Yeah, it's stupid advice. Even if you isolate the untrustworthy ISP router with firewalling and VLANs and a device you control and trust, who's to say that hostile device does not have a microphone, and is not transmitting information about who's at home and their movements via emf analysis?
And who knows what else we are not even thinking about.
Keep hostile/untrustworthy hardware off your premises. Best bet.
Absolutely. We agree 100%. It frustrates me that nostr:nprofile1qqs0eac2gh86s9l24qfmnw52xawhz0f3d862yleaetpafygjmanaxlspzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3uamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46z7ramexg calls himself so while betraying that he's like 3 YouTube videos deep into privacy and security. And he's gotta larger platform on Nostr, like bro you gotta do your research or you're gonna fuck peoples privacy up.
Well, he pigheadedly refuses to admit #monero is a better privacy tool too, so his opinion as it comes to opsec is worth what it is worth.
Not much.
Yeah true, but on Monero he's ideologically tainted by his religious allegiance to Bitcoin. Router software? There's no excuse he can make there, simply ignorance and negligence.
I've often found that categorical mistakes tend to extrapolate into other areas.
His denial about Monero is a failure of elementary critical thinking and intellectual honesty. We shouldn't be surprised that it bleeds into other areas.
While in one case, as you said, it is a religious-dogmatic issue, the fact that it's become so for him is evidence of a failure of critical thinking.
That same lack manifests in the scenario of the router.
