What you can do with idle Computing Power?

This time we are going to see how to use idle computing power to do something good or make profit

1.Volunteer computing :
        It is an arrangement in which people (volunteers) provide computing resources to projects, which use the resources to do distributed computing and/or storage.

Simply donating the idle computing power to someone,Sounds cool right

 where it is used and what you can do with that ?
     Scientist have many problems to deal with such as finding a New planet,analyzing outer space,finding cure for cancer or other disease. They need lot of computational power to do this kind of project. Many scientist cannot spent their Funds entirely in computational power. So

                     BONIC - Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing

BONIC is created to address this problem anyone with computer connected to the internet can donate the computing power.It use the idle time on your computer to cure diseases, study global warming, discover pulsars, and do many other types of scientific research.

If you want to know about the projects under BIONIC you can check the below link

       " https://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php

And other cool thing about this project is you can also donate your Mobile power (Android,IOS )

2. Rendering Animation
      First we need to know what is rendering ?
          When you create animation in the software it is just store the details as equation,relations of objects ( Mathematical stuff ) in order to make it into 2D or 3D we will render it which is done automatically by the software but it takes huge amount of time.

well we have a solution for that -> Donate the computing power 

Here we are going to discuss donating power for Blender animation software ( It is free and open-source 3D computer graphics software toolset used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D printed models, interactive 3D applications and video games ) 

It can done through a program called Sheep it
people can upload their project to their site and the person can share his username and password which can used to login with sheep it client and we can set the number of cores and memory which can used by the process and press the start

3. Mining cryptocurrency
    Everyone know about this topic. Cryptocurrency uses computational power to blockchain integrity and Security.Mining currency is big trend right now you can earn lot if you use your computational power But it have lot of pros and cons.

If you want to know more about mining cryptocurrency you can refer the site below

Newsboat RSS Reader

Let me tell what is rss reader then i will explain about newsboat,. RSS stands for Rich Site Summary. Simply it is way to subscribe to webpages and when new article is published you can see through the feeds. you get the idea Newsboat is a terminal rss reader which is simple, easy to use and highly customizable how to find rss feed link ?                                   simple trick that i used to find rss feeds in a website check for rss image like above [OR] Right click the website -> view page souce and search for rss copy the link and paste it in urls file in the .config/newsboat/urls (for linux and mac) RSS feeds from twitter: https://twitrss.me/twitter_user_to_rss/?user=<USERNAME> https://www.twitrss.me/twitter_search_to_rss/?term=<SEARCH TERM> example: https://twitrss.me/twitter_user_to_rss/?user=Hytale https://www.twitrss.me/twitter_search_to_rss/?term=Hytale RSS feeds from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id

Ecosia

ECOSIA - A Green search engine “ Ecosia donates 80% profits to planting trees” Site: www.ecosia.org Lauched on 7 th December 2009 and created by Christian Kroll available in more than 26 language. It is located in Berlin, Germany.It is also called as CO2-neutral company.Ecosia has donated to different tree-planting programs. Until December 2010 Ecosia’s donations went to a program by WWF Germany that protected the Juruena-National park in the Amazonas. In order to make sure the protection was kept up, the program also drew up and financed plans with timber companies and the  local communities. According to B-labs, as of January 2015, "In donating 80 percent of its ad revenue, the search engine has raised over $1.5 million for rainforest protection since its founding in December 2009." According to Ecosia, by 2015, the search engine had almost 2.5 million active users, and searches through it had resulted in more than 2 million trees being planted.Since October 201
