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?

I only use work hardware for work. I only use work networks for work. I have a cell phone off wifi for everything else
Yes but not from work devices.
This is the way, after all, Lemmy has lots of great mobile apps.
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.
Some instances at least will proxy the images requests, naking all traffic appears to be from your home instance but it’s not a guarantee. We had to turn it off because of some issues early during the rollout, we’ll look into turning it back on soon.
why would a VPN help with that
lemmynsfw is already blocked by corporate wifi. Nothing to worry about.
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.
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
Doin it right now…
From my phone of course. Work gear logs everything, always
Yup.
Yes, but I work from home. :-).
Seems like it’d be a crapshoot either way. Reddit and Lemmy.
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.
Besides listening to podcasts, browsin Lemmy/Reddit is the only entertainment I ever use my phone for.
Just start up your own instance at a suitable domain name. “computerexcellencetrainingcourses.com” or something.
Only from my phone and I never connect to work wifi with it.
Mastodon is my main social-media daily driver, so I do check it out during downtime at work. Lemmy less so, but every now and then.
I’m fortunate to have a decent data plan as well as good mobile signal in my workplace, so I just keep my phone off the company wi-fi to avoid any worry about what I’m loading through my company network.
Only on subscribed coms with NSFW blocked, same as reddit.
