SETI @ Home ends after 21 years of research


Since May 1999, people around the world have participated in Seti@home. According to Seti@home’s page, it is an Internet-based public volunteer computing project employing the BOINC software platform created by the Berkeley SETI Research Center and is hosted by the Space Sciences Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley.

I was a member of the Seti@home community from 2006 until the program ended on March 31, 2020.
