During downtime I didn’t really care about surfing on reddit, but it does feel a bit weirder to surf into some “random” Lemmy instance like lemmy.dbzer0.com on my work computer for some reason. Do you surf the fediverse at work?
Be careful browsing federated social media on work internet. You don’t know where requests will be made, I’ve seen a post of someone getting in trouble because lemmynsfw was pre-loaded by their browser.
Use a VPN
Ouff great call! Then I’ll just keep browsing on my phone.
why would a VPN help with that
lemmynsfw is already blocked by corporate wifi. Nothing to worry about.
Trying to access blocked content is still a major red flag, and there’s over 500 instances on lemmy atm. I wouldn’t risk it.
Wow its getting popular.
I only use work hardware for work. I only use work networks for work. I have a cell phone off wifi for everything else
Same, but I do have factorio on my work laptop. For during the train ride.
The IT department knows. They chuckle when the scans come back.
No. I’ve got a cushy job that I enjoy and they treat us well so I just work. Plus there isn’t enough content on here for the whole day.
Im doing that right now :) but I also never do anything personal on my work computer
I do a lot of personal surfing on my work computer… But in my country the employer isn’t allowed to track what I do on the computer as long as I haven’t committed a crime 🤷
same here, but I dont trust them, if they can technically and easily track me without me or anyone noticing I dont want to risk that
That’s why one should work in the same dept as the ones with the capability to check :p
absolutely, e.g. right now
I don’t do any personal browsing on my work computer except checking the weather before driving home. I do check Lemmy on my phone throughout the day, though.
The benefit of being IT at work is that I’m also in charge of the filter. I’m even allowed to setup a VPN tunnel to access my home network, but then again, you can do that sort of thing with an 8-employee company.
Just start up your own instance at a suitable domain name. “computerexcellencetrainingcourses.com” or something.
Besides listening to podcasts, browsin Lemmy/Reddit is the only entertainment I ever use my phone for.
Yup.
Only from my phone and I never connect to work wifi with it.
Only on subscribed coms with NSFW blocked, same as reddit.
Absolutely. But I work from home, so it’s way easier.
doing it right now! But from my phone, using Boost for Lemmy App
I just did
