Do you browse the fediverse at work? - Divisions by zero

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 [http://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

why would a VPN help with that

If you use a VPN, your employer/supervisor can’t see that you are on Pornhub, although, they do know you are browsing… something… that transfers a lot of data, and they know what VPN you are using.

(assuming you are on your own device, if you use a work computer, they will know regardless)

if they can see browser cache, which is what i assumed “pre-loaded into the browser” means there, then a VPN won’t help. you’re still making requests to pornhub
