Worried about Slashing b/c my internet connectivity can be flaky

You cannot be slashed for going offline. Regular offline penalties are tiny (eg. 1% downtime -> earn 3.43% instead of 3.5%)

You may be inactivity leaked if you're offline for multiple days at the same time as >1/3 of the entire network, but if that ever happens you'll hear about it everywhere on twitter/FC on day 1

Flaky internet is not terrible for staking once you are synced up. 

It is more stressful to worry about the computer going offline due to error or some problem with Linux.

Switching from geth to nethermind took less than 3.5 hrs for me to get back up and attesting to blocks.

I missed 37 attestations which cost me 0.00064 $ETH. At today's price of $2281 that's a whopping $1.46/ validator down. Well worth the downtime.

I was offline for 3.5hrs straight and missed out on $1.46 worth of rewards. Didn’t get slashed, just inactivity penalty.
