Title: Help fight Covid-19 with your computer!
Post by: ry0t on April 21, 2020, 12:56:36 AM
I am helping in the fight against COVID by setting up my computer to use software from Berkeley that researches and designs new proteins. If you would like to help download the software at https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php) then make a username and password and connect to Rosetta@home (http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/)

Was chasing that Covid-19 virus around the house. I was all ready to smash it with my monitor, but I stopped myself just in time. Got my gun and went after that virus, again. Got it the first shot! But put a big hole in my monitor at the same time.

every help is valuable to the world now as long as you are doing this really to help and not just to your own benefits because if does then you are just using the Pandemic to make a living.

Anyway Goodluck and will decide to download or not later today.

I really wish this can be done safely. Maybe they have strong and good policy on privacy, anonymity and things like that?

One really need to be careful in a world of spying and illegal surveillance with little to no consequences to offenders
