  • I’m not sure what the previous poster was thinking of, but I also thought they were talking about distro packages. I meant my post to be a complement to yours, not a counter-argument.

    So far the recommendations I’ve seen have been to update OS ca-certificates, or to manually remove the compromised ones. And the Python devs are saying to update pip and uv. I guess the same goes for npm, but I uninstalled that a long time ago due to the abundance of supply chain attacks. I haven’t seen anyone trustworthy source recommend rolling anything back.



  • From my amateur investigation, it seems like pip/npm/etc. packages are potential attack vectors, BUT afaik this issue only allows a malicious actor to impersonate a HTTPS server, it doesn’t give them any new means to redirect your connect to their fake server. So if I understand this right, to be directly affected you would have had to:

    • Accidentally connected to a fake server, like steamcomnunity instead of steamcommunity.
    • Used a network controlled by the malicious actor, for example a public wifi.
    • Be targeted by your ISP, a government agency or some other corporation capable of intercepting internet traffic from your own network.

    So to me it seems like the risk of being affected is quite low for the average user, BUT (again) I assume that through sheer numbers, there’s a risk that some other developer gets infected by malware or gets their credentials stolen, which in turn could to supply chain attacks in the future.

    I guess one thing Pythong developers have to be mindful of is that they might have venvs containing old versions of pip, which aren’t automatically fixed when you upgrade pip on system level



  • It’s a bit hard to see in the photos what is actually going on, photographing glossy black plastic isn’t easy… Looks like large part of the print has some kind of patterning to it, kind of as if the nozzle is vibrating a lot. Maybe not relevant to the problem you’re having, just thought it looked strange.

    Have you calibrated filament flow rate? I can’t say for sure from the photo, but I think there are some things that look like they could be over-extruded








  • If you look at the edge above the lifted corner, isn’t that supposed to be straight, or are the walls not meant to be flat?

    My guess is that you need to print slower and/or increase nozzle temp. If the filament isn’t properly melted that also leaves tension in the material, which can cause corners to be pulled off the bed. I.e. cooling issues is not the only thing that can cause warping. What are your current slicer settings? I assume your high-flow nozzle isn’t PTFE-lined, so printing hotter should be safe.

    Those kind of uneven layers can also be caused by a mechanical issue on the vertical axis, but I don’t think that would increase the risk of warping.



  • If your printer is fully stock, replacing the bed springs either with silicone spacers or stiffer springs can be a good value upgrade. Keeps the bed from unleveling itself while printing, and IMO it also makes the initial adjustment a tiny bit easier. A bed probe is an immense quality of life improvement though, if you can afford to spend a little more money, since it both compensates for less-than-perfect bed leveling and also for any unevenness in the bed surface.

    On the subject of upgrades, stay away from the “all-metal extruder” which used to be popular on Amazon etc. The stock Ender 3/v2 extruder is poorly designed and breaks easily. The metal version of it doesn’t break, but it’s still has the same bad design. If you’re going to invest money in a new extruder there are better options.


  • You mean with a closed enclosure? Maybe try printing with it open then, PLA generally want as much cooling as you can muster. I don’t have an enclosure myself, but I’ve heard that some people who do have to print with their doors open when using PLA.

    Also does it print straight, and then later start bulging while its printing other layers on top? Or did it print the bulge that way?

    update: I zoomed in closer on your other photo, and that choppy edge + horizontal lines are also indications that something is wrong. My first guess(es) would be either an extrusion issues (mis-calibrated extruder/slider, trying to print too fast, poorly machined nozzle…) something mechanical (frame isn’t properly assembled, loose roller wheel, hotend isn’t fully screwed to the carriage…).

    Btw. I saw you wrote that you have a 0.2mm nozzle. Just to be sure, you did put that into your slicer, right? The default settings are probably 0.4mm nozzle. Also what line width and layer height are you using in the slicer settings?




  • I had a similar experience, though I read about it here a few days before Youtube started pushing videos about how Omarchy supposedly is the reason that everybody must switch to Linux now.

    What I have gathered, without being more than moderately interested:

    • Some guy made a compositor / tiling window manager named Hyprland. According to its wikipedia article, its main selling points appear to be dynamic tiling, keyboard centric usage, and some fancy blur algorithm.
    • Hyprland appears to have had some kind of freemium monetization model, where you had to pay extra for the full version. I.e. unlike the vast majority of Linux and its ecosystem, not FOSS. Perfectly legal of course, but could still be considered a dick move to not give as much back to a community where most other people are giving away their work for free.
    • The guy who makes Hyprland reinforces his image as a douchebag by posting racist far right rants on his blog and other places.
    • Omarchy is (was?) a script which installs Hyprland on Arch.
    • Omarchy/Hyprland is riddled with ridiculously bad security issues, allegedly as a result of relying heavily on vibe coding.
    • Some rich guy decides to give a lot of money to Omarchy/Hyprland, so the developer can let people use Hyprland for free, and rebrand Omarchy as a Linux distribution.


  • That has been my experience too, having run Linux on different diy PCs from gtx970 to rtx3090. Everything has just worked.

    So an acquaintance’s son asked for upgrade advice and I told him to get a rtx5060 because that would give him the most performance on his limited budget, without also requiring a PSU upgrade… And it turned out to be a nightmare to get it up and running. I spent hours to get it to boot and then to actually use the GPU, and the computer still freezes on shutdown so he has to hold the power button to turn it off.

    It could be the combination of rtx50xx, gigabyte motherboard and Bazzite, i.e. not necessarily only Nvidia’s fault but the computer worked fine while he had a gtx1080
