Why YSK: It appears several Lemmy Instances are flagged as suspicious and at least 1 instance intentionally using the name of ransomware. A couple of the big enterprise monitoring suites (Fortiguard, ZScaler) will flag your account and may end up with you being pulled into an office for an explanation, or worse.
TL;DR: Keep browsing to your local instance at work for now.
Depends on your work. I agree with you, but for example my work is different.
Yes, we have managed devices as well, but my department specifically went for unmanaged devices. Just plain old laptops. Install whatever OS you want, do whatever you want. I only have the base windows install on there for some compatibility reasons, I mostly just use PopOS.
And we’re also explicitly allowed to browse private content - as long as the work gets done and we stay in budget, do whatever.
If you are on their network they can see what you are doing. At the end of the day, the business will protect itself.
Do what you want at your own risk. But never assume that any company is on your side.
This is so simple, whatever policy they have if something goes wrong they will try their best to find a scape goat.
Why do you people have phones with gigabytes of daya for?
Additionally, do your best not to be part of the company where you might get into trouble for just using internet.
Do the other departments use managed devices? IT might get pretty mad if your department went over them and bought computers themselves, lol.
It’s not optimal from a security and legal point of view.
IT specifically has an option for unmanaged devices, exactly for developers like me :)
Alright. Seems reasonable as long as the devices are sandboxed from the company network and resources.
