Hi there, I’m looking to get into self-hosting for privacy reasons and I wanted to ask y’all: how inadvisable is it to utilize an ISP-owned router/modem? I feel like they’re able to track everything I do online with their more than likely integrated spyware.

    However, if you’re going to down vote something, have the balls to explain why.

    This is why downvoting is fundamentally flawed. It could be “I don’t like it” all the way up to “I know for a fact that’s wrong,” but nobody else will ever know the rationale.

    I don’t even see downvotes on my instance, and I never want to, because it just raises questions and confusion.

      This. I think, waay back in the day, down voting was a way to filter bad information. Whenever I see a down vote on something I’ve said, I’m always left wondering if I gave erroneous information, was I out in the weeds smokin’ crack? I’m always down for being educated.
