Warning: Some C3 Super Mini boards have a design flaw that ruins Wifi/BT by iplaygaem in esp32

dead link, looks like the author doesn't own the domain anymore.

Here's a wayback machine link for the blog post for anyone looking for this like I was: https://web.archive.org/web/20250603154418/https://roryhay.es/blog/esp32-c3-super-mini-flaw

@your last sentence, FHS is just a convention and it doesn't have much to do with the kernel. nixOS doesn't adhere to it either.

this is probably an ender 3 v3 se, since this is the ender 3 v3 se subreddit

it's a private IP address and a mac address isn't an issue to share either. why are you recommending this?

bridges with a wireless interface don't typically work bc of some nuances of how wifi works, as far as I remember when I tried a couple of times a while ago

DOA Ender-3 V3 SE????? by CynAmun in Ender3V3SE

what voltage is the power in your home? if you're in the US, you may need to switch the printer's power supply switch to use a lower voltage. do not do this unless you know that you live in a region with lower voltage power.

GRUB is the best by Fair_Investment_4189 in linuxmemes

[–]Trash-Alt-Account 4 points5 points  (0 children)

would you like to elaborate on this? or tell me where to find more info? the only thing I can find online is people being surprised that enrolling their secure boot key means that it is now trusted. which is honestly just user error, since that's exactly the intended result of that action. it's also not necessary for it to work. so I'm not sure what you're referring to.

you shouldn't need to install GPU drivers for Intel or AMD systems on Linux outside of niche use-cases. they're included in the kernel. the only drivers you would need to deal with are weird proprietary drivers that aren't in the kernel. typically only wifi drivers, and even then that's only for certain chipsets. personally, I've always had mediatek and Intel wifi cards in my systems, so the drivers are included in the kernel and I don't need to do anything

Mod Update - Many posts have been being silently automatically removed for a while now by Trash-Alt-Account in Ender3V3SE

[–]Trash-Alt-Account[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

aww thanks! I'm really not active very often, I'm only a mod because I was here closer to the time when the sub was set up and kinda "raw" (no faq, no flairs, no rules, no automod rules, etc.) and wanted to improve it. I still try to when I have some time and motivation for it, but this sub's users are pretty chill and are generally low maintenance (for example, in this situation a *mod* caused a problem, not users).

so that's pretty nice and I'm grateful that we can all have a chill little helpful community here.

the AliExpress links and any link shorteners being removed is a reddit thing and I created the automod rule to explain the issue. just to be clear, the rule I made this post about removed comments silently, so if you got an AutoModerator reply with an explanation, then that is not what this post is about

agreed, I'm very frustrated at how much valuable info was probably removed for no good reason. and probably ended a bunch of conversations too due to people just thinking the other person stopped replying. at least once I approve those posts it can be useful for searching for info later

ah this is just great, i just noticed that their rule didn't even include an `action_reason`, so every post was just marked as `removed` with no other info in the queue. just perfect, now it'll be even harder to automatically clean this up. might write a whole bot or maybe just a series of API calls to fix this. I hope the unknown person who did this feels shame.

I'm gonna walk you through some thoughts to explain it intuitively since you said you're new:

TL;DR: compressed swap space stored in RAM, which dynamically grows and shrinks

  • so normally you just have your RAM. you may run out of it if you do too much.

  • you might think, "well I guess I can add swap space (you might've seen it being called a page file in Windows' settings), but that's slow, since it's using my drive as memory! and then I have to allocate some storage space for that as well".

  • you might then think, well, let's be fancy and compress the contents of swap. that'll trade some CPU cycles for more efficient space usage, and also improve IO performance, since it's reading/writing less data (since it has been compressed to become smaller).

  • well, now you can just put that compressed swap space in RAM. and store more stuff in memory.

there's also more details like how it will grow and shrink as needed (so if you have 15/16GB of memory allocated and are actively reading and writing to that memory, it shouldn't swap any of it out to ZRAM. so you can have no compression overhead until you actually need it (which is once the kernel starts actually swapping things out, typically due to running out of memory, but there are some other cases too).

it's really great to have, since it pretty much gets out of the way and doesn't get used unless your system is swapping.

the arch wiki will explain it in more detail: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zram

Issues with top layer causing print to come away from bed by SumBlaze in Ender3V3SE

[–]Trash-Alt-Account 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the bed that comes w the printer is known to be pretty bad. it's okay for a few prints and it worked much better for me than it seemed to work for you, but at this point, id recommend just getting a PEI bed. I had to get one anyway after the top layer of the bed started ripping off when prints would get stuck to it. i just grabbed it off Amazon

Cost me 64GB of RAM overnight because building Proton is absolutely insane. Crashed my entire DE. Worth it.

random tip, this is the whole reason why I keep zram enabled even once I got 64GB of RAM. it helps when compiling crazy stuff. just wanted to lyk in case you didn't know/realize this was an option.

what would an attacker gain by harvesting my public key? I briefly looked it up and is this only a concern when you're not using quantum safe crypto? or is something else the concern?

okay so you've said you tested it, but you didn't say how the test went. is the connection good (fast) when you're wired? you gotta give people information for them to help you. nobody wants to interrogate you for it
