Time is rare when you're figuring out how to #CNC the best way, replacing #ip drivers and proprietary software controller with #FreeSoftware like #grbl + #arduino, while finding best #CAD & #CAM alternatives to commercial #fusion365 and #vcarve tools in #extensions for @inkscape like #gcodetools, #addons for @Blender like #fabexCNC and last but not least the universal gcode sender #UGS as perfect post-processor for a free workflow.
That assembled like a clockwork makes a lot of noise, dust, and work, but beautiful sculptures. What would you cut out of wood first?

Depuis début 2024, un acteur malveillant diffuse des extensions Chrome fonctionnelles mais piégées via des faux sites imitant des services populaires (VPN, IA, crypto, etc.).
Des sites frauduleux diffusent des extensions qui imitent ou détournent des outils légitimes comme :
FortiVPN (Fortinet) DeepSeek (IA) Google Analytics Statistiques de sites web
Ces extensions semblent fiables, car elles s'appuient sur des services connus ou crédibles. En réalité, elles :
Volent vos données Injectent du code malveillant Espionnent votre navigation Bypassent les protections du navigateur (CSP, sandbox…)
Exemples de faux domaines :
forti-vpn[.]com, sitestats[.]world, deepseek-ai[.]info…
