Undoing Aging 2021 Update
Undoing Aging 2020 has become Undoing Aging 2021 and has been moved to
May 13–15, 2021 in Berlin, Germany. Our Tamir Chandra, Ke Cheng, Aubrey
de Grey, João Pedro de Magalhães, Vera Gorbunova, Michael Greve, Adiv A. Johnson, Jamie Justice, Jeanne Loring, and Wenyu Zhou will be
speaking/participating.
Undoing Aging 2021 is not only open to the scientific community, but
also welcomes startups, investors, the general media, and all interested
members of the broader rejuvenation movement. The conference will
feature a student poster session showing the work of innovative
undergraduate and graduate students in the field of damage repair.

CentOS 8 Comes to Lifeboat.com!
Building on scripts created by the great Chris Haley, we have now
upgraded our main lifeboat.com machine from CentOS 6 to CentOS 8. CentOS is a version of Linux, the world’s most popular operating system
which runs on everything from Android smartphones to supercomputers.
Besides increasing our security, our software is now running much faster
than before with blog posts being generated 10 times as fast and our
workload has been reduced by 5 times. As a side benefit, linode.com also
changed us from an Intel chip to an AMD chip that is 25% faster than the
Intel chip. (In each case we were assigned just 6 of the many cores of
the chip we are running on.) Intel no longer makes the fastest CPUs and
linode.com is slowly switching to AMD chips instead.
Our various support machines are all currently running CentOS 7. (Our
older main machine fell behind them because it is very difficult to
upgrade our main machine which is running a lot of programs.) Our next
big upgrade will be to upgrade our support machines to CentOS 9 in a few
years. Finally, when we mention “machines”, we are really talking about
virtual instances in the cloud where we rent some of the cores, memory,
and disk space of large servers.
