I have a Canon printer, I actually can't trust that their print nozzle won't get jammed up after sitting idle for a while. So I had claude setup a systemd script to print a picture of my dog every week, I ensure it has enough CMYK spectrum to stress the printer. Its a nice surprise every monday as I sit on my desk to see a sudden picture pop up from the printer :)

I wish printers could have a mode like this to print random images from an album, or a calendar, rather than wastefully draining ink into a sponge every few days. If nothing else, maybe it could be some kid's high school science fair project idea.
How about printing a QR code for a randomly generated private key for Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin wallet, then every few days you get a tiny moment of excitement, hope, and then disappointment. It's still wasteful, but it could pay off big time?

Laser printers are your friend. The savings on consumables alone will make it pay for itself.

And I printed a lot of photos, notes, documents, etc

What? You absolutely can have spaces; most of mine look more like [Service] Type = oneshot WorkingDirectory = %h/current/ Environment = RAILS_ENV=production ExecStart = /bin/sh -lc "bin/db-backup --verbose"
Friend, you have changed my life
I find myself doing this sort of thing all the time..
systemd is complex on first view, but after using it you didn't want to use anything else. It's handy to manage everything using systemctl

What makes you say that? You can set the PATH right in the crontab. Is that harder to "predict" than it being set in /etc/bashrc, ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile, /etc/systemd/…, or wherever else?

I've used Linux since 1994 and I don't know it by heart. But luckily it's pre-printed in the crontab as comments:
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
#
# m h dom mon dow command
The rest of the complaints, sure. Next time I need a cronjob, I'll try it out.

Epson Ecotank. I’ve been using mine for years and I only had to buy new ink once. And I printed a lot of photos, notes, documents, etc
