Asteroids@home: Big maintenance planned
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.

And out of tasks after two days, but that's expected- a LOT of CPUs looking for work.

The link for BOINC is ...

Edit to add >>>>
10 hours ago a user had posted on the project forums about getting a "403 / forbidden access error" than received a "504 / gateway timeout" but no response from the project admins.

Looking at the Kiska graphs https://grafana.kiska.pw/d/boinc/boinc?orgId=1&var-project=Asteroids@Home it shows a frequent up and down availably of Asteroids.
