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.

    My company uses zscalar. It’s essentially a company endorsed MitM attack and for that reason alone I don’t use the work laptop for anything but work.

      We use zscaler too, I never knew what it did, only that it fucks with printing when it needs to be reauthenticated. I hate it so much. Nothing but a nuisance.

      I think that was the goal.

      seriously, why don’t people just use their phones for non-work stuff in the office? you can leave those disconnected from wifi so nothing is visible to the company.

        I’m not in an office. I just swap to my own desktop if I need to do anything non work related.
