You could use that machine as your home server. It would open up a lot of possibilities. Sync your phone contacts and calendars, backup all your systems, store/stream media, host your own clousldserver, your own Internet messenger server for family and friends (snikket for example). Host a Minecraft server for the little ones or whatever comes to mind.

I bought the hl 5240 around ten years ago and still use the same drum. I buy ink powder every couple of years on eBay to refill it.

It will refuse to print every couple of thousand pages to force you to replace the drum, but that is just a kind of planned obsolescence in form of an internal timer. I think some sort of this shit will happen on every printer nowadays. Its only purpose is to create a hole in your pocket and produces a lot of plastic waste.

I found a kind of konami code you can enter for this model to reset the drum counter on the interweb, though, so its not an issue for this model.

So before you buy check if such a code exists for the model you have chosen, before buying one that will waste your time and money.

Power off; open front cover; hold go button while powering on until only 3 lights are lit (it should take around 15 sec.); press go 2 times; wait 20-30 seconds then press go five times; close front cover.

You could try different brands of oatmilk. It might need some getting used to, but some brands actually taste pretty close to cowmilk. I favor a brand called no milk (available at lidl at least in Germany), which has some sort of fat added I think (it`s got 3.5 percent fat like milk). You might be able to find an equivalent over in the States.

Start here for a good privacy focusef overview of currently available internet messengers:

From the blog entry by the same author:

Cons: no verification of contacs possible at the moment, Increased battery usage compared to other messengers, some client instabilities, no full security audit.

Apart from these points the messenger should be secure and privacy friendly.

I prefer the conversations (xmpp) messenger at the moment. It's using a well established and lightweight protocol (20 years old already)
