And this is why I'm never going to use my isp's modem/router. I also use a separate modem and router, so that if my modem has some kind of backdoor that my isp can use, they can't get many informations about my lan. My n

This is exactly why Whatsapp got so popular. It's just MMS with few improvements (better image/video/sound quality) and at no price (well, 0.99€/year now, but it used to be free for most of its life). It even has the sam

Thanks for this. Lately I've been researching a way to automate things for a bunch of vps I own (nothing important, mostly self-hosted services like tt-rss), and obviously I looked at Chef/Puppet/Salt/Ansible and the lik
