We had some people who would burn too much time on social media, so, they got added to a special rule on the `pf` firewall surrounding the office which blurred all images from selected sites, like facebook. I blurred instead of something more obvious like blocking or inverting the images since it was designed to counter casual use and was more amusing. Anybody who couldn't evade my trivial firewall block shouldn't have been working there.
I remember watching logs and I would progressively ratchet up the blur level if it wasn't effective enough.
I terminated the experiment when an employee casually told me he had an appointment at the eye doctor because it was getting hard to see his computer screen, it would never get any better than this.
I did this for fun a while back in our office.
