he says it's sent to a mirror, however that's not the case :) It's
just the MirrorManager instance that receives it.
Ah, I see. Many thanks for the clarification.

I don't plan to, since disabling it would itself open up doors for fingerprinting, haha. Anyhow, your answer was well detailed. Thanks!
Another question:
Is there a way to disable non-HTTPS mirrors? I don't see any reason why your ISP should be able to see what distribution you use, and most importantly, the exact package versions you're installing/updating. (I know DNF will only install signed packages, so I don't have any concerns regarding security.)
Thanks
