Already replied the same in another comment, but I recently got the "YHD-8390" on Aliexpress for around 100$ - has wifi, usb, ethernet, and works pretty well.

thermal printers are centuries backwards from anything like CUPS.

An easy way to do this, which I use to print recipes with my TP, is to render the page as an image. I use dom-to-image for that.

Another Down Detector bullshit article.... it's getting incredibly tiring. Every time a provider (Phone, Internet or even cloud services) suffer issues ALL of them are reported as down.

Could be! Other comments (~~can't find them now as the issue got full of useless comments~~ e.g. https://github.com/stylus/stylus/issues/2938#issuecomment-31...) also noted that the GHSA bot have nuked a lot of other npm packages since days or weeks in the same fashion, so it could also be an AI scanner going full full nuclear.

That could track but people in the GitHub issue ( https://github.com/stylus/stylus/issues/2938#issuecomment-31... ) have found that no "other" version of Stylus has been released.

The package was pulled at: 2025-07-23T03:03:01.239Z

And the GHSA advisory: 2025-07-23T03:03:56Z

So the GHSA was released after the pull (by a minute).

I don't see how you can "protect" against a large language model that cannot do browsing.

CGNAT does not means unroutable IP, it just means you would only have assigned a small range of ports on a routable IP with others.

Hetzner is famously notorious for this, but not enough for publications to pick up this. So by your definitions, YEARS of people talking about their experiences with this is nothing?
