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.

    I’ve often wondered about down votes as well. It’s not the points, as I care nothing about that. However, if you’re going to down vote something, have the balls to explain why. Maybe the down voter knows something that we all can learn from. It just seems like a common courtesy to do so.

      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.
