Nothing. And it won't request tasks.

When you do an update, do you get "Not reporting
or requesting tasks" in the messages, or something else?

"Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. Requesting 0 seconds
of work, reporting 0 completed tasks"

Although I should mention that just now it finally started requesting
again, but now I get on occasion:

"No work sent"
"(won't finish in time) BOINC runs 95.1% of time, computation
 enabled 57.0% of that."

That's likely becuase I had computations disabled as there wasn't
anything to compute anyway!!!! This machine hasn't been able to
get work for several days. I had some tasks still but then ran
out due to the increasingly longer recovery from Tuesday's.
I try to keep a few hundred tasks in the queue so I can weather
the increasingly numerous server downtimes.

But I am getting SOME tasks.

I'm dedicated to Seti. I've been here since it went online and
I've never done any other project. If Seti@Home is finally shut
down, then I'll consider something else.
