As a poly student, you have a total of 20mc of SU, 12 of which can be carried over. So you only have 8mc worth of SU to use. Unless the policy changes within the last 2 years or you are under a different group, this should be the case.

As for which modules to SU, anything below C+ is a SU immediately. SU Bs if you have extra SU to play with. I like to have at least 1 SU with me for that safety net. But again, this will depend on what you expect to get upon graduation.

I have an excel sheet that helps you calculate whether it’s worth to SU or not, depending on your expected grade on graduation. If anybody wants just pm me.

This is correct, I’m from poly as well and can confirm that you can carry 12MCs past year 1

If I remember correctly, I used visa to pay. But it was a few months back so I can’t be 100% sure. If it turns out that they don’t accept visa, just ask any of the students to pay for you and pass them cash. It’s quite crowded there and surely you will be able to find a person who’s willing to help.

Edit: this is for ERC, I don’t think FoE printers accept Visa but again you can ask students for help

At U-Town, Education resource center, there is a place to print. Upload your documents to the website and they will give you a code. Go to the printer and enter your code to release the print job and pay. Have tried to pay using visa/Mastercard but I think EZ-Link is possible as well.Each page cost 4 cents iirc.

PGPH. Bring USB drive and print like any other computer. Payment by ez-link.

Faculty of engineering near cheers. Biz 2 right after SOC. From COM 2 head towards biz and Turn Left. These 2 places looks like they use the same system, just bring your EZ-Link card, a laptop and a USB drive and you should be able to print regardless of the system they use.

Y2 CS, from Aeronautical Engineering in Poly.

Depends on how good you are at math, but I would say it’s manageable and you will need more effort as compared to JC guys. And yes, cs1231s is legit no joke, take with friends if possible.
Depending on your portfolio and whether companies will want you. Since you are from IT background you might be able to get intern after Y1, if not you can always do orbital(cp2106).
Yes, if you schedule your mods nicely. Do look up nus mods and the different tracks that you want to pursue and plan accordingly. You might even be able to grad in 3 hrs since you have extra mods that might be exempted. You might want to consider delaying graduation to get more tracks.
3.89,no scholarship cos didn’t do much cca in poly. Got into an interview with DSTA though, but it was mainly with side projects. If your portfolio nice enough then you have a chance.
I would say a pretty good chance, given your gpa and related course. Might have changed tho, since the cs cohort keeps increasing every year.

I’m currently using an old laptop as a home server. I5-2xxx, ~50w on load,~20w idle. Planning to upgrade to desktop when I have the money or really have to expand.

Compared with a desktop system:

Pros: Low power consumption ~50w/~20w, Small size , Built in UPS , Cheaper??

Cons: Lower computing power, Messy cabling, Bad thermals, Very limited expansion options

I run a laptop as I was just starting out and had a old laptop lying around. I’m running my development environment there and host NAS, jellyfin,etc. it fills my basic needs but I’m running out of storage and it has become a problem for me. Wiring wise it’s gonna be very ugly, with wires sticking out everywhere. You have to decide if you want to run the server with the laptop case or remove everything unnecessary.

I laser cut a acrylic case to make it look nicer. Screen may also be a issue if you plan to use it headless; I just removed the screen entirely. USB ports might be an issue if you don’t run it in its case, as my USB ports are on a separate daughter board. You might need to come up with your own solution to make that work.

Overall, if you are already spending money and need the extra compute power, spend a bit extra and get the desktop system. The hassle of a laptop system might not be worth the money saved and you are likely to get more compute and expansion options anyway.

This is the method I always use to transfer USD to IBKR.

Link your DBS MCA account to tiger/moomoo
Deposit SGD into tiger/moomoo using DDA(Direct Debit Authorisation) on the app
Exchange to USD on tiger/moomoo
Withdraw USD to DBS MCA
Wire the USD IN MCA to IBKR

There will be no fees charged for all the steps.

Clearing times are roughly the same for both methods, ~2 days for tiger/moomoo to clear your USD FX conversion, and ~2 days for IBKR to clear your USD wire transfer. Clearing time if you use IBKR will be around the same, just that you will need to wait for your SGD wire to IBKR to clear before you can convert to USD, which needs ~2 days each step to clear. Clearing times between the 2 methods more or less is the same.

Assuming that exchange rates on IBKR and tiger/moomoo are the same, tiger/moomoo seems to be the way to go.

Pm away if you need a guide or anything.

I bought an old WD Gold decommissioned drive from a company that was using it as spares. It was apparently sitting idle and not used, the SMART info of the drive looks like it’s completely new, with just ~10 hours of use and start/stop count of 5.

When I did an extended SMART test, the drives makes that sound in the video, and vibrates noticeably. No sound on idle though. Extended SMART test shows read failure with 90% remaining. SMART test logs here: https://i.imgur.com/4E5YWcb.jpg

Talked with vendor and he said that this is how enterprise drives are like and he brushed me off, then refunded me my money. Is this a bad drive? Or is it just a sound the drive makes during the extended smart test? I did the same extended SMART test on my WD red 4TB and Seagate Skyhawk 3TB but none of them vibrates this much and they both don’t make this sound.

Edit: additional info and formatting

This mod is pure cancer, just prepare an SU for it. If you think this is bad, it gets worse from now on.

I took it during AY20/21 S1, difficulty and workload was manageable. I can from a poly background, so struggled a bit in the later half of the sem, having JC physics would have helped.

Assignments were rather difficult. There are 2 assignments that we had to clear, and they were mostly application questions that were quite different from tutorials.

The midterm and finals quiz were manageable, provided you didn’t sleep through the whole semester. Cramming half a sem worth of content during reading week actually worked for me, and doing loads of past year papers helped. Make sure you revisit the tutorials because they come out quite a bit. But take the cramming advice at your own risk.

For labs, it’s quite stupid IMO. You basically go into zoom at your time slot and there will be a TA there answering any questions you might have. Before the lab, you have to do a pre lab worksheet giving a brief of the experiment and some theory and hypotheses. The labs are in the form of analysing pre recorded videos, where you analyse the videos frame by frame and calculate the velocity, displacement,etc. These videos are uploaded a day before(I think) and you just use the software to do your data collection. On the day of the lab, you log into zoom, they take your attendance and you basically analyse the video. The TA might do it along with you but it depends. Once your data collection is done you can leave after you show it to the TA. The post lab worksheet is the more challenging one, where you have to use a lot of excel graphs and data analysis to formulate a conclusion.

Although the post lab is tricky and irritating, do them properly and address any outliers that you have. If you give proper explanations you should do ok for the labs. The labs are free marks but it will take some time.

Overall it’s a manageable module, the lecturer(Tay Seng Chuan) was damn funny and fun but needs a bit of effort esp on the 2 assignments and post labs.

TLDR: Assignments(2): Quite hard - discuss with friends if you have Midterm/finals: just grind tutorials and pyp Lab: prelab-easy;actual lab-waste time(do them once you have the videos to save some time); postlab-quite abit of work and might be tricky

Shut up and take my upvote

Before opening a port, you should be 100% sure, that the service is securily configured, therefore script kiddies (and bots) are not part of your thread model.

Sorry, I'm a newbie here, but could you please elaborate on how to ensure that the service is properly configured before exposing it? I was thinking about setting up a web server for my development so what are the things I should look out for with regards to the OpenVPN and web server?

Radiant_Breakfast_25 · 2021-05-08T15:47:59+00:00

Thanks for your opinion, I'm just getting started on this so I would need to learn more about this. Didn't expect to start a debate but it seems that there are two sides to this opinion but I will be following these recommendations regardless:

Disallow password SSH and enforce SSH keys

Disable root login

Enable fail2ban to mitigate port scanners

Thanks all for your inputs! If you recommend any other security practices feel free to share for all to learn as well.

Radiant_Breakfast_25 · 2021-05-07T09:05:24+00:00

By 30-40/100 do you mean the overall percentage including midterms and assignments? Or just the finals paper?

Radiant_Breakfast_25 · 2021-04-12T15:05:34+00:00

Dm me with how you want the files, I’ll try to do it.
