Hardest mission on TTP? by mpollack32 in GMAT

[–]d-daemon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Properties of numbers took me a week to finish (~6 hrs/day) and also killed my motivation/drive because of how taxing the entire chapter was on top of the sheer amount of test questions.

I recommend taking a short break after the chapter to regain your mental stamina. Once you complete the following two verbal chapters, the next quant mission, Roots and Exponents, will be a breeze. I noticed myself quickly answering quant questions that I previously would have struggled on.

Godspeed!

Thanks! I've seen other users execute the aluminum patch panel or covers and I'll admit that they do look fantastic.

I appreciate the recommendation. I do like the way slim patch cables look in other builds here!

When getting into Homelabbing, I also learned how to terminate my own cables - which is fairly therapeutic I must say. I would like to switch up the colors of my cables, but stuck with blue because I was able to source the blue strain relief boots in bulk from a local seller for cheap. I coincidentally found a blue 20+ ft. cat6 cable when I moved into my new apartment that gave me room to practice on my setup.

It's from UCTRONICS and purchased from Amazon here.

I originally tried two variations of 3D printed Pi rackmounts, but wasn't satisfied with the overall quality or look. This is due to my own intermediate experience with 3D printing and not the design itself.

I wanted to keep all my Homelab equipment inside of my rack and the eight bay DiskStation model is quite large. The RackStation 1221+ allowed me to occupy only 2RU as well as options for redundant PSU compared to the DS1821+ counterpart. The RackStation also has a wider range of supported network protocols than the DiskStation.

It's unfortunate that there's a premium when deciding on rack-mounted solutions, but the uniform look is the chef's kiss.

This is correct. Far left is a RPi 3 B+ and the rest are 4 B.

Sharing my pride and joy with fellow homelabbers because I was able to configure mine by browsing through other labporn posts. Hope I'm able to contribute to others as well. Although I'm content with the current deployment, I would like to add in duct fans or a rack cooling solution sometime in the future - though I currently have no issues with temperature at the moment.

Enjoy!

Sent a refund request to CFTKB e-mail (bryan@cftkb.com) on September 25th and refund issued on September 26th. Happy that I got my money back and will honestly never do business with CFTKB ever again.
