I think your best bet is to assume that everything you don't control is a vector.

The modems run binary blobs you don't control.

A standard modem with a singular hookup to a router is as good as it gets. Maybe you are contemplating the modem as a combo -- if it is also a router and wifi, you can bet the ISP sees that as "Their Network" and not "Your Network" and any WiFi capabilities could be used to reverse hack insecure devices theoretically like smart TV or IoT.

You could put the modem router combo in a Faraday cage to dampen the signal theoretically.

That may not be answers to the query but I think the smart short answer is: yes, unless verified no.

Edit: to go further, theoretically they can capture any traffic and if they get the encryption key decrypt the traffic.

Or maybe with a quantum computer decrypt with ease. And if you have any leaks or there are backdoors then who knows what the consequences could be, cough cough xz

Block the ISP DNS and use your own on the router level.

You could look into wireguard or VPN on the router level.

Probably OpenSense.

As long ad your device has a IMEI though not like it matters.

There's probably a million other things you would need too. Make sure your browser doesn't use its own DNS, eg, Firefox + CloudFlare by default.

I assume you could theoretically split traffic up over multiple ISP's making it a PITA to try to make sense of.

Also obviously separate trusted & untrusted devices, WiFi and wired into separate networks.

Earthquakes and fallout are no biggie, just get yourself a standard elementary school desk and you good.

Imagine them disconnecting someone's land-line phone if they detected heresy against Zeus & Mount Olympus.

They should argue that they are not qualified to be a police force, nor a courthouse. They are simply a private business & a utility.

The Web Browser is the new TeleVision.

There is too much financial power to corrupt for us to win this fight.

The way out is to ditch HTTPS, HTML & CSS and create a new spec that is purposely limited in its scope suchas Gopher or Gemini (although I might argue Gemini is slightly too narrow as I think it would need Images, Audio & Video and maybe Input Forms depending on scope)

HTTP & HTML must die. It had a good run, it's time for a new Hyper v2 world outside the mainstream downtown doofus hangouts of social media & Advertising impersonating Internet Things like search, social & email.

We need a new web browser without all the legacy garbage & complexities. Without the DRM corruption shoehorned by Amazon, Disney, Netflix & Google.

And it needs to be limited by design to just what is needed so financial interests can't corrupt & screw it up.

This is called Controlled Opposition.

The Oil Companies do the same thing -- fund the leaders of anti-oil activists in countries where they are not #1 and use them as a proxy to target and harm their competitors.

Profit. Rinse & repeat.

Mafia tactics. The oil companies let government money and investors innovate in the solar industry and pay all the upfront costs. Then did a controlled collapsed and bought the companies IP up in bankruptcy for pennies to the dollar. And now that the oil companies own the Patents & IP it's totally okay for you to morally buy their products.

The bottom line is that The House Always Wins and what matters is who is allowed to collect the money for the grift. Territory of who is allowed to buy & sell on what streets.

We would be better off if Firefox didn't exist and the EU broke up Google for Anti-trust. At least then Manifest v3.0 DRM might not have come to be.

Is it me or is source forge just the mark of dead things.

I always avoid that place. It feels like where you go to get broken stuff.

They're gonna take me out back and shoot me for saying it but Launchpad too. Like I'm glad it works for you but it feels like when Debian had a website in 2015 that looked like 1997. How are we going to attract new talent when the rift between the average developers and the old guard widens over time. All the git VCS modernization supercharged development. Like bugzilla was "fine", but " fine" was the problem in a world of better when you couldn't even upload a > 250kb jpeg and other legacy hold us back stuff.

8 billion people, you do you. Also are we really complaining about more choices? In the spirit of FOSS, choice is good YMMV no prob

ALL ANTI-CHEAT IS SPYWARE.

ALL DRM IS THEFT.

The bullies won.

Maybe Nintendo should sue the power company for providing electricity for those people who played Zelda ahead of time.

While they're at it they should sue VMWare too and maybe reboot the API lawsuits of Oracle vs Google.
