I’m going to cast another vote for a reverse proxy, such as NginxProxyManager. It’s really easy to set everything up, and they’re usually very easy to run in Docker/Podman.

One thing to note: if you end up with a domain with mandatory HSTS, you’ll have to use DNS-based certificate generation rather than HTTP based, since unencrypted HTTP is blocked (chicken/egg problem to get HTTPS working). It’s not hard, but you have to be aware of that limitation.

Lol, reality doesn’t matter

Very misleading title. Apparently floating an idea is now committing to implement a policy.

Maybe consider routing your traffic through an SSH tunnel?

That’s great, but fossil fuels are often available in the event of a power outage, and that can save lives during a winter storm. Availability is just as important as efficiency, and until we can make our power grid more resilient, we need to factor that in.

They’ll just bake that logic into the printer directly

Censorship of online content is good, but simultaneously the censorship of sexually explicit books in elementary schools is evil.

Neat.

Doesn’t the RPi still go through the ISP? You’d still have to find a way to bypass their hijacking attempts, just on a different device this time.

1. Start with something simple like Mint or Fedora. It’s quite easy to use.

2. Can you be more specific about the specific cable and software? Odds are it works, or it can work with some tinkering.

3. Brother printers work great in Linux in my experience.
