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.

It might just be an error. It's not too hard to hit one by mistake when scrolling on a touch screen device.

Could be. Not ruling that out. It seems to pile up tho on certain comments tho. Makes me wonder. I'm always down to be schooled. Shit son, ring the bell! Ahhh the internet.
