I ended up driving to Canberra to pickup a new Ryzen 7900 CPU as there were no new ones for sale in Sydney. I can get the Ryzen 7900X CPU but not the non-X version. There are plenty of second-hand ones but you never know if they'll work or for how long. I've now ordered another motherboard, SSD and cooler. This should join the CPU compute nodes.

The two GPU compute nodes had Linux installed, are back on the wire rack and running now. I have 4 of these at the moment.

Einstein@home implemented https traffic for their uploads and downloads so no more caching of files. Its also prevented a bunch of people still running Windows 7 from uploading. We're not sure if it because Win7 doesn't support TLS 1.3 or certificate issues.
