Surely, one of you fine folks has a better solution to attach a spare fan to an ISP gateway without damaging it? (sh.itjust.works)

Oh yeah that would be a great alternative! It's funny, I've been wondering the same. It's in bridge mode, has a MASSIVE heatsink and a fan but is still super hot. Does modems really get that hot? I'd be curious to inspect what kind of traffic is coming out of the modem because my pihole isn't catching anything from my router-onwards.

Not sure! Does seem...oddly inefficient, though.
