I havent done this for quite some time. Trying to get back into it. I've downloaded and installed Bionic but when trying to add a project I'm not seeing SETI@Home as a project name. Is it under a different name? Not sure where to go from here.

Still possible to add it by putting in https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ . Not accepting new users so you can only add it if you have an account.

Seti@Home has been gone since 31 March 2020, when it went into what they called a "hibernation". It's unlikely that SETI@home will ever come back again.

Yeah, but why add a project that haven't had any work for years, and are unlikely to ever come back? :-)

One could also ask, "Why keep the infrastructure running when there is no intention to revive the project?"

Probably only for the forum, and the forum connection to BOINC, and the DB. Otherwise I think all old posts could not be searched or read, and the credits and other stats, users have could not be seen.

To me, it would make sense to disable the bit of the server that connects to the client or failing that have a notice to the client that equates the project with a Norwegian Blue.

If your a seti@home user you can still sign in to their site and view everything

Provided a user has not deleted, or had their account deleted, you can see a list of the computers they used, their total credits,and their RAC at the time the project shutdown. You can also see their most recent results, but that list is very limited, and may be empty if they stopped crunching long before S@H shut its doors.

And of course the forums are still active, and can be searched a long way back.

There is always https://boinc.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=8105

The Norwegian Blue is merely sleeping, "pining for the fjords" in its dreams. Ni!
