If their IT department hasn’t expanded their skills beyond making and maintaining those original websites, I could totally see a long delay happening before/if they join the fediverse.

More likely they aren’t given the budget they have requested.

They are also probably busy doing regular IT things like maintaining the IT infrastructure.

Local news stations don’t really exist in my country so I don’t know how many employees they usually have but it’s possible they don’t even have an IT department.

But active is filled with old content with barely any comments.

Yeah, I really want r/sysadmin on here.

They have a Discord but Discord is so incredibly annoying to use for this.

P.S. change the sort mode to hot or top (x hours) to get more content. The default of active sucks.

Well, everyone wanting to buy anything with a proccessor in it, has been getting fucking these last 3 years

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good app still.

They aren’t, and our private phones are also connected to the network ;)

Why though‽ Most consumer routers even have a guest network enabled by default.

it really depends on what the company does.

That’s true, but an attack could probably cause a lot of damage to any company (especially a big one) without proper security. Regardless of what they do.

Well at least you don’t have to deal with ITs PC policies, which can get pretty annoying. Allowing any device to join the company network seems incredibly stupid though.

Let’s just hope that none of your unmanaged machines get compromised.

At my previous company, only domain work computers could join the PC WiFi (with a certificate, so no passwords) and work smartphones could only join the work WiFi for mobiles.

Private devices and very limited amount of non domain computers were only allowed on the guest network and couldn’t connect to any other.

The company didn’t do anything special that needed extra security.

Alright. Seems reasonable as long as the devices are sandboxed from the company network and resources.

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.

How could you see it was connected to a known tor IP? Would you not just see the IP of the VPN server and not the final destination?

And VPN servers are often flagged for all kinds of shit because some use them for tor or spam.
