Don't use more than one ad blocker extension on the same browser, it can cause conflicts.

It sounds like he wants everything done server side like they did in the mid 90's. It's certainly possible, but it won't result in a very good user experience. The whole page would have to reload to change anything on it.
Just make sure the VPS will shut down if the bandwidth is exceeded rather than giving you a big overage charge.
It looks like they are trying to compete with fedex on how much damage they can do to your package.
If they don't want to maintain the copper lines, they can always replace them with fiber.
8GB would be fine for basic use if it was upgradable. With soldered RAM the laptop becomes e-waste when 8GB is no longer enough.
I typically look for 1080p X265 encodes around 2-4 mbps to save disk space. I will download higher bitrates for anything with a lot of film grain since it will get very blocky at lower bitrates.
I can't tell much difference between 1080p and 4K unless I'm very close to a large screen. Also, most 4K files are HDR and I don't have anything that supports HDR.
They will usually block port 25 so you can't run a mail server. It's unusual for an ISP to block everything unless you are on CGNAT.
All of the mirrors listed on their website are safe. Just pick one close to you. If it downloads too slow, you can try a different mirror. If you know how to use bittorrent, you can use their torrent link. It will typically be the fastest.
With Wayland, programs still can't restore their window position or size. It sure would be nice if they could get basic functionality working.
If your ISP provides IPv6, set that up. Everything will have a globally routed address, so your domains will work from your LAN and the internet. If you don't have IPv6 available, get a free tunnel from Hurricane Electric.
OK, now ban bootloader locking next.
