  • Brother has great drivers, and cheap printers, but if you need an inkjet for colour printing, make sure you get one with an ink-tank instead of a cartridge system.

    Ink bottles are DRM free so you can always use third-party ink, and even the manufacturers own ink bottles are typically much, much, much cheaper per ml than cartridges, although the upfront cost of the printer can be quite a bit higher because of that.

    Personally, I have an Epson ET-8550, which I mainly use for photography. Its been fairly reliable, and I’ve had no issues using it with Linux. I filled it up with ink when I bought it, and even after a little more than year of use, its still got a over a quarter of its original ink remaining. I probably spent multiple times more for stationary paper than I do in ink for it.







  • Even in Stalin’s time, there was collective leadership. The western idea of a dictator within the communist system is exaggerated. Misunderstandings on that subject are caused by the lack of comprehension of the real nature and organization of the Communist power structure. Stalin, although holding wide powers, was merely the captain of a team, and it seems obvious that Krushchev will be the new captain.

  • As well as this, GrapheneOS also supports automatic rebooting for if your phone is taken by force. As once you’ve logged in from a cold boot, your data is in a vulnerable state where cops can access it without needing your passcode. With GOS, you can specify an amount of time for the phone to wait since the most recent login, and once that time has passed, it will automatically reboot the phone, placing your data back into the cold and secure state, so that the cops must then acquire your passcode from you, at which point you’d be able to give them the duress pin and ensure that the data is removed safely.
