I have an Eco Tank for work. It's okay. The print quality isn't impressive, but it does the job. The ink is about $100 CAD for the 4 colours, but we get many hundreds of pages out of that. Just be sure to use it regularly because the nozzles are finicky bitches.

I'm in my 40s and I've been pirating since the 90s.

Wait.. what? I didn't even consider this could be an option. Is anyone willing to point me at some accurate information about how to get started? Like.. where do I put a bash file, and how is it structured? How can I automate it? So many questions. I'm only sort of familiar with bash, as in I've seen the term and watched my coworker do some wizardry once.

I learned programming on my 64 at 8 years old. I typed in the code from a programming book, ran it, saw what it did, and changed it around to alter the output to my liking.

I've made a whole career out of that.

I'm just learning Linux so I literally Googled the easiest version and installed Ubuntu. I can't even figure out folder permissions. I'm in over my head, but at least I'm also getting made fun of.

I'm in your intended audience. I currently have a Pi. None of the other stuff appealed to me.

What coke-fueled bender produced this brilliant idea?

It's been a bit of a struggle, but I switched my media server over in December and I will never go back to Windows.

This is where many Canadian comics got their start. I'm not sure if you'll be able to find any of it, but it's an interesting rabbit hole regardless.
