Doing some cable management to my Tablet mining rig
Hi everyone, Today, I spent some time in the morning doing some cable management to the area where I have my mining tablets: Those tablets are contributing to distributed computing projects that runs using the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing software, which is also available for Android devices, so my Android tablets are currently contributing to the yoyo@home project and to World Community Grid if there’s no yoyo tasks available for them. You can see I made use of…
Participating in the yoyo@home BOINC challenge
Hi everyone, It’s been 2 days since the yoyo@home BOINC challenge started.

Some projects that are currently running there are the Siever, distributed.net’s OGR challenge, Perfect Cuboids, and more. I’m running this project in my machines and here are some screenshots of BOINC with the project attached. They are…
cmix_gui v1.0r3 – More improvements to the cmix_gui Graphical User Interface
Repository: https://github.com/moisespr123/cmix_gui Hi everyone, Yesterday, I introduced you to my graphical user interface cmix_gui, for the cmix compression software. Today, I continued working with cmix_gui and made 2 major improvements to it. File preprocessing v1.0r2 which I worked today morning adds support for the -s argument of cmix, which preprocesses a file using a dictionary (In this case, with the provided english.dic file). You can also throw a folder to the software and it will preprocess each file inside the folder and subfolders. Also note that…
Introducing cmix_gui
Repository: https://github.com/moisespr123/cmix_gui Hi everyone, Today, I started working on a new GUI (Graphical User Interface) for another excellent compression software which works only on the command line. This compressor is called cmix and was created by Byron Knoll. It is also open source and released under the GPL license. This is what cmix looks under the command prompt: It’s very simple to use there. If you want to compress a file, you pass the -c parameter along with the input file and an output…
A simple script to compress files using the very powerful PAQ8PX compression software
Hi everyone, Today, I’d like to share with you a Python script I wrote that enables file and folder compression using the latest version of the powerful PAQ8PX compression software. PAQ is a compression software originally developed by Matt Mahoney and released under the GPL license. It has a lot of contributors and has had lots of changes since it was originally introduced. PAQ8PX is one of the most powerful (and slowest) compression software that is actively under development. You…
