What printer/scanner do you recommend which works out-of-the-box with a Linux computer?

If it is a network printer it is better.

I have heard HP printers work all great, is it true?

Super documentaire sur Arte : "À la recherche du temps perdu"

Le narrateur et réalisateur nous explique qu'il court après le temps et que malgré les technologies il a l'impression de n'en pas avoir assez.

On le suit et il nous fait voyager.

Je suis content d'avoir visionné ce film car en 1h30, il a résumé la plupart des idées que j'ai en tête et sur lesquelles je travaille.

Erratum:
I misread the article's date: Wire's client has been open sourced on July 22th 2016 and not today (July 22th 2017). I did a little mistake. :D

Wire, an alternative messaging app to WhatsApp and Skype is now fully open source. The server-side code has been opened in April and today it is now the client-side to be opened.

The app is working on all major desktop and mobile platforms.

Today's article about open sourcing the client-side: https://medium.com/@wireapp/you-can-now-build-your-own-wire-client-ea9ed9214e26

Oh, I just saw that Ring 1.0 is finally out since yesterday!

Ring is an open source equivalent to Skype which is fully decentralized and which encrypts all video, audio and text communications.

It is compatible with GNU/Linux, Windows, MacOS and Android

Another good initiative to support!

On Thursday July 27th begins the Sale of Filecoin Tokens and it will run for 4 weeks or until all tokens are sold!

Filecoin is a kind of crypto-currency to allow people to share storage space. So you can store your encrypted data on someone else computer against Filecoins.

As I don't see any news about this on the website, you may need to subscribe to the newsletter to get information to become investor in Filecoin.

Bon, maintenant vous devez faire du bon boulot. :D
