    I made something crude with python and flask, but it’s only to print address labels, always the same settings (paper size and so on)

    So i just put a textbox, press the button and it prints there.

    When printing generic stuff, you would need to set paper type, paper size, color or BW, if have both sides printed, if printing from a specific tray, then some kind of user authentication (i am lazy and i didn’t care about privacy so i used cloudflare access), so the complexity becomes much bigger.

    Before making my crude script I searched long time for a free or cheap solution, but I didn’t find. If you find, let me know


  • I had the same situation, my hotel used fortinet and they blocked almost everything

    Even VPNs that used to work in China were blocked

    I used my phone 4g hotspot to initialize the tailscale connection, which was blocked, I chose my server as an exit point, then I switched back to the WiFi. Amazingly, once logged in to tailscale, it kept connected to my server.

    Then for added safety I used my kasm install to stream a Firefox browser running on my server

    I don’t really understand this, why would a hotel pay thousands and thousands of euro for a “Chinese internet experience” that is going to piss off every single customer
