link:

Honestly a pi doesn’t generate many points for folding at home, but they work great on some Boinc projects!

I'll have to brush up on my knowledge, I notice. Guess I do have a few things to catch up on after being away so long :)

I figured RPis aren't great for F@H, since last I remembered GPUs were the cat's pajamas, and Cortex-A CPUs aren't exactly known for being performance houses.

Did a bit of a tour around the world, working at a job in Germany, and did job interviews around the world, even visiting the US a few times, too. Currently slacking off as a freelancer :)
